Malaysian Buses

A bus stuck right in the middle of a busy junction.

This is not an uncommon sight. Okay, not all buses make such a dramatic statement but this is typical of the Malaysian transportation industry. They run their vehicles - buses and lorries included - right to the ground. 

Unlike the Europeans, Malaysians dont really believe in preventive maintenance. We believe in maintenance only when the vehicle breaks down - not before that. This is just one of the many cases where buses fail. I have seen and read numerous stories where the long haul buses break down in the middle of the night, forcing passengers to wait in the dark for another bus, which usually takes around 1~2 hours to arrive. This is okay if it was a full load but what about those buses that only carry a few people. Imagine your daughter having to wait for a replacement bus in the middle of nowhere at midnight.

The bus industry complain that the fares, which are government controlled, are too low. The Malaysian government controls everything, to the point where competition is stifled, just so that the poor can survive. This is good. But the government should also allow new breed of buses that charge more for better service. The poor can still rely on the government subsidized buses while those who can afford can take the more expensive buses.

But the government will not do that because most people will take the new buses, if these buses can provide prompt, clean and fast service, and the government subsidized bus company will fail, as it always has been.

Once upon a time, there were the pink mini buses that were run mainly by the Chinese. While some of these bus drivers and conductors ran the roads like thugs, atleast things were moving - people got to where they wanted to, quickly and relatively safely. But once the government took control of everything, Malaysia slowed down.

And yet the government wonders why people use cars to get to work. Duh!

We have great trains and buses - but their all un-integrated. We have to literally come out of the train station to get to our connecting train. Go figure.

Why Are There Moron Drivers Like This One?

Why are there such stupid drivers like this moron lady on Jalan Kuching this morning?

She was going for a stroll this morning on the fast lane, busy on the handphone! Come on - you would think that such people are atleast educated enough to know that if you're on the fast lane, you drive fast. There were no cars in fron of her. The least she could do was to go to the middle lane and allow the fast moving cars to speed ahead.

But NO! She had to hog the fast lane  to everyone elses inconvenience. It's a wonder how people like these go through life - they must be bothersome to everyone they mix with.

I am done with today's ranting, what next? :)

Malaysia Down In The Drains

This is an excellent article by Farish Noor on how Malaysians are growing further and further apart, despite the government claiming that we're a united nation.

I wish that we're going closer but we arent.

15 years ago, before I went to the US to study, I could shake hands with my Malay female school mates. Coming back home after my 5 year course, I was so surprised to find out that I cant shake hands with them anymore. Apparently, Muslim women cannot shake the hands of non-Muslim men. Maybe its because someone becomes horny. I am fairly sure its not the non-Muslims.

Some blame it on Tun Mahathir. They say he was the cause of all this rotting in our country.

I dont know who is at fault. All I know is my country is going down the drain.

Malaysia will never grow as a developed country. Bickering by the majority narrow minded people is bringing this country to the dark ages.

Do A Little More...

Creating Man From a Petri Dish

We can now create man solely in the confines of a science lab. 

With the help of stem cells, scientist can now produce healthy sperms.

Hmm... I guess this is the start of the Amazon Women rule where man becomes secondary.

Joe Jackson - A Man After Fame

Joe Jackson, the father of the late superstar Michael Jackson, is lining up Michael Jackson's three young children to tour the country as the Jackson 3.

No wonder Michael Jackson hates his father so much. And no wonder he put his loving mother as the guardian of this children.

While credit should be given to Joe Jackson for making Michael famous, the lost childhood may have cost Michael his life.

How to Filter Through the Massive SPAM that comes through your Jaring and Streamyx Emails

I just found the perfect cure to all the SPAM message that comes through daily from my Jaring and Streamy emails - just run them through Gmail!

Gmail's spam filter is very, very good. Now I dont have to weed through a thousand spam emails per day.

Just go to your Account Settings in Gmail and add in your other email accounts. Gmail even offers the capability of sending emails through the other accounts. This helps when you have to be mobile. Now I can check my Jaring and Streamyx email from anywhere I wish, all through one interface.

Bye, Bye SPAMMY!!

Would You Get Upset at These Cleavages?

Would you get upset at work if your female colleague comes to work dressed in this attire?

I wouldnt!

But apparently South Korean men do!

