When people are travelling, the number one priority is often safety while others prefer to be a walking ATM.
A netizen shared his concerns about travelling with a friend that insist on wearing his branded items to Johor Bahru.
Here is the story:
Thanks for accepting my submission. To make it clear, I’m a Malaysian that has been working in Singapore for over 10 years and most of my close friends are Singaporeans.
My colleague and I planned a 1 night trip to Johor and he told me to meet at his house before driving in. While I was drinking coffee at his home, he was preparing to change clothes for the trip.
I noticed he put on his Rolex and gold chain and I told him not to wear them to Johor. I’m a local johorian, even my 30-year-old Toyota has a steering wheel lock and he is wearing this that could make us a target.
He insisted on wearing them as he wanted to attract easy gold digger girls for a “good night”. I told him not to as it might bring unnecessary danger to us. But he die die want to wear, So I told him good luck and let him be.
After we arrived in Johor and check-in at a hotel, he started to doubt himself as he realised that a lot of people were staring at him shortly after he left his vehicle.
He then started to be scared as we have plans to go out for a drinks tonight, he finally removed the gold chain and rolex and placed them in a hidden compartment of his luggage.
My moral of the story is, even for local johor people we do not wear like this when going out so please remember sometimes safety is more important than how you look.
