Of parangs, beer bottles and billard cues...

What do these 3 objects have in common? Apparently, these objects have more use than one, which I will talk about in the next part of the Uniquely Singapore series!

Uniquely Singapore Series Part #3

Where else in the world can you find the use of such objects in a fight.

Gun fights? That is so unheard of in our sunny little island, where only those men in blue working for the gahmen are allowed to carry a gun.

In Singapore, using what you have around you is the best solution.

I remember one Stephen Chow movie (can't recall) where someone was demostrating the use of a chair as a weapon and when the police arrives at the scene, just sit on the chair pretending nothing has happened. Its not so hilarious in words. You have to see it to laugh lah.

Ok I'm getting off track.

Sure, fights can occur anywhere and everywhere when you least expected it. Here are some typical scenarios.

Scenario 1: At the market

Young butcher is about to finish up for work and his chio girlfriend drops by to wait for him.

The butcher was in a foul mood due to (insert reason)

He spots some chao ah beng oogling at his girl.

"Nabeh! You bio my char boh ah? Die!"

*Rushes to that frail golden hair monkey with his parang.*

Scenario 2: At the coffeeshop

After having a little too much Tiger to drink, he starts to imagine that his best friend was hitting on his girl.

"Knn! I treat you like brother you made me a cuckold? Die!"

*Breaks beer bottle and stabs his friend, and in his drunken slumber, stabs his girlfriend as well*

The above mentioned weapons are just a few examples. Like I said, anything around the attacker can be used as a weapon. In other countries, people just settle it in a shoot out ala cowboy style or a drive pass.

What a safe country Singapore is don't you think? Uniquely Singapore enough?

Author's note: The above post was inspired by Brudder Kael who posted something about the need for bullet control instead of gun control overseas.

Excerpt:

Thug 1: We gonna settle it right here, right now!

Thug 2: Bring it on motherfucker...

Thug 1: You got bullets ma man? I ain't got no cash tonight, the police are fuckin up our turf and throwin my hommies in cells.

Thug 2: Shit nigger, the police has been roughin up ma turf too! Let's settle this like real niggas with no cashflo.

Thug 1: Aight cool. I've got scrabble.

Thug 2: I'mma whoop yo ass.

Thug 1: Well you lost motherfucker, time to die *busts out the piece*...on second thoughts, I'm just gonna knife you and save me some cash.