Almost three-quarters of South Korean male office workers feel uncomfortable when female colleagues show too much leg or cleavage in the workplace, a survey has revealed. A poll of 1,254 employees by the job portal site CareerNet found that 74 percent of men felt upset with the attire of their female co-workers.

Would you get upset or distracted at work?

 

How To Get a High Salary in Malaysia

The opportunity for high salaried jobs remains high after the Malaysia's ruling Cabinet reversed its decision to teach Mathematics and Science subjects from English to Bahasa Malaysia.

This provide more opportunities for the Chinese and Indians to be employed with MNC's requiring people to be proficient in English.

Well done Malaysia! For a while there I thought that my children will have to compete with Malays who will be good in English!


<START OF QUOTE>
KUALA LUMPUR: The Cabinet has decided that the medium of instruction for Maths and Science will revert to Bahasa Malaysia in national schools and mother-tongue languages in national-type schools from 2012 onwards.

The reversal of the Teaching of Math and Science in English (PPSMI) policy will be done in stages, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said on Wednesday.

He however added that there will be greater emphasis on learning the English language.

English literature will be re-introduced, as will subjects on grammar and composition.

Beginning 2012, students in Year One and Year Four in primary schools, and Form One and Form Four in secondary schools, will learn Math and Science in Bahasa Malaysia.

The change will not affect those in Form Six and Matriculation.

The two subjects will be taught in two languages until 2014 for other students, he said.

"The gap between rural and urban students has widened since PPSMI started.

"Only 19.2% of secondary teachers and 9.96% of primary teachers were sufficiently proficient in English," he said, explaining the Government's decision to revert to the old system.

On efforts to emphasise the learning of English, the number of English teachers would be increased by 13,933 — retirees would be hired, as well as foreigners if need be.

Primary schools will also increase English classes by 90 minutes a week.

There have been calls from various groups for the policy to revert to before 2003, when the subjects were taught in Bahasa Malaysia in national schools, and either in Chinese or Tamil in national-type schools.

The issue has seen a rare alliance between Malay and Chinese educationists, who are against the switch, although there are also calls by many parents and entrepreneurs for English to be maintained.

Google to Develop Own Computer Operating System

After the last post, Google heard my rambling and quickly said that it will have its own PC-based operating system soon, based on the slow Chrome browser.

Well done Google, its time someone applied the fundamental rule of Business 101 - money goes to those who offer superior servies.

Why We Should Punish Microsoft by Using Pirated Copies of Windows

Why?

Ask someone who has paid a premium to buy Windows Vista Ultimate and if he/she doesnt slap you, they will tell you about how Microsoft cheated them, promising them so much more if they were to get the Vista Ultimate version of the software. And what did they get? Nothing much!

Read this article and you will find out why exactly Microsoft created such a farce with Vista that they had to bring out Windows 7 in order to recoup the money they have been losing!

Basically, Microsoft conned the buyers of Windows Vista Ultimate big time. You would expect Microsoft to be humble enough to give these Ultimate users a discount to Windows 7 but NO, Windows Vista Premium (the equivalent to Vista Ultimate) is even more expensive! Talk about hitting someone when their down!

But how can you punish Microsoft. After all, you rely on their operating system and softwares. And yet, do they care about you? They are more concerned about increasing their revenue after their blunder with Vista. They couldnt care less about you because they know you're forced to buy their software anyway - you're trapped.

Unless you opt for the illegal version of Windows. This is the only way to punish Microsoft so that it will feel the pain. I hope they will feel enough pain to realize that we're not stupid.

Firefox Over Chrome

While Google can toot its Chrome as being the faster browser, I tried it and now am back with Firefox.

Tthis article supports my view that Firefox seems to be the better browser. If you're not sure, trying opening up 11 tabs in Chrome and in firefox and see which one becomes sluggish.

Being a die-hard Google supporter, I was one of the first to download Chrome when it was first launched and used it constantly until about a week ago when I decided that enough is enough - Chrome tends to not display pages when it runs out of memory - all opened tabs become white, blank pages. And it becomes very sluggish.

So, good bye Chrome and welcome back Firefox!

Latest Public Scam/Threat in Malaysia

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I drove to Maybank Seapark branch PJ last Friday evening at about 5.30pm, 29May09.  I was pleased to find a vacant bay just outside the bank.  I parked my car and went to do some banking at the machines, then I walked cross to Watson to get some toiletries.  I came back to my car and noticed that the front right tyre was almost flat.  Immediately I drove to the tyre shop nearby, which is about 100m away.

