Guys becareful. On the 19th of August at about 9.10p.m at night my mom got mugged at Taipan Ara Damansara. This incident happened when she was just about to come home. She went to her car to put her laptop in, and as soon as she put it into the car 2 guys on the motorbike stopped behind her car and 1 guy hopped off and ran towards her to try and get her handbag. He then pulled out a long sharp object which looked like a knife / parang and sliced my mom by the ear and her hands and manage to get her handbag. please becareful and do not go out alone at night. Take care. God bless. Please pray for her. Thank you.

Broad Daylight Theft - Ara Damansara

shared by Bev Stubbs

I wish to share with you an incident that occurred to me this afternoon, the 14th August, in PJU1A / 20b.

I am a retired UK expat who has been living in Ara Damansara for the past 3½ years.

Recently I have taken up cycling to combat the onset of those unwanted additional kilos and to build up my fitness.

So this afternoon at around 2.30, for the first time, instead of driving down to the shops I decided to ride my bike.

I took a rucksack to carry the chain I would use to attach my bike to a suitable anchor and unusually I placed my wallet (containing cash, ATM and credit cards), phone and house keys in the rucksack. I say unusually because my normal modus operandi would be to place my wallet and phone in separate pockets of my cargo pants and the keys in a side pocket. Today, however, I was not wearing cargo pants so they all went in the rucksack.

I slowly cycle down to the shops and found a suitable signpost pole to use as an anchor for the bike, on the corner of Jalan PJU1A/20b and 20c, which is in full view of all in the vicinity. I place the bike against the pole, took off my rucksack, removed the chain and placed the rucksack on the ground directly beside my feet. I proceeded to chain the bike to the pole and had only been there for a matter of one or two minutes when I became aware of a slight draught at my ankles. I looked down to see that my rucksack had disappeared. I looked up and saw a man with my rucksack running towards Jalan PJU1A/1 where his accomplice was waiting on a motorbike so that they could make their get away. I gave chase to the thief but I never had a chance to catch him as he had at least a 15 meter start on me.

This snatch was made in mid afternoon in broad daylight, with many people present who witnessed the incident and the rucksack was taken from right at my feet. A very audacious act, by people who obviously consider that the reward is worth the risk as there is little risk of getting caught.

I have been an expat for more years than I care to admit and have worked in many countries both in the Middle East and South East Asia. I have, with out doubt, enjoyed my time in Malaysia, which I believe is a very fortunate country endowed with friendly citizens, natural resources, dramatic scenery and for me a great climate so it is with sadness that my positive feeling for this country has been tainted by my experience to day.

I hope the above will help to make people aware of the dangers that lurk at all times and in some small way avert an incident similar to mine.

Best Regards
Bev Stubbs

ROBBERY AT MCDONALDS @ CITTA MALL [ARA DAMANSARA]

There was a snatch case at McDonalds @ Citta Mall at 6am Tuesday Morning. Not sure what happened after that.

There are so many guards around there guarding the entrance and exit of Citta Mall! Are we really relaxed that robbers & thieves are targeting our area (Ara Damansara) as easy prey?! Not to mention also that on August 5, Restoran Kapitan (Ara Damansara) was robbed AGAIN by a group of men with parang 4:45am in the morning! What has become to this place?! I remember the first time I shift in into Ara Damansara, it was a peace and safe place! Even robbers targeting our area! Please be VERY VERY careful!

A Bangladeshi construction worker was robbed and stabbed at Dataran Ara Damansara on 5 Aug 2012 at approximately 645pm. He was walking home after buying grocery from the nearby mini market. The robber wanted to rob him as he just got his salary. He fought back and the robber stabbed him on his right abdomen. No information of the robber was available.

Thanks to the doctor (Dr Ho, long sleeve white shirt gentleman on the left) from the nearby clinic to extend his help without wanting to charge a fee. The ambulance came about an hour later and manage to admit the victim to the hospital before loosing much blood.

On the 31st January 2013, around 450PM while I was waiting for my brother to fetch me who was just 10 seconds away, I was standing at the road side outside Diaman Crimson, a Black Savvy just stopped and called me to hop in his car. There were 2 Malay guys, I reacted right away by walking further. Then I turned around to check if they U-Turned back, they just sped off. Luckily they did not pull me into their car the moment they stopped. Nowadays, girls, please be aware of your surrounding.

Happened in Ara Damansara on 13/Jan/2013 at 10:30pm.

My neighbor was robbed while on the way home around 10:30pm on 13/Jan/2013. Another car knocked her car from behind inside Ara Damansara. She got down and out came 4 dark-skinned men. They grabbed her hair; put a strangle-hold on her, dragged her and even beat her on the head with a metal pole. She put up a struggle and perhaps it was a busy intersection, the robbers left in their own vehicle. All the while, her 2 children were in the car. She lost her phone and require stitches on 2 locations on the head. Knees were bruised when dragged. Thank God she was not seriously hurt and the children were unharmed.

Reminder not to get down from vehicle when knocked from behind, especially at night. Safer to drive to the nearest police station. And be vigilant at all times.

Petty Thief at Ara Damansara - 13/1/13

Thanks to my family dogs bark and kept us alert. Incident happened approximately half past eleven p.m. at Embun, Ara Damansara. Three dark skinned male motorcyclists. Two keeping an eye, one with parang went towards the stout & tall sugarcane plants at our backyard. My dad was first to went out telling them next time to seek permission before taking away other's plant. Those guys then hurriedly chopped down two mature sugarcane stalk before heading off towards another backlane. Within minutes as they were about to leave with more fresh stalks, another resident near our neighborhood stopped them. According to the other resident, the group also cut off his sugarcane plants and told them to get the owner's consent. When ask where the group got the other stalks from, they lied that they already got our permission. Coincidentally, this was the second time both our plants are being taken away without our knowledge and once the resident even saw a man jumping over the 5ft. high fencing bordering the neighborhood houses. Though these does not cost much, one day they might commit other offenses. Please be mindful and the more we are aware soon these opportunist will find that they are barking up the wrong tree

Robbery Attempt - Ara Damansara

At 1.45pm Ara Damansara
Call it divine intervention on the life of our students mother.

I was originally intending to drive out to Citta Mall for lunch but decided to walk behind our school, shop lot to the usual uncle mamak stall behind and ate simple.
Finished and walked back to the school along the shop lot alley and saw meters in front of me, an Indian youth/man roughly between age 24-28yrs

walking towards a lady sitting outside our school stairs on the phone, grabbed her neck/head but she Screamed immediately and I screamed at him at the same time.

He then proceeded to confront me and like a hollywood movie, unveiled his parang at me while I am now taking some hops and steps backtracking at the same time thinking of plan B plan B plan B.
Had nothing on me, my car was behind me but my keys were in my office in the school. Had no form of 'weapon' to fight back but only shouted at him "Why are you doing this" as he veiled off to his accomplice on the motorbike. I think it was WGX 706 or 762 Honda C70. Tall skinny.

If I had not happen to be there, she would have been robbed of all her belongings. God's intervention of His grace in which she gave thanks for. For me, I am tremendously ANGRY that I couldn't do anything to get even. But maybe in my unavailability of any resource to fight back, I too was spared by HIS grace.

Evil is seeking to devour both spiritually and physically. Be alert, on guard, at all times.
All is calm now, Students mother is thankful and composed.

Its a real shame that things like this is happening in our community. WE MUST DO SOMETHING. -PL
