Email from a friend

Dear Friends,

I would like to share a life saving incident that all our loved ones needs to be aware.

Last Saturday, 11th April 2009, my girlfriend and I were in Mid Valley ??he Gardens??for a movie. We finished around 8.40pm.  I had parked my car just right above the ??SC Signature Cinema??on the 5th floor.. As we were getting into our car, we realized that the parking fee had not been paid. We decided to stop by the Auto pay station on the lower parking level to do the payment.

 We drove 2 floors down and couldn't?? locate the Auto Pay Station. We decided to park our car at 2nd floor wondering if there should be a pay station in the mall at the lobby area. My girlfriend decided to wait in the car as she was on the phone. I was walking into the mall looking for an Auto Pay Station, failing to find one, I decided to walk 1 floor down.  About minutes time, my girlfriend called me on my mobile phone and she sounded terrified . She was shouting for help. She told me that there is a guy who is trying to get into the car. The guy was trying to get into the car very calmly, pretending getting into his own car. He failed to open and refuses to continue trying as he noticed that she was on the phone calling for help. Luckily, she had locked the door just right after I got out earlier. I run up as quickly as possible to reach her.

The moment I reached to the parking area, I saw the guy walking away slowly from the car. He was walking towards the ramp heading to the upper level. As I ran up the ramp, though I could still see him I realized that I was running away from my car again. It could be teamwork just to divert my presence from my car. I got back to my girlfriend quickly to calm her down.

We made an official report to the Mid Valley security management to investigate on the CCTV. It was a lesson learned for us to be more careful in the parking zones. I?? happy that my girlfriend is still here with me today. Please be watchful in parking zones.

Tips that we should be aware:

Never leave valuable items or your family members alone in the car at parking location.

Thank you.

Summary from Low Yat Discussion on Why is Crime Rate Rising In Malaysia

Posted by Kian, Ting

Source of Discussion (http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1088880)

From the source of discussion I have read from Low Yatt .com some of the main resons for crime is as listed in the following bullet points.


  • Global Recession

One of the forum contributer stated that one of the causes of why crime rates are in the rise is due to the current global recession, which contributed to the rise on unemployments. Quoted from the contributor "Though our PM & advisers lied through their teeth that Malaysia will not enter a recession, it happened anyway. By the way the same ministers and advisers said the number of jobless people is small, just 30,000. I think the real figure is 60,000 so there you have it. The reason why crime is up.



  • Income & Renumeration for Police is Low Compared to Other Countries
Causing polices to commit crime to take bribes or caused them to be less motivated in taking initiatives to prevent crimes.
  • Media Influence 
Some blame it on the movies that is giving ideas to the culprits on how to commit crime. 
  • Rape Crimes Caused by Lack of Sex Education (in the High-Schooling Periods)

  • Punishment for Rape Cases is not Severe Enough
One of the contributers mentioned that Malaysia is too lenient to rape criminals, directly quoting the contributor "No China/Yemeni-style execution for pedo/rape cases".
  • Salary and Wages in Malaysia for Employees is not Up to Market Standard
Our salary is not wat its suppose to bean average malaysian wif degree certificate shud get roughly around RM3500 per month as basic, and those with no degree or diploma could possibly get RM1.5-1.8k per month, this is what leads to crimes.

Malaysia want us to buy original stuffs , they want us to spend more on products , they want us to avoid bribes but not willing to help with anything. With the low income and wages we cannot help Malaysia stimulate the economy our buying power is too low and but government is turning a deft ear on this issue. 
  • Malaysia Citizens are too lazy to Report Police for Crime Incidents
One of the main reason, why criminals are becoming braver is that we are too lazy to report to police, so police would think that there are few crime to focus. If there is active report on crimes in one area, then at least police would know the location of the active crime.
  • Too Many Illegal Immigrants in the Country
