Platform 1932

6. PLATFORM 1932
Nawwar Syahirah | English | 23 mins | Singapore

Once grand, the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station now fades away in the eyes of Singaporean society. But, it remains significant to a ‘community’ of diverse individuals, linked by a shared desire to preserve their own ways of life in this shared space between Singapore and Malaysia. Also, without the existence of the station, each of their life stories would be incomplete.

Platform 1932 unravels the issues of time and progression, pride and acceptance, modernization and legacy through the medley of individual stories. These interwoven memories tell how the station has managed to survive modernization, and more critically, continue to play an understated role in the relationship between two countries.

Penumbuk Wajih melayang ke arah Hani. Dek sudah menyangka perkara ini akan berlaku, Hani sempat mengelak. Penumbuk Wajih terkena tubir mata Hani tetapi lebih tersasar dan mendarat di jenang pintu. Teringat kata-kata Tina, penumbuk sulung Hani mendarat pada rusuk kanan Wajih. Tertunduk-tunduk Wajih memegang rusuknya.

Kepala Nadira pula menghentam dinding konkrit dan suasana dirasakan kelam, lalu bertukar gelap.

Pemuda itu telah nekad benar mahu menetak batang leher menteri. Mata parang telah diangkat tinggi. Tinggal masa untuk dihayunkan sahaja ke wajahnya.

Situasi begitu membuatkan akalnya yang selama ini bijak mencipta retorik, gagal berfungsi untuk memikirkan jalan keluar bagi menyelamatkan diri.

Harapnya tiada apa yang buruk terjadi.

Dengan sekali libas, tangan kanan aku menepis muka Zen Zakaria. Lutut kiri aku maju ke dadanya. Sedetik kemudian Zen Zakaria merasa tumbukan kiri yang kuat singgah ke mukanya. Dia terpelanting.

Husin melontar kapaknya ke arah lelaki itu. Berpusing-pusing melayang dan terpacak tepat mata kapak di atas dahi. Darah memancut. Lelaki itu rebah ke bumi. Husin cuba keluar dari bilik itu, tetapi dihalang oleh empat lelaki bersenjata. Laksana boomerang, Husin melempar sebilah lagi kapaknya. Kapak itu berputar lalu mencantas leher keempat-empat lelaki tersebut. Kapak melayang kembali ke tangan Husin. Empat badan rebah, empat kepala bergolek.

Li mengepal sekemas-kemas tangan dan menumbuk perut lawannya sekuat hati. Tanpa memberi peluang lawan bertahan, dia terus menumbuk bertubi-tubi bahagian kiri dan kanan rusuk. Li menepis tangan lawannya membuka ruang melancarkan buah pukul. Rasa sakit tulang tangan berlaga dengan tulang hidung tidak diendah. Bersepai darah memercik dari hidung dan mulut lawannya. Aripin semacam terpinga-pinga, tidak berkata apa-apa.
