Carjacked near Tropicana
25/8/13
posted by Leeyiung Chou
After putting a ten-dollar bill into my wallet, i grabbed my groceries and walked towards my car. It was a Sunday afternoon (to be exact, Aug 24, around 1pm), shoppers from the neighbourhood gather here to run their weekly errands. The popularity of the grocery store (initials: JG, near tropicana golf club) could be seen from the number of cars parked in front of it. Some customers including me had to leave our cars by the curb below the slope because the designated parking lots were occupied.
I opened the passenger's car door and before I could chuck anything into the car, someone held both of my arms. I immediately turned around and asked " buat apa?" or what do you want. It was a fairly plump Malay fellow in his 30s who asked me to pay him money. "for what?" i asked. Another male, Indian, dressed up smartly with a white long sleeved shirt and a pair of black pants came walking towards us while holding a walkie talkie. He said "you parking sini perlu bayar!" if you parked your car here, you have to pay us. It did not make any sense to me because every other time I parked my car there, i never had to pay any money to anyone and the malay fellow was still grabbing my arm. And then I had the notion that he was trying to push me into the car.
Within a split second of thought, I shouted help repeatedly at the top of my lungs. It was the freakiest moment of my life. While resisting and doing anything I could to stop them from pushing me into the car including punching the fat guy in front of me, one of them grabbed my neck. While the fight was going on, I heard people shouting and cars honking (thanks people!). Before the other shoppers could run over and help, the robbers cum potential kidnappers snatched the car key, pushed me away and quickly hopped into the car. And then I saw one of them ignited the engine. Subconsciously, I thought I should stop them from getting away and so I got hold of the car door firmly and prayed that someone could do something, anything. But it was just a meager effort. Three big-sized fellows escaped with my car.
It was a great relief that I was not abducted and that I only got bruises and no major injuries. Before they got away, I noticed there was a light green colored car that was parked right behind my car which disappeared after the whole episode of car snatching incident. I also noticed that this gang of people did not even bother to cover their face. It's either because they did not want to raise any suspicions or they did not expect me to have escaped the attempted kidnapping. It was a well planned out, near perfect activity!
After this incident, I realized that you are on your own when things like this happen to you, many people would just stand there and stare, only a few good samaritans would actually help you even if they do not know you. Before you approach your car, remember to look around and be alert of any suspicious people lurking around. Things like this can happen anywhere, anytime of the day and to anyone. It's very important to stay calm and come up with the best solution using the resources around you. And most importantly, learn some self defense arts, trust me, your limbs could be your only weapons in this kind of situations.

