were the incidents reported? make sure u do yo.

carrying weapons even in self defence is illegal in Malaysia

Crime is very commonplace these days, TS. We just don't know how close it is to us until we see it for our own eyes or become a victim of it
Check out this topic early last year -> http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=500206&hl=
even i had my expereince in there

we just have to be more street smart and need to avoid the wrong places you know. thats the best we can do.

the other day got one aunty who go the morning market got chased by 2 guys with knives or parang on a motor, she at once threw her hand bag to the ground and jumped into a longkang. The 2 guys picked up handbag and sped of. She said she rather lose money than kena chop

the person speak chinese language should be chinese. The police also suspect the gang is from sg. buloh. You enter every shop you will see police notice stick on the shop to identify the robber.

illegal weapon like pen knife is always in my pocket. Retractable baton is always inside my car.

im staying at pelangi utama near 1u. snatch thefts by motorcycles is rather common here.

i saw a negro lady had her bag snatched by a pillion rider in front of my eyes as i was walking back home from the mall. a few people gave chase but the bike managed to get away.

happened so fast...even I was in

nowadays dun dare to walk alone back from 1u to my condo

agree lor... i always tell my grandma n sis dun carry handbag unless go dinner... they still dun 1 listen

ohh... i see... chinese or not.. they are a disgrace... if u ever catch them... give them a beating for me

wah! same here... lol... but very mah fan carry pen knifce because very uncomfortable...

d baton i use n play paly until loose already... lol.. put in car also..

eh guys ... i teach u all make stun gun want or not? cannot shoot out 1 lar.. but if u touch it at d robber he will get stunned

just a usual crime that happens everyday.

sama... polis kata jangan...


They just aim for girls handbags... so its safety for girls...
don't put expensive things such as phone/wallet at ur handbag...
when they come...just give them ur cheap handbag lah~!

Why is this pinned in Kopitiam? not everyone comes in here in kopitiam. It should be pinned in the main page

With regard to defending yourself against these street robberies, are you allowed to walk around with pepper spray, retractable baton or knife?
Are you allowed to keep them at home?
Are you allowed to have them in your car?
When someones breaks into my house am I allowed to defend my loved ones and myself with the help of pepper spray, retractable baton or knife?

Baronic..

As far as I'm concern...living in P.J. I reconize 4 diffrent robbers, (popular ones)
I'm not related to them, so I don't know if its their conspiracy, gang or whatever political agenda of theirs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to topic,
the first gang is 2 indians, about 173-175 height, thin. (no not racist).
The second gang, one chinese and of another race (burma,thai,myan could be malay oso--coz of skin color and he did yell to one of them in engrish language.)
The third is 2 indians, 1 fat 1 thin and young (could be his son or nephew or whatever).
The fourth is 2 malay youth.

important.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How I reconize them?? Over the years, in ss2, my mom and I witness people getting rob infront of my house, some sucessful some unsucessful.
Then my mom always let them in the house for a drink just to chill and let them call police or sumthing. (sheesh, waste my money).

Police sometimes also ask us, why we didn't help the victim...(i take it as they wanna cari pasal with me only). "So i just ask them, what would you wan civilians to do, take sword and samurai with them or buy gun and shoot? but I belive the best way is report to you boys, right?"
Guessed what, the dumbo (police) agree with me.

Well its not all that bad, now a lot less of them rob infront of my house dee. I think I changed the feng shui, so the negitive energy went to my neighbour .
Yeah, now her house (my nieghbour)there very frequent got rob, but, she dun care the victim.

well, life goes on.

God, my gym is in uptown
and i used to work in TTDI...

which part of TTDI?
Jalan mohd fuad or the other side closer to 1U ?

dam, there's police station in both uptown and ttdi...
damn useless

Everywhere also the same lah. TTDI, DU, DJ, SS2, SS1, Sea Park, Section 14, 17, etc. Whole of PJ and KL except those areas next to police stations, you might see less crime.

So, putting this as just DU and TTDI only is not enough. Should change title IMO.

PS
I heard other places where the robbers slashed first then only snatch.

ermm.. i think allowed or not doesnt really matter as it is conceilable.. i thik ok if u leeave it in ur pocket..

police wont come n check 1 lar...

yes, if they enter ur house, let hell looose on them if u can, but once they can reataliate.. stop

agree, a lot of robbers practice slash 1st lor... ss2 also got police stations what... right in the middle... but crime still high

I was just wondering what the Malaysian law is regarding carrying weapons and using them. So I guess your safest bet would be when you are being robbed on the street is, use pepper spray on them, bash in their heads with retractable baton. Then put them in the back of your car and bring them home, call the police and report that you were attacked by robbers in your very own home and while defending yourself, you might have killed them?

If you carry any sharp object from shops unguarded, unprotected or no cover is consider a weapon. If buy from shop must have recipt and bag to prove it.

Pepper spray, sound alarm , smelly breath (yes, it worked) can be used to save urself from robbery.

malaysia police BEST advise

The best way to stay safe, well 99% of the police will say, co-operate with the robbers, give them what they want and report to the police.
Don't put yourself into danger and get injured. It's not worth your taurma and our trouble. Let the police do the job, We (police) are working 24/7 to solve your case, at the same time the public too must help us to catch the robbers and togeather we keep malaysia peace.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the clear explanation, from now on I will be carrying pepper spray. With regard to Malaysia's Police best advise, I will co-operate with the robbers but if they give me the chance to crack their skulls I will. I'll explain to the police how the poor guys tripped and fell on their heads after I pepper sprayed them....

here in sabah they act very fast. Witnessed one just inside a shopping complex. where this couple of uncle and aunty..

shopping but aunty de handbag put inside giant's trolley so when they turn to see some products..

the ******* acts.. take and run lightning fast.

this one i witnessed, was caught coz when he try to take a corner, the floor is slippery.. so he felled down.. and the guards pin him like u see in MMA. then he cry like a baby.

when the police come, he said he just playing with the uncle and aunty.
but the aunty is so furious go scold and spit on his face lolz.

lol she spitted on his face, that's just gross! Oh well I guess he had it coming.


Maybe the police should use some undercover agents as bait in these areas, I'm sure if they would the crime rate would drop drastically!
