Dear friends,
I've just heard from a good buddy that he got robbed last night. He had parked his car in the car park under the flyover and gone for a drink at the PJ Hilton. As he was returning to his car, he was ambushed by three Indonesians brandishing a large knife.
Left with no choice, the unfortunate dude gave up his wallet complete with his IC, driving license, credit cards and RM400 inside. He had the presence of mind to pretend to plead for RM50 as cabfare to go home in a bid to save his car from being taken. The robbers slashed his throat for his efforts.
Thank god they ran away after that and my friend managed to seek medical help. Luckily for him it turned out that the slash wound was not life-threatening. He's now recuperating at home.
So dear friends - we all know we live in dangerous times when criminals are desperate and, more importantly, completely merciless. Remember the recent case in Bahau where the 98-year-old grandma was slashed and beaten to death for a crummy RM10 and a pair of earrings?
Please do not take your safety for granted. And please do not think that you won't be attacked if you're a macho male. My friend was no wimp or wussy either, but he did the smart thing and lived to see another day.
After all, you can always find another RM400 and reapplying for your documents is a minor inconvenience at worst.
Please, please be careful and be aware of your surroundings and movements.
I really hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'd hate it even more if inaction on my part resulted in someone getting hurt.
Right on the heels of one friend getting robbed and slashed recently, another friend tells me this incident happened to his brother, Deen, yesterday :
Deen walked across the parking lot at Bangsar, unlocked his car and got inside. He locked all the doors, started the engine and shifted into REVERSE, and looked into the rear-view mirror to back out of the parking space, only to find a newspaper stuck to the rear window, blocking his view. So, he shifted into PARK, left his engine running, unlocked his door and got out of his car to remove the paper obstructing his view.
When he reached the back of his car, the 2 car-jackers appeared as if out of nowhere, jumped into his car and took off, practically mowing him down as they sped off in his car.
Now comes the scary part - if you were a woman, you probably would have left your purse/handbag on the passenger seat of the car. You don't need me to remind you that it contains your identification, and you certainly do not want these guys getting your home address - they already have your keys! Not to mention your ATM cards, your handphone, and etc. BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.
Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window later, in a safe environment. Use your wing mirrors if necessary.
I normally do not encourage chain mail, but I do hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to the women in your life.