In Subang condo, ban against ‘African’ tenants
The Malay Mail Online 26/8/13
PETALING JAYA, Aug 26 — “African” tenants at a Bandar Sri Subang condominium here have three months to vacate their units after the building’s management slapped an unprecedented occupancy ban on them last week.
The decision came after the majority of Ridzuan Condominium residents voted in an annual general meeting (AGM) held on July 6 against renting their units to foreigners from the continent, whom they allege to have “caused a lot of nuisance”.
The Malay Mail Online sighted a copy of the memo circulated to Ridzuan residents explaining the ban, which has also been making the rounds online through Facebook.
“We refer to the above matter without prejudice and without malice,” the memo dated August 19 started.
“As a result of the decision held in the AGM on 6th July 2013, the majority of the residents voted in the AGM to not letting their units for rental to Africans any more.”
According to the memo, the presence of Africans has created “a lot of nuisance and problems to the community”, which in turn has driven down the property value of units there.
It further asserts that owners have found it difficult to rent out or sell their units to other prospective customers due to the alleged situation.
“It was also resolved during the AGM that any resident who has an African tenant is to cancel the rental and to vacate them from their units within three (3) months from the date of this letter,” it added.
It did not, however, specify the course of action — if any — that would be taken by the management should an owner or African tenant fail to comply.
It was also unclear how they plan to enforce the ban, with the only criterion being “African”.
The circular neglected to specify if this ban will apply along the lines of ethnicity or nationality, nor does it mention who would be the final arbiter should any party dispute the “African” label.
The memo was signed by a Jerry Low Boon Chay, who was named as chairman of Joint Management Body (JMB) of Ridzuan Condominium.
A member of the JMB, who refused to be named, confirmed the authenticity of the memo to The Malay Mail Online through a phone call last week, and admitted to sending the memo to residents on behalf of Low.
During a subsequent visit to the condominium on Saturday, The Malay Mail Online discovered the same memo affixed to a notice board within the grounds of the property.
Ridzuan is a 14-year-old condominium situated near the PJS10 lake park, with units from 590-sq ft; rental starts from RM1,300 a month.
Situated near a number of private tertiary institutions such as Sunway University, Taylor’s University, the Malaysian campus of Monash University, and INTI International University, Ridzuan has been home to mostly Malaysian students since 2002.
None of the aforementioned institutions are within walking distance to the condominium, and students commute via shuttle buses provided by their schools or drive their own cars, contributing to daily traffic congestion around the area.
The condominium is, however, some 15 minutes’ walk away from popular shopping mall Sunway Pyramid and close to the Sunway Mentari business area, which provides students access to entertainment and nightlife.
Property website PropWall has reported that Ridzuan frequently suffers from petty crimes due to lax security, while its previous management had also been embroiled in a recent financial fraud case.
The ban may be the first attempt of its kind reported in Malaysia after years of alleged discrimination and hostility towards the oft-maligned African community, including in mainstream media.
Despite being a continent of 54 countries with diverse and distinct ethnicities, cultures, languages and societies, its migrants are commonly pigeonholed using the “African” catchall, while the derogatory label “Awang Hitam” (literally, Black Fellow) is also used by Malay-language dailies in reference to their dominant skin colour.
The negative perception towards African migrants in Malaysia is believed to stem from the frequency of cases of drug smuggling, financial scams, frauds and sex crimes reportedly involving the group.
But it is also not a local stereotype. The ubiquity of online confidence tricks involving Nigerians, in particular, saw the global law enforcement community dub such swindles as the “Nigerian 419 scam”, with 419 being a reference to the country’s Criminal Code for fraud.
Malaysia’s Immigration Department reported that a total of 79,352 Africans entered the country last year.
The department also issued 25,467 student visas to Africans in 2012 to study in public or private institutions.

Snatch Thieves are Cops!
Alfian ZM Tahir and G Vinod
FMT August 26, 2013
Despite lodging a police report on the matter on July 3, B Saravanan claims that the police have yet to take action against the errant police officers.
PETALING JAYA: A lorry driver lodged a police report last month claiming that one of the snatch thieves he caught red handed was none other than a police officer.
In the report lodged at the Petaling Jaya district police headquarters on July 3, B Saravanan, 27, said that he was going out to lunch outside his office at Taman Mayang Jaya on that day, when he saw two men on a motorcycle trying to snatch a gold necklace from a foreign national.
“It was about 12 pm. I was going for lunch when I saw the thieves on a Yamaha LC bike attempting to snatch a necklace from an Indonesian lady.
“I immediately drove to the scene and rammed my car on their motorcycle, causing the duo to fall on the street,” said Saravanan.
He said that he got down from his car to face the thieves, getting into a scuffle with them. Unfortunately, the perpetrators overwhelmed him and even manage to snatch his gold chain.
Adding that he tried his level best to apprehend them, Saravanan decided to back off as one started throwing stones at his car while the other threatened him with a knife.
Saravanan subsequently called up the police, who later arrived at the area to take pictures of the crime scene.
Suspects turn out to be policemen
“At 1pm, one Corporal Zamrus called me up to Kelana Jaya police station, asking my assistance to identify the thieves, which I did about three hours later.
“I managed to identify both men during the identification parade. To my shock, Zamrus told me that one of the suspects was a police officer,” alleged Saravanan in the report.
When contacted today Saravanan said that both suspects were indeed police officers. Saravanan further claimed that the investigating officer, known as Inspector Hasbullah, tried to talk him out of lodging a police report.
“I saw them both walking in and out of the Kelana Jaya police station together. So when I got to know that the suspects were officers from the same station, I decided to lodge the report at the PJ police headquarters instead,” said Saravanan.
He added that he was called to the Kelana Jaya police station for a second time on July 19 for another identification parade.
“I identified them again but after that I received no information from the Kelana Jaya police station on the status of the investigation,” said Saravanan.
However FMT learned today evening that Saravanan has been asked to be present at the Kelana Jaya police station to give a statement later tonight.
No comment from district chief
A police source meanwhile told FMT that he has yet to receive any updates regarding the status of the two police officers.
“I am not sure if they have been transferred to another desk or department or they have been suspended from the force. They are attached to a different police station thus I did not get any updates regarding their status,” the source said.
Meanwhile, Petaling Jaya district police chief, Arjunaidi Mohamed when contacted refused to comment on the matter.
“You have to check with the Selangor police headquarters. I can’t comment on this,” he said briefly.