I told the shop keeper I had a flat tyre.  His prompt response: "Did you go to the bank?"  He told me a few similar cases happened.  It was a clean cut on the side of the tyre, about 1 cm long.  

I guess these evil-doers' tactic was to follow my car (if I had not noticed the flat tyre) until I could not go further with the flat tyre.  Then they would either rob me on the spot or force me to go back to the bank to withdraw money for them.  

This reminded me of another time when I also parked in front of a bank in Uptown, Damansara Utama.  I did not go to the bank that day.  I had lunch with a friend near the bank. I sent her back to Taman Tun and came back home.  One of the tyres was flat.  There was a brand new nail stuck to the tyre.  I suppose that evil person did not follow us as he noticed we did not go to the bank.

Please be extremely careful when you go to the bank.  DON'T PARK NEAR THE BANK YOU ARE GOING TO!!!  You don't know who is watching you!!!

I thank God for His protection.

Regards,

Tharani

Have Malaysians Become This In-Considerate?

This article was taken from a Star letter from a reader:

Foreigners, not M'sians, to the rescue

I WAS in KLCC with a friend on June 30 and we went to watch a movie which finished at 11.20pm. We then made our way to the car park.

At the Autopay station the bill came to RM8.

It didn't hit me yet that the Autopay machines does not accept RM50 notes.

We started asking people nearby if they had change. All the Malaysians approached said they did not have change and just left us there.

We then approached this foreign couple (Indian nationals).

The husband ever so pleasantly asked us the amount we needed to pay.

When we told him RM8, he took out a RM10 note and gave it to us!

His exact words were: "I've been in the same situation before and I know how it feels. Just take it."

To the kind couple, thank you so much.

K.K.,
Seremban.

Stupid Farking Indonesians....

... are at it again, burning their forest and choking Malaysia with the smog and dust = HAZE.

Every year the Malaysian government pussy foots around the issue with the Indonesian government saying, "This will not happen again" and yet it does - every single year!

Malaysians end up falling sick because those retards in Indonesia who claim they have to burn their forest because their too poor to buy manure.

Fucking Indonesions!

It serves you right that the Malaysian goverment recently deported you guys back to your land. You have no right coming to Malaysia and enjoying a better quality of life.

BEWARE!! - SCAMS in Malaysia

1) The Cafe Scams - Island Red Cafe & Stevens Corner(strange, both in Pandan Indah) - Island Red Cafe collects members RM6,000 each and promised 5% return every month and even give you a name in the ROC as a shareholder but whatā?Ts the point when they run away ? Stevens Corner, the famous Indian coffee shop follows due to drop of business since their renovation. They collect RM3,000 per member and promise return of RM150 monthly and plans to open nice fanchisee cafe called StevensTeaGarden.

Someone mentioned they will make you sign an agreement that give them the rights NOT to pay you anything in future. If you really wish to join, ask for a copy of their agreement and consult your lawyer BEFORE paying them.
Bet you will NOT get a copy. Both collect monies from new members with MLM recruitment schemes and pay the old members like Sunshine Empire. You never know when they will run away.


2) Sunshine Empire - This licensed and legal Company has an impressive office at the ground level of KUB building along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, near Menara Public Bank and AmBank Building . They also have a showroom office at the ground level in the next building. 2 or 3 months ago, Singapore ā?Ts Straits Times and The Paper published big news reminding their people to be careful and NOT to believe in them. Hope someone can put up the link or Google for it.(As expected, they STOPPED paying back members now and all investors LOST their money).

Someone below has put a link to the Singapore news. In fact there are more to it. Although Singapore is investigating them, they did not stop their business as the business is legal and so far, no Singaporean have failed to receive their commissions as promised. Thus, the government cannot stop them yet.

The news published that the founder, director and group president is someone named James Phang but he is NOT the owner. Isnā?Tt this quite strange ? At the end of the game, James Phang can just disappear from the Company easily and claimed that he was just ā?oemployedā?¯. Such trick always happened in scam businesses.

