My wife said one of my neighbors brought back my motor cycle and my purse with RM 1,400 (pension)  was stolen. I kept the money in my purse, the impact broke two back-mud-guards, it dislodged a carrier-box,and a rain coat was stolen.

Then some one from the scene phone for ambulance.

I was unconscious while  I was lying on the road. I do not know how I was carried into the ambulance. When I reached the hospital's operation theater I could vaugly remember the doctor telling me that my right thumb and the first finger was dislodged from the finger joints.

All the while my wife was at my bed-side cleaning, clothing , bathing and feeding me when I was in the hospital. Lots of my relatives and few friends visited me at the hospital.

My fifth brother M.Shanthramohana would travel from Kulim, Kedah to see me in the hospital where  was warded for three days. I became fully conscious on the last day in the hospital.

On the fifth day I went too the Taiping Police Station with Vijendran. Itold in the report how I met with the accident.

The police said the car owner who knock me down said  I crossed the road at Post Office junction and he hit me. This was a great lie. I was travelling all the while on trunk road Jalan Kamunting and was on my way to coach two athletes at Garrison Field.

take up the case.

So far no news was received from Varpal.

Hopping that the case would me on my favour.