I couldnt imagine what happen if the stone hots her eyes, And luckily her response are not in lost control when the things happened. When she called me through the phone, i can heard her voice of frighten and scare but no choice have to drive slowly back home to make a further decision. She is not hurt in physically, but mentally annoyed. We do think of making a police report, but due to our previous 2 times of bad experience of the police officer attitude when taking our report (they treated us like we are the criminal), so we decided not to launch the report as you and I would know its a pretty useless action. This share is just to let more people know there are some physco out there in Connaught. I assumed it is lucky to have windscreen slightly tinted whereby our country officer actually takes that as a offenses or a "chances", to me, if we do not protect ourself, who will?

'Agent wants Kidney for Passport'
By NICHOLAS CHENG
nicholascheng@thestar.com.my
PETALING JAYA: A foreign maid has alleged that her agent is demanding RM6,500 or one of her kidneys in exchange for her passport to return home.
P. Jayadevi from Madurai in India is trying to go home after receiving news that her husband is ill but is stuck in Malaysia after the agent went missing with her passport and other travel documents.
“I have begged him to let me go home but he said if I want my passport I must pay RM6,500. He said if I could not find the money, I must sell my kidney to him,” said the 47-year-old mother of three.
Jayadevi also accused the agent of hitting her on several occasions with a belt and withholding her RM2,400 salary.
“He said he would use the money to get a work permit for me but I have been told that it is a fake.
“He has also threatened me, saying that he would push me in front of a train or sell me as a prostitute if I keep asking about my pay,” she said.
Fortunately for her, she was able to contact her family who brought her case to the human rights group, Malaysia Global Rescue Humanity.
Representatives of the group lodged a police report on her behalf at the Sea Park police station here yesterday.
The group’s president, T. Kamalanathan, said the agent, also an Indian national, was well-known for his human trafficking activities and Jayadevi had saved herself by speaking out.
“I have come across several cases involving this man where employees were victimised,” he said, adding that Jayadevi has worked in five different homes since arriving here on Feb 2 and was not paid.
Deputy Petaling Jaya OCPD Supt Fadil Marsus said Jayadevi would be taken to a hospital for treatment while the case was being investigated under Section 323 of the Penal Code.
Meanwhile, a commotion broke out yesterday at the house where Jayadevi was working when the NGO escorted her to the police station.
Her employer argued that they needed her to stay and take care of an ill member of the family, while Kamalanathan chided the employer for hiring Jayadevi from a questionable source.

JOHOR BARU: A 30-YEAR-OLD mechanic was severely injured after he was slashed and shot in an attack by a group of men early yesterday morning.
Johor Baru (North) deputy police chief Superintendent Beh Eng Lai said during the 12.30am incident, the victim was sitting outside his employer's house in Taman Johor in Tampoi, here.

"The victim tried to seek shelter inside his employer's house, but the suspects gave chase and continued attacking him in the living room."
He said one of the suspects was believed to have shot the victim twice while inside the house.
Upon hearing gunshots, the victim's employer rushed to look for the victim.

Three rape Vietnamese worker after robberies
NST 18/8/13
KOTA TINGGI: A Vietnamese woman was abducted and raped by three men impersonating policemen, after they robbed 26 foreign workers at their hostels on Friday night.
Kota Tinggi police chief Superintendent Mohd Nor Rasid said the incident happened at two different locations.
He said the suspects went to the hostel for female foreign workers in Taman Kota Batu 2 here at 10.45pm.
"They demanded the occupants open the door, but the occupants refused to do so."
Mohd Nor said the suspects then became aggressive and broke down the steel gate and the hostel's back door.
"They ordered the women at the hostel to hand over their valuables before proceeding to take the victim and force her into a car."
The victim said that she was brought to a nearby area where she was raped.
The victim was then freed by the suspects at Jalan Air Terjun, about 200 metres from the hostel.
Mohd Nor said the suspects had earlier gone to a hostel housing male foreign workers at Jalan Belinjau in Taman Kota Jaya at 10.15pm and robbed the occupants.
The distance between the two locations is about two kilometres.
"They were pretending to carry out an inspection at the hostel.
"Eleven Nepalese men were ordered to hand over their cash, valuables and mobile phones to the suspects."
He said the operations manager of the factory where the workers were employed had received a call over the incident and alerted the police.
He said the police have mounted a manhunt for the suspects and are urging those with information on the case to come forward to assist in the investigation.
The case is being investigated under Section 395/397 and Section 376 of the Penal Code.

