Btw, theres nothing wrong in snatching the item from your parents as long as you don't use it on them...
It's stupid in a general way if you are involved in a one-sided confrontation with an ah beng lah but in this case it's parents. I think that we are expected to endure the so called "torture" as it is a form of punishment. Personally, I would think just snatching the item from your parents is a form of rebellion and rebellion against your parents would be some kind of unfillialness.
Parents have a natural authority over us and they are probably given the "right" to punish us but the punishments have to be appropriate. If you are just late for school for one day, it wouldn't be right for them to take a golf club and hantam you to death.
An example or analogy to show, would you grab the cane if you were sentence to caning in prison? Or would you cut the rope and throw it away if you were sentenced to hanging by court?
Just my few cents worth of shieet..
