Robbers turn on bus driver when he steps to the rescue.

Two robbers, pretending to be passengers, boarded SBS Transit Service 160 at the Kotaraya Terminal in Johor Baru on Tuesday. But just as the bus neared the Malaysian Customs Checkpoints at about 3.45p.m., the two robbers decided that it was time to act. The duo whipped out parangs and attempted to rob a middle-aged Chinese woman passenger. Frightened by the thought that the robbers would harm her, she shouted for help. Upon hearing this, the bus driver immediately slammed on the brakes. He turned round and warned the two robbers, believed to be in their 30's, to halt what they were doing. However, his act of heroism infuriated the robbers, making them turn on him instead. They took his wallet which contained RM$260 ($108) and $40. Not content, the two robbers allegedly slashed him several times on the arm and shoulder before fleeing on foot. The bus driver sustained a deep gash on his left wrist and a fracture. He was treated at a nearby hospital and his condition is now stable. The Malaysian police confirmed the incident and are now already in the process of identifying suspects. From this incident, we can derive the fact that money is in fact, the root of all evil. If it were not for the money, those two robbers would not have done such a criminal act. It is also because of money, that people have become bolder in their actions, robbing jewellery stalls or even large banks. With money, comes the point of a limit. Do rich people have a limit in which they feel that they have enough money for the rest of their lives and wants to retire? Only the minority feels that way. Majority of people wants now, is to earn more money. A million is never enough, ten million? They still want more. They only think of themselves, and how they themselves can enjoy the luxuries that money brings, never sparing a thought for those less fortunate people somewhere out there in the world, who thank god even if they manage to find a dead bird which they can eat. If those rich misers would even care to donate a portion of their money out to help these less fortunate people, the world would become a more wonderful and heart-warming one. So, money is in fact, not the key to happiness, but the key to greed, selfishness and destruction.