Fed up of reminding the public not to litter, a few quirky road signs have been spotted in Pahang and Terengganu with a more sarcastic message.
The signs also did not mention if one would be slapped with a hefty fine if they were caught red-handed for littering.
Facebook user Ardi Herman Mohd Mardzi posted a photo of a sign that said “Tak rasa bersalah ke? Buang sampah dari kenderaan” (Don’t you feel guilty throwing rubbish out from your car?)
Ardi felt it was a good way of reminding road-users not to litter and he hopes that the effort made by the Dungun City Council will bear fruit.
A similar photo was also posted by Blogger Aainaa-Nadirah who spotted the sign board by the Public Works Department (JKR) while travelling in Kuantan, Pahang.
However some felt the move may not be the right way to address the problem.
“If you are taught from young not to throw rubbish out of the car, then you won’t, but some parents just do not care and allow their children to do so even though it is wrong,” said another Facebook user Mohd Firdaus Ekram.

Brutally-caned five-year-old girl now in ICU
By IVAN HO
The Star 17/8/13
IPOH: A five-year-old girl, suspected of having been brutally caned by her mother in Taman Wang, Menglembu, has been warded in the Intensive Care Unit of a hospital here.
Ipoh OCPD Asst Comm Sum Chang Keong said a doctor at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital lodged a report on the matter on Friday evening.
He said the girl had cane marks all over her body and head.
"She is being treated at the Intensive Care Unit. Investigation into matter is ongoing," he said.
ACP Sum said following the report, police detained the parents at their home at about 1.30pm.
The girl was brought to the hospital by her 39-year-old father.
It is learnt that she was caned by her 30-year-old mother for "being mischievous."
Police are now investigating the case for child abuse.\ UPDATED Police remand Parents who Brutally caned Daughter
By CHERYL HEW
The Star 17/8/13
IPOH: The parents of a five-year-old girl, who is on life support after being brutally caned, have been remanded for three days.
On Saturday, Magistrate Rahimah Rahim issued the three-day remand order ending Monday at the magistrate's court here.
Confirming that police had obtained a three-day remand order against the 30-year-old mother and 39-year-old father, Ipoh OCPD Asst Comm Sum Chang Keong said the case was being investigated as causing grievous hurt under Section 325 of the Penal Code.
It was reported that the girl's father had taken her to the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital here after she collapsed from high fever on Thursday.
She had visible cane marks, bruises and lacerations all over her body and head.
The girl's condition prompted a doctor to make a report to the police at the hospital police beat, leading to the arrest of the couple at their home in Taman Wang, Menglembu here, the next day.
It is believed that the mother had caned the girl, said to be a special needs child, over her "mischievous" behaviour.
Neighbours at the couple's home remained tight-lipped when approached by The Star.
They, however, revealed that the girl was a quiet child.
"I've heard from neighbours that the girl often hurts herself by hitting her own head against the wall.
"But I've never seen it with my own eyes," one neighbour claimed.
When contacted, state Women Development, Family, Community Welfare and National Integration committee chairman Datuk Rusnah Kassim said the couple's other son and daughter, aged seven and two, had been taken into the care of the state Welfare Department.
"They are currently under welfare protection.
"Both children have been placed at a children's shelter and are doing well.
"However, they appear to be traumatised over the incident," she said.

Online Love Scam Ring Busted
By NICHOLAS CHENG

17/8/13
KUALA LUMPUR: A syndicate that specialises in online love scams couldn’t charm its way out when police raided an apartment in Bukit Mandarin, Cheras.
Police confiscated 10 bank cards, six passbooks believed to be from previous scams, and 1kg of methamphetamine stashed in one of the suspects’ car.
Four notebook computers and six mobile phones were also recovered during the operation at 10.30am on Thursday.
Three Nigerian men, another from Lesotho and Malaysian women aged 29 to 32 were arrested.
Their modus operandi involves gaining the trust of females online, and then asking them to bank in money to a Malaysian woman’s account in order to pay for the “tax” on a parcel that they claim has been detained by the Malaysian Customs.
The conmen would say the parcel contains lots of cash, and would then promise the girls a share of the cash as a reward.
Investigations into the syndicate began in April after a 21-year-old college student was duped of RM1,630.
She had reportedly befriended a British man named Richard Kickme on Facebook in January and fallen in love with the online Casanova.
“On April 19, one of the suspects contacted the victim, saying he was planning to visit her.
“He called her again the next day, claiming he had arrived but was held up at the airport for bringing in a parcel containing US$48,000 (RM135,000).
“He said he would give her some of the money if she banked in the amount, which she did the same day,” said Cheras OCPD ACP Mohan Singh, adding that she lodged a police report after the man did not show up.
ACP Mohan said commercial crime officers were studying the bank cards and passbooks to help solve other similar cases.