Now, the Company has STOPPED paying commissions and interests to members with the excuse that the Singapore government has freezed their bank account while under investigation. Do you think their boss will be so stupid to keep much monies in the bank to be freezed ? They are all transferred away. Itā?Ts just an excuses not to pay back to members and members are only paid ā?oe-bonus-pointsā?¯ which is cashless. If they wish to convert to cash, they have to recruit new members to pay them cash and the recruiter less out trom the amount. So victims act like Vampires and ā?oforcedā?¯ to victimise other victims if they wish to get their monies back. And their victims will later transform to vampires and the scam carries onā?¦..


3) MOBILWALLET - This Company owned by 2 young men, Stanley & Rey Gan, office in Queens Avenue Park has collect multi-millions the last 2 years.
Claimed that they tied up with Telekoms, Utility Board payment like Water & Electricity bills, even Maybank got fooled by them. Advertisement Billboards everywhere. They STOPPED paying back their members few months ago and the members cannot do anything because they are made to sign an agreement unaware that they have to claims if the company stopped paying them by CHANGING terms and policies.


4) Water businesses - Oxygenated and alkaline water products - Some of these are bottled water and some are filters or equipment that claimed the trick.. One of the better known Company that sold ā?ooxygenā?¯ water is SITO(supposed to stand for Selangor International Trading Organiszation and claimed Selangor State Government owned some share in it). The key person and founder is a Dato Robert Ong from Rawang but his name is no longer in the business now. Their products are sold for RM2 to
RM3 for a 350ml bottle and now concentrating mostly in the Indian market.
Their Chinese and Malays market are long gone since a year or 2 ago.
Their customers are made to believe that their water has more oxygen and able to give miraculous effects for the body. Water is H2O, how to put more O into it ? Anyone knows how much oxygen do we breathe into our body everyday at FOC ? Latest news is that this SITO Company is going to create new label to market under a new Company since the SITO name has already gone bad. Someone informed that this Company is owing a lot of money(due to refunds) to ex-stockists but just refuse to pay them.
(Latest news, SITO shifted to another place and their MLM business has closed but planning to start again with a different name, beware !!) Alkaline Products - Can anyone explain how it can work for the body ? The stomachā?Ts gastric liquid is so acidic that water of any pH that goes through it will not make any difference.


5) Car Fuel Booster - K-Link, the famous scam MLM Company that sold the footpatch TAKARA, later the ā?ocock-ringā?¯ and energy-card launched the patrol-saving pills last year. Got so hot that even grocery shops are selling for them. Recently many of these cars that used the pills are rushing to the workshops to clean the residual. Few months ago, another MLM Company launched a fuel booster gadget, claimed that saves up to 20% fuel, that is attached to the cigarette lighter. Started off well using binary plan but businese begin to fade now and most users find it NOT effective.


6) Perfumery Products(eg. Lampe Berger & Bel Air)(more details later)..
Lampe Berger is not so hot now in the neighbouring countries but there are still new victims every month in Malaysia . Must thanks to those who have contributed and kept the thread alive here in Kopitiam. Bel-Air have closed in Malaysia . LB is almost zero in Singapore . This perfumery product from France with over 100 years history is just bottles and fragrance(check the factoryā?Ts website) but the Company marketing them in Asia claimed ā?oaromatheraphyā?¯ products. Hong Kong TVB aired a program that exposed their scam but their members claimed that HKā?Ts TVB already apologised to them. Note that the biggest strenght in a MLM Scam is their members will go all way out to lie in order to defend for their Company. The reason is simple; these members fear that they will not be able to make their money back if the Company collapsed. Knowing that the Lampe Berger products are moving slow, they add a line of skincare products named Estebel, also claime to have over 100 years history in France.(Hardly anymore Chinese newcomers, they are now tapping the Malays in Malaysia)


7) Energy Products(eg. stone pendants, bracelets, mattress and pillows).
They use all sorts of gimmicks and demonstration to make you into believing them. They will do some tricks and demo to prove that these products really produce energy BUT is there any tricks in their demo ? So what if there really produce energy; is it good or strong enough to help the body ? The effect is actually PLACEBO which I will elaborate in a new thread soon.(more details later)


Hi-Tech products(names like bio-tech, nano-tech that claimed millions of dollars of research involved, eg Bio-Young and XKL few years ago). Most of these will claimed a professor behind them(even with name and picture of a person) or used words like ā?oU.S.A. formulaā?¯, ā?oGerman Technologyā?¯ or ā?oNanotechnologyā?¯ and no further details(more details later). If you ask for more details like the professor or factoryā?Ts address, the answer will be ā?otrade secretsā?¯.


