The victims of this outrageousness cannot really be blamed for the lost of their possessions after all. The valuables were kept in the drawers of their rooms. Their rooms were thoroughly ransacked and searched. Isn't this a scary thought? What you thought was the safest place to keep your stuff is now open for taking. Are our possessions not safe anymore? Do we need to go beyond locking our rooms and chalets to keeping a ferocious guard dog to safeguard our belongings?

Now, the infamous question in any crime… "Whodunnit?" Well, certainly not the butler! But rest assured (if this is any assurance at all!), gentle folk of KMYS, that the culprit is among us. No, it was not a stranger from KL or Tanjung Malim who sneaked into the college at the dead of the night to whisk away what is ours. The person who did it, is someone we trust and probably someone close to us. He or she lives with us, eats with us and works together with us in class. He or she smiles and jokes with us, comforts us when we are unhappy and at the same time, eyes our wallets and purses as well as our mobile phones. You would never suspect or even think that he or she did it, because of the seemingly naive way we trust our supposedly close-knit family here. Certainly, our trust is not justified.

It is sad that such a thing is happening here, among the top scholars of Malaysia, the children of wonderful homes and a cultured society. But as reality is sometimes hard to choke down, there is no denying this. A word of advice to KMYSians: Beware the wolf in sheepskin. Be wary of whom you place your trust. And as for the wolf, watch out, as your time is almost up.
