House break-in next to my house today. Earlier, I heard people calling out next door, thinking they're my
neighbor's friends but turnout they're testing to see if there's people in the house. Seeing no respond,
they prised open both the porch and house gates and ransack the house. My neighbor's son came home
to see his house gates and door were wide opened and saw a man with a parang in hand ransacking the
house.

He quickly yelled out and that startled the intruder. The intruder tried to slash my neighbor's son neck but
got his hand instead. The intruder immediately ran out of the house into a waiting car outside, He broke a
glass panel of the door, causing a loud crash. My other neighbors and I quickly come out to investigate and
saw a car sped off.

Seem like this is one of a tactic burglars are using today.

My location is Kampung Pandan, KL. The incident took place at roughly 5.30 pm. Earlier, heard the
intruder called out "Abang! Abang!". Thinking maybe he's a friend or relative of my neighbor, I paid
little attention to it. Even the other neighbor, who is an auxiliary policeman came out for a peek.

Can you imagine how bold criminals are today? This is a lesson, from now on, I will be extra
vigilant and I hope you all will too.

He firstly thought was that some friends or relatives came over to his house for a visit until he saw a
man walking around in his house holding a bag and a parang. I don't know why he yelled out, but
it's a good thing because it attracted the attention of the other neighbors who rushed out to investigate.

I doubted very much calling 999 will do any good in that situation. The respond from the neighbors getting
out to help is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy faster than the police.

Yes, it is.