Thieves torch house before escaping with loot
The Star 17/8/13
JOHOR BARU: A group of thieves set a house on fire at Taman Sri Putri in Skudai in a bid to eliminate any trace of evidence.
It is learnt that they carted away over RM90,000 in jewellery and cash that were kept in the house before setting it on fire at about 4pm on Thursday.
Retiree Poh Qing Fei, 60, said that he, his ex-wife and son were not at home when the thieves struck.
“I was out of town, visiting my brother in Muar and my ex-wife was out shopping at that time,” he said, adding that his son was at work.
Poh said he was informed of the incident yesterday by his younger brother, who lived nearby.
“When I arrived home, I was shocked to see the inside of my house almost completely burnt.’
“Following inspection, we realised that our jewellery worth about RM50,000 were stolen,” he said.
Johor Baru North deputy OCPD Supt Beh Eng Lai said police were investigating the case.
“We believe that the thieves had burnt the house just to cover up their act,” he said.
Supt Beh said the case had been classified as burglary, besides causing mischief by fire or explosive substance with intent to destroy a house under the Penal Code.

Latin American burglary suspects held after high-speed chase
The Star 17/8/13
SHAH ALAM: Two Latin Americans were arrested by police on suspicion of being involved in burglary less than two months after entering the country.
Acting Selangor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk A. Thaiveegan said the two men, aged 31 and 36, entered the country in July on tourist visas.
He said a patrol unit in Putra Heights noticed three men in a Honda MPV behaving suspiciously on Aug 14.
“As police officers approached the car to investigate, they sped off, leading to a high-speed chase,” DCP Thaiveegan told reporters at a press conference.
The 30-minute pursuit on an expressway saw the burglars ramming through a toll booth barrier.
The suspects ditched their car in Section 28, Shah Alam, before fleeing on foot, but two of the suspects were caught while the third man is still at large.
DCP Thaiveegan said the suspects had used fake number plates on their rented vehicle.
“We found a number of break-in tools like screwdrivers as well as other paraphernalia like gloves and caps,” he said, adding that the suspects would be remanded until tomorrow.
DCP Thaiveegan also said that a gang of robbers linked to a robbery in July had been arrested.
Five suspects, aged between 20 and 27, were arrested separately in Kelana Jaya and Teluk Panglima Garang on Thursday, and would be remanded until next Wednesday.
“They have no criminal records, but we have evidence linking them to the case,” he said.
During the July 28 incident in Banting, five men robbed a home of valuables worth RM80,000.

Ex-debt collector Stabbed to Death
By R.S.N. MURALI and MOHD FAHMI MOHAMED DIAH
malacca@thestar.com.my
17/8/13
MALACCA: A former debt collector was stabbed to death by an agent of a loan shark following a heated argument over outstanding collections.
Chong Piang Fong, 49, attempted to flee from his assailant but succumbed to a fatal stab on the left side of his chest at a house in Taman Malim Jaya, Malim here yesterday morning.
Neighbours alerted the police who found the victim lying face down covered in a pool of blood.
It is learnt that Chong had given up his job as a debt collector as he wanted to venture into business. Apparently, he had worked previously with another loan shark and the assailant wanted to discuss about the outstanding amounts collected from debtors which was purportedly withheld by Chong.
Their discussion turned into a fiery row and the assailant used a sharp weapon to stab him several times. Police believed a kitchen knife was used to stab the victim but had yet to recover the murder weapon.
State Deputy CID Chief Superintendent P.R. Gunarajan said the assailant had arrived at the house about an hour early to demand for the outstanding cash.
Supt Gunarajan said police had traced the 25-year-old suspect who was at a friend’s house in Kampung Lapan, Tengkera through the help of a witness.
Supt Gunarajan said police also detained three other men aged between 25 and 35 to help facilitate the probe.
“All four were under the influence of drugs,” he said, adding that the prime suspect was also found to have previous criminal records relating to drug offences and had served several prison terms in Perak several years ago.

