The downfall of jurong point

With the upgrading works and constructions going on around Jurong Point, the only shopping mall for the far west jurong-nians, I am sad to say, it is always been over crowded with lot of shoppers. But recently, I was shock to see the increase amount of shoppers or just bystanders loitering around the mall.

They are the man in blacks. They have territories around. As long as you step out from the station platform, they are all around you, left and right. You will feel so “protected”. They gathered at any flat lands available, with their bottles of saint in their hands.

In the dark, they swallow the grass patches. In the dark you cannot see them. They are constantly folding arms, standing and looking around as if waiting for someone or something. From a distance, you can feel their presence; their common scent is the big give away. They territorize the MRT station, the bus interchange, the shopping mall, the taxi stand, the public phone booth, the POSB/DBS atms, the 7/11, the electrical stores. In fact they are here, there, everywhere.

Wherever corner, you will spot them. Whichever way you walk, you will come across with them. They have better phones than I have. Regardless weekdays or weekends, they conquer the land. If you can’t beat them, join them! The bangalas in black!
