Since I came across this thread, I just want to comment and say that robberies had become so rampant recently. Even worse, the robbers would usually hurt their victims first just to immobilise them. The recent stories of the pregnant ladies being killed while being robbed on their bikes are saddening and brings much anger to my heart against those BL00DY robbers and murderers. I guess one lesson learnt here for all bikers is NOT to carry any handbags or things that may be snatched by these robbers on bikes!

Anyway, just want to share a few events with you that happened to my cousin and friend:

1) Last Tuesday (5th May 09), my cousin had just returned to his home at Sri Damansara at around 9.15pm. When he got off his car to walk towards his gate to close it (it was manual gate), there was two motorbikes that just stopped infront of his house and four guys with parangs attacked him. One of the guys slashed him in the left shoulder with the parang and he was bleeding alot.

As he realised these ppl meant to harm him and would get into his hse where his wife was, he immediately feared for his life and the safety of his wife. He fought back fiercely and managed to bring one of the assailants to the ground and kicked him. However, a second guy came and slashed him in the head! From all the fighting, he realised only 1 guy was standing there and giving instructions to the other three. He was like the leader and telling them what to do. Suddenly, he shouted 'Bunuh dia' few times and this caused even greater fear to my cousin and his wife. Upon hearing this, he fought even harder for his life and thank God...they suddenly decided to leave when the supposed leader said it was enough and to leave.

They left on their bikes and my cousin was then rushed to the Gleneagles hospital for treatment. He was left with 11 stitches on his shoulder and two screws to hold his shoulder bone together...a part of his shoulder bone was chipped off!    His head sustained 12 stitches! The doctors said he was extremely lucky as he could have lost his left ear and eye as the slash was near there. The shoulder wound was also inches from his neck and major arteries...if it severed any of these...he would have lost his life!

Thank God my cousin is safe and recovering now. Just want to warn all you ppl that these robbers are cruel and they will not hesitate to hurt anyone or even KILL for that matter. They have no heart and feelings! Those ppl with manual gates, we were told that next time...we should reverse our cars in as this will give us a better view of our surroundings when pulling into the house. Also, if anyone stops infront of the hse...we can see clearly and just drive through them for quick escape! (These was some tips given to us by the police and others) - BEST is to invest on auto-gate!

2) Last month at Cheras (forgot which Taman behind Phoenix Plaza), my friend's sister just returned home at 7pm. She was opening her gate when suddenly a bike appeared behind her. She just turned around to look and was immediately slashed by the pillion rider. They took her handbag and left her bleeding profusely and in shock.

She had 8 stitches on her left side of the face, near the ear! Her hand was also severed cut and needed operation. She received 9 stitches to the hand.

These thieves said nothing and just slashed her immediately! She had no idea what exactly happened and was in shock. All she remembered is that she heard a bike behind her...she turned around and a parang came to her face and hand! 

D@MN ALL THESE RUTHLESS THIEVES!!! 

hmm... this one is not really a crime, but something almost happened... i was driving alone on jalan ipoh heading north when suddenly i realised there were 2 motorcycles riding at constant speed beside me. one of them ride alone, the other bike got 2 people. all males. so i got worried and i increased my speed a bit, and just as i thought, they also speed up and stay close to me. the pillion rider then started to stare at me while their bike is getting nearer to my car. it's like they're gonna do something. so i braked hard and they had to go the front cos a bike cant brake suddenly in the middle of the road on the congested jalan ipoh. luckily the car behind was kinda slow and he was pretty far from my car, or else he would've kissed my bumper. as the bikes went far ahead, i can see the pillion rider turning his head and he kept on looking at me, like he was unsatisfied. maybe it was nothing after all, but i thought that was kinda scary. if the worst thing happened, i'll just run over them i guess...
