Just waiting to happen

Boy stabbed at waterfront


Grim sight: Police checking the pool of blood at the scene

A
youth who was about to sit for his major examination papers next week died of stab wounds after involved in a fight at Kuching Waterfront this evening.

According to my source, the form five boy from Kampung Astana in Petra Jaya was last seen loitering at the popular waterfront around 5pm and mixing with some intoxicated youths when a fight broke out among them.


The next thing that happened was that the boy lay dead in a pool of blood near to one of the gazebos there with blood gushing from two stab wounds on his chest believed to be caused by a spur or a sharp object.


No one has yet to be arrested in direct connection to the incident but another youth was arrested by police near to the scene for posession of a knife in public.


The Kuching Waterfront, although a nice place for family and tourists to visit has been marred with the presence of unruly youths loitering the area and creating unpleasant scenes at times by drinking liquors, sniffing glue and also involved in immoral activities.


Although there has been numerous calls for something to be done to clear the mess and unsightly activities in the area but somehow the authorities, as always the case, are quite slow to react, until or unless something like this happens. When will we all learn?