"We have lodged a police report SG PETANI/000971/13 against Ganesh (IC no 840409-08-5815) and Ranjini (IC no 931112-02-5954) at Sungai petani on 9th jan' 2013.
We met Ganesh and Ranjini in our Church at Taman Batik, Sungai Petani during December, 2012. Since Ganesh was handicapped and they were struggling without food & shelter, out of sympathy we helped them and allowed them to stay in our house for a short period. After one day when we went to drop our son in School they stole our valuables (jewelry: ~ 240 grams; Cameras: Canon & Sony; Silver Anklets; Ladies wrist watch: Alba; Mobile: Sony Ericson), broke the gate and escaped using our car. They left our car in Ipoh and informed us after one week. With the help of police we got back our car from Ipoh police station.
We have the photos of the stolen items and the receipt for the new camera (Canon A810) that we purchased 3 months ago.
I have attached the photo of the couple (Ganesh and Ranjini) who robbed us, the Sungai Petani police report, the new Camera receipt, list of stolen items with description, details of the theft incident as well as the information I've collected about the couple.

Beggar turn Hostile - Kelana Jaya
16/8/13
I was waiting for my parents to pick me up at Kwongsi food court (not sure what's their current restaurant's name), opposite Kelana Jaya LRT Station around 6pm. Was having a black makeup box with me and i placed it on the floor while waiting. An Indian middle aged man approached me, about 160cm, wearing clean red & white stripes polo, slacks and black shoes. He "asked politely" in english if i can give him any money, he said he's extremely hungry and god will bless me. I refused and remained silence.
What shocked me was what he said next,
"Are there any money in that box? I can grab and run away with it. No offense, i'm just being honest! I think there's money in it."
I definitely feel threatened and was like wtf? I told him it's my makeup box. I grabbed my box and walked over to the road side pasembur rojak. (I might lose my mind here, should have walked back to 7-11.) I desperately told the rojak stall's uncle bout what happened. Apparently they just gave him some rojak a while ago. They kindly offered me to sit at their stall and wait for my car.
Later on the same Indian man bugged the roasted duck's auntie along the road. He stood there for about 10 minutes. Luckily one of the rojak stall's worker helped out and shoo him away.

Deputy Klang Utara police chief Superintendent Jani Ahmad said a friend of the victim said he was chatting with Sambhath and a few others friends when two men on a red Yamaha 125Z motorcycle pulled up.
“The motorcyclists were wearing black long-sleeved jackets and helmets with dark visors. The pillion rider got off the machine, pulled out a gun and fired a few shots at the group.”
The group ran helter-skelter to save themselves but Sambhath was hit from a distance of about two to three metres.
Selangor deputy Criminal Investigation Department chief Assistant Commissioner Rusdi Mohd Isa said police wereare currently checking to see if there was any closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera footage in the area.
S. Prabhakaran, 25, the younger brother of the victim, said Sambhath had worked hard to provide for the family with his five-year-old through his lorry rental businessservice.
“He was my only sibling andso we were very close. My parents and I were dependent on him. Now, we will have to think of a way to continue his business,” he said at the victim’s home in Taman Klang Utama.

Hi I would like to share an incident which happened to me yesterday night (15th August 2013, 10.20pm). I reside in PJ section 4. When I drove pass Kanna Curry House I realised theres a motorcycle following me from behind..couldnt see the number plate, but I could see theres a 'P' sticker beside the number plate. Somehow from my instinct he looked kinda suspicious so I continued driving until I turned into the main road Jalan Tandang, there were another 2 motorcycle parked at the roadside..I drove normally until i realised the first motorcycle 'teamed up' with the another 2 motorcycle and followed me from behind..I realised something is extremely wrong..I decided to try my luck and test whether were they really following me or what by making 3 rounds at the roundabout (near Topmark Toyota)..to my surprise..the 3 motorcycle followed me throughout the 3 rounds of roundabout..by then i realised it a do or die situation..I spam on my accelerator paddle and sped to the section 8 police station and kept honking..by the time i reached the police station the 3 motorcycle dispersed..
To all the drivers out there..pls do pay attention to your surroundings..its better to be safe than sorry..
