Unfortunately for the young primary school boy, the memory of being accused of stealing will always remain and sadly, its painful damage is never reconciled. Nothing significant – physically – cropped up due to the accusation and the following commotation except a few exchange of harsh words and pented-up angry emotions.The boy was accused of pocketing a ‘tepung bungkus’ and quietly sneaking out of the shop but in actual, he had rushed out to ease himself. In his defence, the boy emptied his pockets, dragged the shop owner to confirm his accusation. It was too late to undo the damage!
