Good riddance.
Be careful. There are one billion Ah Tiongs that can hunt you down. You won't be able to run road from them.
Oh no, that poor boy. Probably not even two years old.
Did the boy grabbed on to the handrail out of fear or because one of his finger was caught. If it is the former, then it is a very interesting display of the behaviour of someone who is of limited experience or naive. They will choose to cling on to the prevailing situation because that is all they know and think that it is safe, without realising that it will lead to a deadly fall. Very similar to our current situation.
Good riddance.

TS says thank you for politicizing this thread
My apology to you and TS for politicizing it unintentionally. Only realised after reading your feedback. Really no intention to do so. I was just puzzled why the boy held on to the handrail instead of letting go. Then I reflected on my own reactions to situations that I was not familiar with, for example, like holding on to a job that I was not happy with - simply because I felt safer. Finally I decided to let go but my friends held on. At the end, they were worst off because I was compensated for leaving voluntarily but they were forced to leave subsequently. The situation was kind of similar to that faced by the poor kid. The main difference is he has very short time to decided. I am sure his reaction will be totally different if he has experienced same situation before. Experience count.
...and allowed to run wild without parental supervision.
Agreed that the parents have failed. Unfortunately, they don't follow the saying that "children must be seen, not heard". I still can't get over the silly things that we may do in a crisis.Seeing that video really sends chills to my spine. I have 2 boys, and its conceivable that one day the younger one will chase after the older brother just like that. I usually let my boys roam around with a watchful eye in the distance. Where are the PARENTS!
Don't blame the mall, blame the parents who didn't supervise their brats.
Most parents don't really know what safety is all about with the responsibilities of being a parent.
A few days back, I saw a small Malay boy and her younger sister trying to climb over a fence right under the overhead bridge just to cross over the road.
The small boy took the lead and her younger sister "monkey see monkey do" and follow his act.
Small kids always follow what their elder brothers and sister and this is the main cause of several accidents.
I was really worried about them as the traffic can be quite busy on that road.
A lot of parents neglected the safety of their kids and left them running around without keeping their eyes on them.
