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

I had an old creative mp3 player and was song scrolling(looking down) when a motor came slowly from my side on the side walk and tried to grab it from me. He was unsuccessful but it did fall on the ground. He looked back and we stared at each other for a few seconds and he sped off. No, dude this was a main road and its just nearby KLCC. Its all bloody true, these people are getting more desperate by the day due to gear envy or spiralling cost of living or for the sheer heck of it. I would like to say that the bad hats are more locals than foreigners. BUt house break ins are a different story.
we just have to be more street smart and need to avoid the wrong places you know. thats the best we can do.
I want to warn u all about bukit bintang especially in the areas of jalan alor, there are a bunch of thugs there who employ the same hit and grab tactic. my cousin who was about like 6 feet plus and well built, got ambushed. although there were not like his size but they had pipes and knives. they got away with his C902 and his gf's N95 and money. he has stiches on his head and other non-threatenig injuries. but suprisingly they left the girl alone.
anyway, it was late, and its dangerous in KL at certain areas when its late, and he made the mistake to walk alone with his gf and park in a poorly lit lane.
never have any false sense of security on KL sidewalks, never
please tell us your housing area or vicinity. thanks

I hope you all can overlook the religious tone of this last letter of a dying man to the religious figure of his faith, and read it for what it is. A man facing a certain fate, yet fully admissable for what he is, an imperfect being....

"Most Holy Father, I asked President Obama to personally hand-deliver this letter to you. As a man of deep faith himself, he understands how important my Roman Catholic faith is to me, and I am so deeply grateful to him.
I hope this letter finds you in good health. I pray that you have all of God's blessings as you lead our church and inspire our world during these challenging times. I am writing with deep humility to ask that you pray for me as my own health declines. I was diagnosed with brain cancer more than a year ago, and although I continue treatment, the disease is taking its toll on me. I am 77 years old and preparing for the next passage of life.
I have been blessed to be part of a wonderful family. And both of my parents, particularly my mother, kept our Catholic faith at the center of our lives. That gift of faith has sustained and nurtured and provided solace to me in the darkest hours. I know that I have been an imperfect human being, but with the help of my faith, I have tried to right my path.
I want you to know, Your Holiness, that in my nearly 50 years of elective office, I have done my best to champion the rights of the poor and open doors of economic opportunity. I have worked to welcome the immigrant, to fight discrimination and expand access to health care and education. I have opposed the death penalty and fought to end war. Those are the issues that have motivated me and have been the focus of my work as a United States senator.
I also want you to know that even though I am ill, I'm committed to doing everything I can to achieve access to health care for everyone in my country. This has been the political cause of my life. I believe in a conscience protection for Catholics in the health field and I'll continue to advocate for it as my colleagues in the Senate and I work to develop an overall national health policy that guarantees health care for everyone.
I have always tried to be a faithful Catholic, Your Holiness, and though I have fallen short through human failings, I have never failed to believe and respect the fundamental teachings of my faith. I continue to pray for God's blessings on you and on our church and would be most thankful for your prayers for me."
Iqbal Masih (Urdu: اقبال مسیح) (b. 1983 - April 16, 1995), was a young Pakistani boy who was forced into bonded labour in a carpet factory at the age of five, became an international figurehead for the Bonded Labour Liberation Front at the age of 10 and was brutally murdered in 1995 at the age of 12 by being shot in the back with a twelve gauge shotgun. Iqbal Masih was born in Muridke, a small, rural village outside of Lahore in Pakistan. Shortly after Iqbal's birth, his father, Saif Masih, abandoned the family. Iqbal's mother, Inayat, worked as a housecleaner, but found it difficult to make enough money to feed all her children from her small income. Iqbal was sold as a child slave at the age of four for the equivalent of 12 USD. He was forced to work on a carpet loom in a small town called Muridke near Lahore, and was made to work twelve hours per day. Due to long hours of hard work and insufficient food and care, Iqbal was undersized. At twelve years of age, Iqbal was the size of a six-year old boy. At the age of 10, he escaped the brutal slavery and later joined the BLLF (Bonded Labor Liberation Front of Pakistan) to help stop child labor around the world. Iqbal helped over 3,000 Pakistani children that were in bonded labour escape to freedom, and made speeches about child labour all around the world. He was murdered on Easter Sunday 1995 in Muridke in the middle of a busy road. Some locals were accused of the crime but it is assumed by many that he was assassinated by members of the "Carpet Mafia" because of his famous fight against the child labour industry. In 1994, Iqbal was awarded the Reebok Human Rights Award. In 2000, he was posthumously awarded The World's Children's Prize for the Rights of the Child.
