OMG
And they said, we are the safest nation amongst SE Asia...

My deepest sympathy with victims,

daylight robery & lucky there was a camera to film this incident.

cash?

Does it strike you as being very coincidental? the houseowner drives in, the man stops in front of the house, gets out, and then the bike drives past. Why does it look so staged ? unless the man always stops in front of that house after the houseowner drives in, they couldn't have known he would do that.

Why did the man stop outside the house and get out of his car? what were they looking for? they didn't steal his handphone (although they could have,) they didn't steal his car (although they could have)  what did they take?

What's so lucky with faces being caught on film?
There's millions/billions of face to match.....who's going to do that? 

Someone said to watch and to ensure there are no suspicious vehicles following behind before u entering home... But how to do this all the while ?

Surely at times when we are tired after work, and arrived home, we won't have a mind to look back and forth anymore.

u said that impossible bcos u dont have usual practices to overcome this issues...

definitely we will use the rear mirror to look the traffic condition behind, we should able identify the car model and color
it can easily spot unless the driver dont use rear mirror while driving at all... 

if there have vehicles following us for few streets, we can stop aside to let the vehicles overtake 1st...
but if we stop aside, the vehicles stop aside too... something wrong...
try to drive again and check whether the vehicle following again or not... if the vehicles follow again, by tat time i will drive my car to prime area such as petrol station or mamak stall have a sit there with tea tarik, do a challenge how patient the robber was...

i always did practices to check whether any suspicious ppl around me/my car before i getting down my car, if nothing i will open my gate to park my car inside there... FYI, sometimes i even let my car engine running with key to open or close my gate... if there have strangers around, definitely i will pull out my car key to avoid robbery and pay attention on that strangers...

what robber required is opportunity or chances to success it no matter we have RM10 or RM10k if they choose the victims randomly... for those ppl carrying out huge amount money from bank, better pay attention on any suspicious vehicles because may targeted earlier and easy to spot if they keep follow...

GKL, many thanks for your good points, truely treasured them.

Perhaps after reading your post here, I will emulate all that you have written,... I have a very big concern over security because the house I am staying in is situated in a very low occupancy area. I don't have neighbours around my house at all. My family lived alone on the hilltop.

The nearest neighbour is situated at the bottom of the hill which is 0.5 km away.

I am most worried whenever I reach home late at night. Some no-good characters might be lurking in some bushes waiting to pounce on me.

I am thinking of applying for and carry firearms. Is this a good idea ?

maybe the auto-gate is one of the solutions for u... at least no required to step down from car to open gate which increased the risks on us and provide chances to robbers like what u said... remain the car door in lock condition while opening the gate remotely... drive ur car into house and lock the gate remotely, once the gate closed completely then only step down from car... but if the robber lurking in our houses, nothing much we can do about it...

YouTube attack: Cops act
By AIZAT SHARIF    March 30, 2009      Categories: News

FAST and furious. That was the reaction of the police barely 24 hours after Malay Mail hit the streets
on Friday with the frontpage report on the brazen assault on a couple’s house in Taman Maluri, Cheras, on March 16.

The cops are looking into the possibility that the 11 Mat Rempit they arrested early Saturday morning
could have been involved in that attack.

Police swooped in on Saturday and hauled up the 11 Mat Rempit in two separate locations in Cheras.

The bikers were arrested mainly on suspicion of being involved in several cases of gang-robbery and
snatch thefts around the Cheras district.

Police zeroed in on nine of the suspects while they were hanging around outside a house in Taman
Dahlia, Cheras. The two other suspects were arrested elsewhere in Cheras.

Cheras district police chief ACP Ahmad Amer Mohd Hashim said the arrests came after a tipoff
from the public. The suspects had been under police surveillance for the past one week.

“Those detained were aged between 17 and 18. They were arrested on suspicion of being involved
in robberies and snatch thefts,” he said.

The suspects were mostly secondary school students and school leavers. Five of them also tested positive for cannabis and the drug “ice”.

“We believe that the gang became active about a month ago. They are opportunists who preyed on those  walking home alone or had stopped by the roadside.”

With the arrests, police believe they have solved at least five robbery and snatch theft cases in and
around Cheras. “Police also seized several items like cheques, credit cards and handphones, believed to have been stolen.”

Asked if the suspects were also involved in the daring robbery at Taman Maluri on March 16, Ahmad Amer said police were still piecing it together. He added that investigators were analysing the 78 terrifying seconds of footage captured in horrifying detail by the couple’s CCTV camera.

The suspects are being remanded for seven days at the Cheras district police headquarters.

In the attack that day, six men, clad in black, rode in on three motorcycles and stormed the house belonging to 37-year-old clerk Candy Teoh. She had just pulled into the porch after doing her
grocery shopping when her husband’s friend, Alvin Chua, 39, pulled up outside the house in his Nissan Cefiro.

Chua had dropped by to see his friend, and Teoh’s husband, Lim Gim Leong, who was not at home at
the time. Just as Chua pulled up, the six men stopped alongside him. One of them got off the bike
and began running toward him. He was armed with a machete. Chua ran for the safety of the house but it was too late.

The armed Mat Rempit cornered the frightened occupants and relieved them of cash and valuables as his accomplices secured the perimeter. A minute later, they were gone. The clip has been posted on the video-sharing website YouTube.
