Be careful... even though it was reported that
Pemandu said it's efforts have brought the crime rate down, it's just THEIR
perception. See email from my friend below. That's reality!
I am the neigbour of the victim,Mr
Woo whose house was robbed on Tuesday night at 11.30 pm.
Mr Woo (in his sixties) went out to throw the rubbish
at a distance towards the back of his house leaving the front door and gate
open.
4 robbers rushed in without him knowing. There were 4
of them (2 of them had a 2 ft long parang) and 1 robber waiting outside in a
white Honda car.
When Mr. Woo
returned and he noticed the car he thought his son's friends were visiting him.
He thought he saw a man with a helmet and he thought his son's cancer patient
friend was visiting. As Mr. Woo was very dirty after cleaning the compound and
since there were guests in the house, he decided to go to the back door and
called for the son.
The son could
not respond as he already has a parang to his neck. Mr. Woo decided to throw
another round of rubbish and then went to the front gate again to look and see
if the guests have left. As he was hovering around, the robber waiting inside
the Honda car informed his accomplices to hurry. (The robber did not know Mr.
Woo is the owner of the house).
Inside, the robbers started to sapu everything and ask
the occupants to give them their jewelry, cash and watches. The victims lost
handphones, laptop & ipads.
It was
unfortunate that Mr. Woo had visiting relatives from overseas staying over. His
nephew from Australia had used his house for a wedding ceremony a week ago. So
they were additional valuables. His brother's wife begged the robber to return
her handbag and said that she love it very much and they did so.
Finally, the old man after hovering outside
for a while decided to go in the house. The robber outside immediately rushed
out of the car, grabbed & hold up his two hands from behind. That's when we
heard hiim screaming in great fear.
The remaining robbers inside rushed out with their
loot and left. Another neigbour hearing the commotion had called the police and
as usual they came after the robbers had left.
Actually, their modus operandi is to tie up the
occupants first with the plastic straps (pictured below). They have left behind
a packet - about 20 straps. They then take their time to ransack the house.

But because Mr.
Woo was hovering outside, the robber waiting outside had informed the
accomplices via handphone to hurry so they did not had the time to tie the
victims.
The same gang (big-sized indian guys) had
struck another neigbour's house, two roads away a month ago. The house door and
gate were opened and the robbers rushed in. (The committee of Taman Mayang can
verify). In that case, they tied up the whole family and ransacked the whole
place.
When they wanted to take the laptop the young daugher
pleaded with the robber and said that she has assignments to do. The robber
returned the laptop and even told her to study hard.
Just be
careful ... do not leave both the grill door and the gate open without being
vigilant..
