How safe Malaysia really is?
Reading Man robbed of car and clothes and Average of 73 vehicles stolen daily made me shudders! How safe is Malaysia, in real sense?
Our houses are grilled all-out! Turning one into a jailhouse to the owners instead.
The roads are full of road bullies, snatch thieves and day-light robbers!
Money are being lost while in the banks, siphoned by white-collared smuts!
Drain covers and sign-boards made of metals are missing!
Illegals are free to enter the country at their own whims!
Children are molested and raped, even those in supposed-to-be safe-school-hostels are not spared!
Public-money-supported institutions are being drained-off their wealths by cronies through ill-thought schemes!
Where are the enforcement officers? Where are the guardian of the masses? Sleeping on the job? On the take? Couldn't give a hoot?
What price capitalism?

Man robbed of car and clothes
BY ANDREW SAGAYAMPETALING JAYA: An IT company manager was left by the roadside only clad in his underwear after he was robbed by a group of men in Bukit Raja, Klang.
He lost his BMW 5 Series worth about RM400,000 as well as cash and valuables amounting to RM30,000.
The 47-year-old victim had to flag down several motorists along a road in Bukit Raja yesterday before one of them took him home to get his clothes.
In the 9am incident, the victim was leaving his home in PJS 11 here for work in Bandar Sunway when he was cornered by about seven men armed with parang and meat cleavers.
Subang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Fuad Talib said four men overpowered and bundled him into the back seat of his car while the other three trailed them in another car.
The armed men stopped at a secluded spot in Subang Jaya, where they assaulted the victim before forcing him to strip to his underwear.
“They forced the victim to hand over his three credit cards, an ATM card and the pin number before they drove to a bank and withdrew RM1,200,” he said.
The men also took the victim's mobile phones, laptop, jewellery and other valuables.
After abandoning him at a roadside in Bukit Raja, the armed men fled in the victim's car, ACP Mohd Fuad added.
He said police were looking for seven men aged between 20 and 40 years.
In another incident, police believe that the bogus taxi driver who had been on the prowl for over a month in Brickfields and here has struck in Subang Jaya.
ACP Mohd Fuad said yesterday that a 40-year-old clerk in Seri Kembangan was approached by a taxi driver.
On the pretext of asking for directions, the taxi driver coaxed her to follow him to his taxi, where he forced her inside.
He then drove her to a secluded spot in an industrial area in Serdang, where she was robbed and left at a roadside.
Those with information can call the police hotline at 03-8948 4822 or 03-211 5999, or SMS 32728.

Average of 73 vehicles stolen daily
KUALA LUMPUR: An average of RM1.53mil was lost to vehicle thefts every day last year.
At the same time, insurance companies incurred claims amounting to RM557mil for vehicle thefts.
The General Insurance Association of Malaysia (PIAM) said this implied that last year an average of 73 vehicles, including cars, vans, lorries and motorcycles, were stolen nationwide every day.
PIAM chairman Anuar Mohd Hassan said between 2003 and last year, the number of stolen vehicles (which were insured) had skyrocketed by nearly 33%, with 26,566 cases last year and 19,936 cases in the previous year.

DCP Mustafa said more than 65,000 vehicles were stolen last year, adding that the police statistics were different from PIAM's because they included non-insured vehicles.
Vehicle theft, he said, was one of the most common crimes in the country and this was a cause for concern.