9) Investment Schemes - SWISSCASH is the King of all. Swisscash is nearly over now but there are many similar and smaller ones that are still on.(Now, itā?Ts closed or stopped paying back members)


10) GoldQuest - This Company that claimed to be HK-based started with some non-value gold-plated coins that are sold for over RM2,000 have several names and changed products several times. QuestVacation, QuestNet, etc.
They have several offices in Amcorp Mall, PJ and their key person(in fact, the owner), a Malaysian Indian was arrested last year in Indonesia for having involved in a very big Phillipines scam. Most of their overseas offices are closed or inactive but their Malaysia business is still hot, with some ā?oenergyā?¯ products.(Can someone please provide a link which showed the news that their boss was involved in a big scam in Philippines and was arrested in last year ?)


11) Numerology & Fortune telling - A Company named Visible is using MLM to sell fortune telling classes using your birthday based on Numerology fortune telling. Prpspects will be told that they need to buy a certain ā?onumberā?¯ between 1 to 9 in the form of pendants or bracelets made of stainless steel and sold from RM600 to RM20,000. Customers, or rather victims are mostly females from rural areas. Very hot in Penang now and a number of spin-off Companies have started.


12) MJ-Life - This Company boost of a very big background with many many years of history which is NOT true. Their people or associates may be long in business but nothing to do with their MLM launched recently. Why do I consider it a scam or bad ? New members are told to pay a sum of money(up to RM1000) and you get NOTHING for it. You only get a membership can entitle you to enjoy all sorts of special price and discounts when you have medical check-ups in their centres.. They will claim all those check-ups cost more if done elsewhere. Itā?Ts not true. Only the naive and those new to medical check-ups will fall victims to them. Most members who paid the money ended up with nothing.


13) Seaweed Venture Scams - 1 such Company is located in Taman Maluri, Cheras. They will ask you to invest a few thousands ringgits for their venture of growing seaweeds in East Malaysia and you are guaranteed returns. To gain your confidence further, they will tell you your investment money is secured by ā?oinsuranceā?¯ or ā?ounit trustsā?¯ & ā?otrusteesā?¯. When you ask for further documents to prove, they will give all sorts of excuses or just ignore you because they know they cannot get you. These Seaweed scam is one of the hottest now, warn all your friends about it before they are victimised.


14) MXM(previously MGM) - This is a master scam among the younger group, very successful 2 or 3 years ago but since there moved to their big 10-storey office at Phileo Damansara and changed name to MXM, their business dropped. They collect members RM3,000 to RM4,000 with credit card monthly easy payment and in return you get a hospital benefits insurance from Pacific Insurance worth only a few hundred RMs together with some you-donā?Tt-need medical check-ups from their associate Company Pathlab. Also talk about fitness, lifestyles bullshit that is all worthless.


15) Gano Excel - This company from the north, a copycat of DXN selling Lingzhi capsules created a new Company called Gano iTouch to cash-in on the internet like e-Cosway after their Company went down the drain since the last 2 years, selling Linzhi and some no-value energy pendants and alkaline water gadgets. They provide free transport every weekend from KL to visit their Alor Star office.


16) NuLife(HK) - This Company started by some HK people has been in Malaysia for more than 10 years but they have flopped in HK and Malaysia due to bad management and a product scam making use of a prosecuted American named Dr Jeffrey Bland, found guilty of false products claim.
Since this case in the US leaked out and many Malaysians found out that the real boss in HK is a Steven Tang(he cheated many Malaysians in another scheme about 20 years ago) their business went down all the way.
Now they claim Malaysian partners cheated them and start a new Company in Malaysia . Watch out, this new Company will come out with some investment scheme idea that will get many to lose their money.


17) Arowana Fish Breeding, Oora from Germany , Biofuel(Kompleks Maluri) etc - These are some newer scams. Arowana fish venture ask you to invest some money and give you fixed return. Biofuel will tell you their Indonesia connections(just like Sunshine Empire before using Taiwan) & Oora from Germany(I never trust those cruel Germans) that market some bio-chips and a gadget that claims to give energy and therapeutic effects of accupunture, tai-chi, yoga, etc depending how you set the toy-like gadget, wear it on your body and you get the effect later. They could not explain or provide any demonstration to prove their effectiveness. Only doctors and papers claim that I will never trust. The health effect is actually PLACEBO, which I will elaborate in a different thread.

