Election

Some of the Chinese in the old days always stay together as organization. They created this pack, and work hard in it to form a party that profits each other. They will protect each other. At times, there would be a couple of other organizations in the same area. The dog eat dog situation was already constituted back then.


Some of the organizations live long enough to spawn their hereditary. Some made new ones.


Nowadays they call it triads.


Even the founder of Kuala Lumpur, Yap Ah Loy was in the triads. One of the reason why he is not really being acknowledged much besides a few mentions in the history text book. None of his generation really had the recognition that he built Kuala Lumpur out of some quarry mines.


In these modern days, not only Chinese are in the triads. As we are of multiracial community, the triads has gone multiracial too.


Up where I live, there is this community, the Soldiers I call them. Young professionals paying entrance fee. They think they would be great if they join a gang, and could use that little power to show off a little.


Little did they know that they have to lose sleep because when the gang calls you up wee in the morning to beat people up or collect some fee, you cannot say no. The worst is because of their background of young professionals, they would not know some of the people they beat up. They have no idea who their enemy is. When they are not in the gang, usually they will be hit by karma.


I never believed in the more people the stronger they are. People's determination or their level of craziness are not something we could measure at times. For all you know, it just take one friendly looking person to come up and stab you with a thin and long hollow pipe, and you watch your blood falls out like wine.


The gang would be growing, but why it wasn't publicised and stopped? Well how can you stop a gang, when the government and authorities are involved in it. It's a gray area. Not black nor white.
