English cyclist Greg Browning was on a grandscale cycling trip from London to Sydney, almost 30,000km when his bike got stolen at an Orchard Road shopping mall. He was shocked because as he says:
‘My first reaction was of disbelief. I’ve been in so many countries where people said I would get robbed, and then this happened in Singapore, which I was told was one of the safest places in the world.’
This truly brings home the message by our local police: “Low crime doesn’t mean no crime.”
Sorry mate. I hope some marketing department from a local bicycle company chances upon your story and offers you a free bike, in exchange for some feelgood publicity. If that doesn’t happen, you can always buy a 2-wheeler from Carrefour.
