Hi all
I was totally appalled and disgusted with the behaviour of two school boys that I decided to record this incident. Just to get it out of my system too.
Today at about 2pm, I was at Park Mall and i visited the washroom which was near the entrance towards the fish & co. It was quite empty inside the toilet except for one occupied cubicle. While I was inside the cubicle, two persons took the two cubicles to my left and right. Once they shut the door, I heard the jingling of coins. And this sound was very obvious that the persons were trying to dig out the coins from the donation bags.
Prior to that, I noticed that many school pupils were selling flags and it was for Children Society. So when I finished my business in the cubicle i got out and waited outside for the boys to come out. I waited nearly ten minutes before they finally emerged. When they did, one of them had the cheek to ask me if I would like to donate!
Immediately i said, "No because you will be digging out my money from the bag!" I can see that he was taken aback and the two boys then proceeded away from me quickly. I walked after them and said that I will be calling their school and the police and my parting words to them was HOW COULD YOU TAKE FROM THE POOR!
I followed them to the road and stood and glared at them. What I noticed was that they were wearing white shirt and dark blue pants. I tried to recognise the school logo on the white shirt but alas I could not. I felt quite helpless as I wish i could have called an authority to report this blatant act of dishonesty!
When i got home, i emailed the person in charge of this flag day activity and told them the story which i am narrating here. To think that there are people who take on the kind act of doing charity and yet steal from the poor. Leave me to think what kind of society are we living in and what future generation are we breeding? To think that these boys are our future leaders? that is a mockery!
I am not hopeful that the children society can trace these boys because sadly i was not able to get their names.
Just a lousy day to have witness such dishonesty in a new year!