Lastly but not least, thank you for reading to the end and I hope you can come back for more details and updates or help to contribute for me to update. I hope to receive information of any scams so that I can share them here to protect others. Although most of those above-mentioned are marketed through direct-selling or MLM schemes, I will soon add non-MLM scams. Please contribute.

If you wish to send me any new information confidentially, you may email them to me at:

Good Luck..

PS. Please pass this link to your friends if you find it helpful and thank you to those who contributed or e-mailed me with informations.

How Internet Marketing People Turn Potential Customers Off

I am a fan of Internet Marketing. And in Internet Marketing, there are the so called "guru's" who have made it big. And I subscribe and purchase their information in order to be like them.

All was fine and well until Facebook and Twitter arrived. Now these Internet guru's postings seem to fill up my Twitter and Facebook pages every single day. There's a fine line between informing people about things going on in your life and being a pest.

Who the fuck wants to know that you're going to bed, or that your dog ate a new biscuit today or that you're at the airport and the weather looks nice outside. Some of these Internet gurus post the most ridiculous updates - all because they can. And worst still - their followers or friends actually kiss their ass each time they post. My goodness, how much can people suck!

There was this Internet guru who actually started a Twitter account for his dog. But the surprising thing is that there are people out there who actually FOLLOW the updates of this dog!! We all know why these people follow the postings of the dog - its called "carrying the balls of the dog owner" so that they can ask for favours in the future.

Come on people, there is more to life than sucking up to others. Get a spine! Have some balls of your own.

My life became less cluttered when I used Facebook's HIDE option to hide people like Joel Comm, Benjamin Hulme, David King, Alex Perez Prat, Steve Pohlit,.....

The next time you face people who talk too much, just HIDE them.

Increasing Crime Rate in Malaysia

Who are the Malaysian government fooling when they say the crime rate in Malaysia has fallen!

Read this article in the Star where an elderly couple was assaulted by snatch thieves.

Abductors in Taman Desa

Ed Note:  I hope someone in the Prime Ministers Department takes note of this, especially since the malaysian police seems to ignore such incidents!



Dear Friends

Yesterday night I had a most terrifying experience of my life. This happened in Taman Desa right in front of my home.

It was around 9.50pm, I was in my bedroom just stepped out from a shower when I heard a scream (my first thought was my niece (who lives with me) or my daughter in trouble) and immediately drew my window curtains to check what was happening.

I saw my niece, 2 men (tall and perhaps around 20+ to 30s years old) grabbling with her right in front of my house. A dark coloured vehicle was waiting right there.  I did the most natural thing and shouted at them. I saw them jumping into their vehicle and drove off.

We could only thank God they did not succeed in abducting her.  One could only imagine the worst.  She sufferred bruises all over her body.

She had parked her car in front of the house and just alighted from the car when  all of a sudden the vehicle drove up to her (lights not on), stopped, two men rushed out of the vehicle, pushed her, she fell, they tried to grab her, one was holding her legs and the other trying the get to her.  There was a 3rd abductor waiting at the wheel.

She remembered her friend's advice and screamed with all her might and resisting them. The guy ( she saw a Malay) even punched her nose, I believe to stop her from screaming. Fortunately the space was small for them to move in because my car (also parked there) and particularly there was a steel cable at the scene which obstructed the 2nd guy to get to her. I believe they gave up after hearing my shouts but they took her handbag which already dropped on the ground earlier when she fell.

This mail is to warn others ... the vehicle is a dark colour Toyota Estima. One of the abductor's watch and slipper (expensive stuff) were found at the scene which we handed over to the police.

Another comment about the attitude of our Malaysian police, which everyone already knows.. I called the Police  no. which was on my handphone. A man answered and I asked for his help to call the police station at Taman Desa so they may perhaps be able to chase the abductor's vehicle in time, but he told me irritatingly "pergi lah sana sendiri buat police report".  He could at least have helped gave me the tel. no. of the police depot in Taman Desa.. sigh.

Inspite of all the warnings from the internet my own niece was caught by this trick.  The vehicle parked a distance away
watching her  As soon as she came out of her car, they drove to abduct her.  All this need only take a minute and someone dear to you may be gone forever.

All I can say is be more vigilant and pray very very hard for our safety.
