Even more weirdos—and this time it's much closer to home. I grew up in the Nosoob and Kobusak neighbourhood. And then I spent some more years living in Koidupan. I can still remember vast tracts of land for paddy cultivation. And they used to employ the karabau to plough the lands. But now one can hardly see anymore lands for paddy fields in the area. Most of them have been developed with housing estates; shophouses and apartments.
Very few of the modern Kadazans are willing to work in a paddy field. In fact, many Kadazans can't even remember how to do it right! I once asked my step-mother how many sacks of paddy one can yield, on average, from an acre of paddy field, and she couldn't answer the question.
As the years gone by, the people have also changed. They are getting more sophisticated these days. Life is so much more complicated than those good old days.
Crime has also come a long way. Nowadays, it's no longer fun and challenging to steal money and jewelleries. No—now we want to steal panties—women's used panties. And it's not just crawling in the dark at night, grabbing panties hung on clothes lines. There is no fun in that. We want to disguise ourselves as businessmen, distributing flyers and business cards in order to gain access into the victims' premises. It's hard to imagine how, then, was it possible to steal the panties, but by adopting such modus operandi this guy managed to steal up to over 70 panties before the long arms of the law caught up with him!
Weird items for collection... but, people, y'know. He kept some of his prized collections in his car; and the rest under some staircase. Imagine if he was not caught, and he was able to steal some more panties. Storage would have been quite a problem for the psycho, huh?
Now I have exhausted my imagination, trying to fathom the mind of the so-called panty-raider. Perhaps some of you would care to enlighten me on what he'd do with his collections?
