Today, was another day where we had an eye-opening experience. We met up with a few of our buddies and went to explore the 洋货市场 (Foreign Goods Market). The Foreign Goods Market is like Singapore's Sungei Road Market from what we've heard. HOWEVER, you wouldn't believe what kind of stuff they sell there.
They sell loads of items that are Dangerous and Illegal for example, Daggers, Tasers, Green Lasers and Axes! The whole group of us were shocked to see almost every stall selling those items. It really makes me wonder where did they get all of the items from and why are they even selling it in the first place. The sense of safety changed immediately and we didn't dare to bargain or even walk seperately in smaller groups.
The thought of wondering what are the items for sale used for, constantly send chills down my spine for the whole duration being there. Now, I learnt to really appreciate how well maintained is Singapore's security even though at times it could be very troublesome. One's life is precious no matter who you are and I really think Singapore has done a good job in keeping that level of peace and security for a safer environment.
