Today, my family and I went to Midvalley Megamall. All of us went except for Inaayah. It would be too tedious and tiring for a baby.
We arrived there at about 3:40 and parked at the basement of The Garden; a neigbouring shopping mall of Midvalley.
We went to Coach (window shopping only), Massimo Dutti, Dockers, Calvin Klein (Babah wanted to buy a denim jacket for Haikal but he didn't want it ~ crazy!!), MPH (wohoo, I've - Mama actually - bought lots of new novels), Baskin Robbins and Hush Puppies. Mama was searching for a sturdy boots for her conference (or somewhat like that) at Canada. We found a pair of GORGEOUS boots. Unfortunately, there were no available size for Mama. We then stopped to pray Asar at 6:45.After that, we went to have an early dinner. The lucky restaurant tonight was The Chicken Rice Shop. It was quite fulfilling but the waiter needed to increase his customer's servicing. After we emptied our plates we prayed Maghrib and continued shopping again! We stopped at Zara but the boots were made with pig lining. We also stopped at the Travellers Universe (I think that was its name) and bought leather glove, wool stoking, mufflers and a shirt for Mama. Wan Han jewellery store's 70% discount banner did not missed from my father's attention. We spent almost an hour there choosing a beautiful Y shaped necklace for Mama. The pendant and the chain were sold seperately. After a lot of discount and bargains made between Babah and the shopkeeper, they both settled at RM3000.00 on both items. We got a free pearl necklace and LOTS of chocolate mints. Yumm! Our last stop was at the Clarks. And thankfully we found a nice brown boots for Mama.
At 10:00 o'clock we were ready to head home. And this is where the climax of the day happened:
*****
At the basement, we stopped at the car park ticket payment counter. Babah was just paying the fees when there was a pained shout coming from the escalator. Of course it caught all of our attention. Apparently a boy (5-7 of age) hit a woman (Chinese) with a push chair. At first I thought the boy was her son. When they stepped off of the escalator and the woman began inspecting her leg, another woman (a Malay) came towards them. The Chinese woman demanded an apology from the boy's mother. I realized then the boy and the Chinese were not related although the boy looked European or American. Maybe the father is an expectorate.
The Malay woman ignored her and took the boy and began HITTING him furiously!!! She hit and hit him. Hard. Seriously. I and all other people there were stunned (that's an understatement). The Chinese woman was paralyzed and just gaped at the woman. AND THEN - THE MOTHER PULLED HER SONS HAIR IN DEEP LOCKS AND SHOOK HIM VIOLENTLY!!!! She did not say or scream anthing - just coldly abused her son in PUBLIC!!!! The boy screamed in pain while his MOTHER just angrily pulled at him. Like when you wash your clothes against a wooden board; up, down, up, down. Mama and Babah broke from their shock and she went to the woman to try to stop her while Babah shouted at her. Before Mama could put a stop, the woman abruptly stopped and took the pushchair and walked away without a single glance to others. She did not even apologized to the other woman and left her son there crying. And then, the boy's maid (and nanny) came to him and hugged him at her side while looking very angry at the ANIMAL'S back. No wait even animals DO NOT do that to their youngs. Saying she's an animal would be an insult to them. She's an abuser. The world would be a better place without people like her.
Anyway, after she went away, everyone looked at each other with either angry, scared or stunned expression pasted on their faces. A security guard came; I think the cashiers behind the counter called him. Well, he arrived too late but the did inspect and talked to the victim. Her left toe was bleeding and it seemed to me she was very upset that the woman did not apologized and made quite a big deal of her injured toe. The security guard took the woman to her car with his motorcycle. We were still in shocked even until now and talked about the incident all the way back home.
I can't imagine why a mother would do such a thing to her child. We worried of what will happen to the boy in private. God, the thought makes my stomach squeeze painfully and makes me turn cold with fear. I wonder what will happen to the boy when he grow up. Will he become like his mother or will he turn into his shell and seperate from others or involve himself in some bad things. Oh, God. And he has a little brother one or two year old. Hopefully, the woman will be stopped before the little one will be victimized also and before the abusing goes to far. I hope they will have a brighter future and be good great people.
The woman's action still rolls in my mind like a little video. You know, she reminded me of another woman back at Larkin Mall, Johor Bahru. My parents and I and Iliya went there to buy new kebaya for Pak Ucu's wedding. While my parents were talking to this salesperson about some sort of a health drink, I saw this woman (a Malay too - but she wore scarf and did wore sexy outfit like the above woman) scolding and hitting her son in the same way as the other one. The boy managed to broke away from her and started to run away. She literally chased after him and caught him at a corner and began hitting him again. The father was no different; he also hit his son but the younger one. Again, in public!
Seriously people!!! If you don't have the materials of making a good parent, then don't get any children!!!! Or better yet, don't marry!! You may just abuse your spouses instead. Just alienate yourself or sent yourself to a rehabilating centre. It may help you to change into a better person. Maybe not perfect but better. People like you only achieve of making this world a dangerous and bitter place. You may be the reason why others turn abusive or violent!!
I know some people become what they are today due to their background history. Maybe they were being abused in the past. Well, guys you are NO different from them. Coz you know -you do exactly what they did to you. I bet you like that.
I'm all worked up here. *breathing heavily*
I've been reading websites on where there are articles on child abuse. God, it is SO SICK. Surely these people will burn in hell. I DO NOT know what things are going inside their FRICKING minds!!!!!! I've also read this article about this man and his 16 year old son raped a 20 month old baby!!!!!! And where this man married his 8 year old daughter to a 58 year old for the sake of money!! *swearing profusely*
I REALLY hope this kind of people will realise what they're doing is just plain WRONG AND SICKENING AND INHUMANE!!!!!
