SUNGAI CHOH (8) : Once Upon A Time | No Harm Done

Once Upon A Time
(Pouring More Salt In The Wounds)

Our grandchildren nowadays are well guarded. Even an inch of a movement will be reported. Not a glance they can escape from the eyes of their parents. Sad to say, their parents are always on alert in whatever time and condition. So is their children are subjected to anything harmful, either molested or kidnapped. Even stories from medias are too frightening, but nothing more than  pouring more salt in the wounds.

Whatever,  the sacred word of  "freedom" is now losing its meaning. Just a word of alphabets without any value. Might be their Atuk was born under a lucky star. That's the story of Kampung Sungai Choh, especially in the late 50s. To us freedom meant we could play and explore anywhere. That's why not even a corner would miss  our grips, and not even a surface would lose our trails. So no harm done, whatever.

Even our parents have no idea at all about molestation or kidnap. These words were not in our vocabulary back then,  and totally absent in their minds and even in their daily talks. So there was nothing to worry. For sure we would be home safe and sound, when our stomachs made hungry rhythms or when the night curtain was gradually covering the last rays of  twilight.
