Crank Callers

Crank Callers

A friend of mine received an amusing crank telephone call from a number in Kajang (+603-8733 2143) at 10 pm (well, 21:58:59 to be exact) last night from someone who claims to be "Rosli" asking for "Azzmy."

Other (possibly unrelated) crank callers and their accomplices have been making numerous threatening, abusive and slanderous calls and SMSes (text messages) ~ even in the wee hours of the morning ~ for the past few months. The powers-that-be know the main perpetrator's identity. They even know he trespassed another friend's house and scratched her Suzuki, had been stalking her, harassing her and drives round her house. He has even gone to make a nuisance of himself at her mother's house, weeping in tears. Before you jump to the conclusion that he is a typical wussy, a pathetic wimp, do consider the following.

The problem is that this crank caller is mentally disordered and from the ramblings in his speech and abusive SMSes, he is self-evidently schizopheric and delusional.

From what evidence we have gathered, he appears to suffer from bipolar affective disorder but is undiagnosed, untreated and unmedicated. His angst appears to be derived from a failed relationship and from jealousy. The object of his desire has had enough of his emotional instability and abusive behaviour. She broke off with him on January 4, 2004 but he still can't accept that he's history and move on with his life. She had forgiven him then for all his sins towards her and moved on with her life. See The Final Goodbye: Farewell message to an ex-boyfriend.

He is in self-denial, not being able to accept that he is no longer loved and that his former beau does not want to have anything to do with him anymore. He can go commit suicide for all she cares. She is beyond caring.

I pray that Allah destroys his anger and cures him of his illness. I suggest he seeks psychiatric help as soon as possible before he poses a danger to others and/or to himself. He can go to the walk-in clinic at any psychiatric department in any general hospital without an appointment and seek urgent treatment.

The authorities know your identity, have your description, know who you have been talking to in the media and also your handphone number. We know where you live, what cars you drive. It's a pity you don't realise you're only making a fool of yourself. Everyone who knows you, your friends, your office colleagues, your business partners and associates, all think you're "crazy."

If any of my friends and I are in the slightest danger, not only will the full force of the law come down bearing on you, but also the wrath of Allah, for the All Mighty has promised:

Innama alssabeelu AAala allatheena yathlimoona alnnasa wayabghoona fee alardi bighayri alhaqqi olaika lahum AAathabun aleemun

Comment from Chris:

Take care, be watchful always and let wisdom defeat the crank calls, don't give in to anger, don't give anger a chance.

God bless you!

Hello Chris

People who exhibit anger, despite all their machismo, are really cowards. If he really is so brave and courageous, do you think he'd harass a lady like this? Surely, he'd have the guts to go for someone his own size.

If he was so brave, why didn't he confront me when he had the chance, when he saw me with Precious?

It takes some knowledge of psychopathology to understand him and the delusional and irrational thoughts going through his mind. Letting him know that we know what he didn't expect us to know about him will unsettle him. He will feel exposed. Cause him to lose some sleep --> serotonin deprivation --> further his downward spiral --> loss of appetite --> loss of weight and tremors (due to mild hypoglycemia) and eventually his psyche will be exhausted and he goes into depression and he will be no threat anymore as he will not have the energy to do anythinh harmful, even to himself. He'll just sleep for the next six to eight weeks while his body tries to re-adjust his neutro-transmitter imbalance. His obsessive behavour towards Precious is indicative of dopamine addiction.

In the past, when he is in depression, as Precious tells me, he will disappear out of her life for a few months and then when he's better, will come back into her life as if nothing's happened. This is the period when he is lethargic and sleeps a lot. I don't think he gets suicidal when he is depressed because he prays five times a day. Also, he has no history of self-injury or suicide attempts; or else Precious would know (slashed wrists are not too difficult to notice). Besides, people who are predisposed to suicide would have tried it much earlier in life (he is in his late thirties) and are usually successful by their third attempt, even if the first two are desperate cries for attention (as all suicide attempts usually are).

He doesn't even have a history of swallowing OTC medications to kill himself. I think he has too much of a sense of responsibility towards his widowed mother to leave her alone in the world, knowing that his siblings have all but disowned her.

My treatment plan for him is to encourage this downward spiral to the point that he "snaps" and does something stupid enough to be forced to get psychiatric help. For example, he has thrown a glass of teh tarik into a friend's face when the friend unwittingly asked him about Precious. He also has a history of road rage.

Usually, the victim of transference are the easy targets, targets close by and handy. A good example is the child angry at his father but kicks the cat instead. Because the child has no courage to go hit his father, he kicks the hapless cat to relieve his anger. So his mother may be the victim of his transference, his business partner Simon or any of his many stewardess and florist girlfriends. If any one of them cares about him enough, they will force him to seek treatment. Of course, his mother is in denial about his illness, so I don't expect she'd seek help for him. If Simon thinks their business would be adversely affected (and you know how Chinamen are so concerned about thir money!) by his dysfunctional behaviour, he should get him hospitalised. It would be a good investment, if only to save the business.

I'll leave it all in God's hands as He know best. Perhaps God wants to teach him something. As you know, the trials and tribulations always come first, the lessons later.
