When the going gets tough..

This thug meant serious business
He has no respect for people and even wanted to clobber the female photog

I've been lugging the camera as a means to earn my daily bread for 17 years. The first five years was intense. Not as I would imagine these days with the turn of events and our political climate. Yesterday, I got news that a few Chinese Daily photogs were walloped by thugs at the Mahkota Cheras - Cheras-Kajang highway intersection.

In my humble opinion - violence begets violence. You reap the seeds you sow. But with the pressure to get the most out of a situation at conflict areas, I feel bad for the front-liners like photogs who usually take the shelling first. See the pix and you'll know what I mean..
