At number six, here is the accolade:

6. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Malaysia also takes pride in its spectacular landscapes, a culture that begs to be discovered and explored and… a history of violence that made way too many victims. Presently, the state’s capital is said to be one of the most dangerous cities in the world, as the crime rate increased with 70% in the last three years. It wasn’t a peace on Earth display before either, but now things seem to keep getting worse.

Cheras man stabbed to death in quarrel (Updated)

KUALA LUMPUR (June 16, 2013): A 55-year-old man was stabbed to death by an unknown assailant following a heated argument near Berjaya Times Square on Jalan Imbi today.

Wong Fook Lum of Petaling Jaya who died of a stab wound on his right chest was found slumped in his Mercedes Benz by police who were alerted by a bystander.

An ice-cream company delivery man who witnessed the attack told police that at about 11am, he spotted Wong and another man embroiled in a argument on Jalan 1/77B.

He said minutes later, Wong was seen getting into his car and his suspected killer who was brandishing a knife followed him into the vehicle.

However, moments later the assailant alighted from the car and walked towards a street behind Sungai Wang Plaza. The witness also told police that the slim and small built man continued loitering in the vicinity of the area. However, he was nowhere to be seen when police arrived.

Dang Wangi police chief ACP Zainuddin Ahmad said police are on the lookout for the unidentified assailant and are investigating the motive behind the murder.

He said the victim's body was sent to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital for a post mortem and urged those who have information on the whereabouts of his killer to call the KL police hotline at 03-2115 9999.

The man was one of the closest uncles of my friend. My friend's story @ Facebook here.

Gang robs 70 people

A gang of 10 robbers held up 70 customers of a popular steamboat eatery in Taman Mutiara Barat, Cheras in Kuala Lumpur on early Sunday morning and relieved them of their money and valuables.

In the 4.30am robbery on Sunday, the robbers fled with RM20,000 from them.

Two of the victims had reported the robbery to Cheras district police. They told police the suspects arrived at the restaurant in two cars and several motorcycles.

They said the suspects blocked both end of Jalan Mutiara Raya before rounding up the customers, mostly pub goers who were having their meals outside the restaurant, and order them to surrender their cash and valuables.

Cheras police confirmed two of the victims had reported the robbery them. They are seeking others to come forward to make their reports.

Spate of robberies puts Putrajaya anti-crime fight under spotlight

Tony Pua highlighted the force’s slow move to restructure the police resources and focus in crime fighting. - File pic

KUALA LUMPUR, June 13 — The recent spate of robberies in the Klang Valley have again placed Putrajaya’s anti-crime policies under the spotlight and highlights the need to reform the police force, the DAP’s Tony Pua said today.

Last Saturday, nearly 70 people were robbed at an open air steamboat restaurant in Cheras by a group of 10 persons armed with machetes and iron rods. The shop owners and patrons lost more than RM20,000 and at least 2 of the customers were assaulted as a result of being too tardy with coughing up with their valuables.

Over the past 2 nights, there were 2 incidences of armed gang robberies carried out at open air restaurants in Kepong, Cheras and Kajang on each night despite the police claiming to have detain three suspects yesterday afternoon.

“Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Najib Razak himself promised Malaysias a ‘war against crime’ on Saturday when launching the ‘United Against Crime’ programme with much fanfare.

“The newly appointed Inspector General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar proudly announced on his appointment date on May 16 that he wants to make safety and security his priority and return the streets to the people.

“But where is this “war against crime?” Pua, who is also Petaling Jaya Utara MP, said in a statement.

The DAP leader added that the robberies were akin to the criminals “thumbing their noses” at the authorities when they were allowed to rob 2 eateries and then proceeded to enjoy and “binge” themselves at a local pub.

The pub was also robbed after the group refused to pay.

Pua said the government has the moral duty to admit the shortcomings in its anti-crime policies, adding that they could no longer dismiss rising crime as a mere “perception”.

“If the Prime Minister and the new IGP is serious about this ‘war against crime’, they must implement the key recommendations of the 2005 Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) recommendations for the Royal Malaysian Police,” he said.

However, Pua noted that the Najib administration has so far ignored most of the recommendations including the refusal to establish the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC).

The Petaling Jaya MP also highlighted the force’s slow move to restructure the police resources and focus in crime fighting, a second key recommendation of the RCI.

The lack of and unbalanced manpower management have often been cited as the key facto behind the police’s ineffectiveness in curbing crime. The problem was also highlighted in the findings of the RCI.

“We hope that under the new Home Minister, Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi, the Government will no longer deem the severity of the crime issue being a matter of ‘public perception’.

“Rampant crime is real, Malaysians do not feel safe and the only perception of crime that needs to change is that belonging to the Barisan Nasional government,” Pua said.

What 'War Against Crime' when 'Audacious Criminals' are terrorizing the streets?

Of Utusan, the lying paper and carmakers Volkswagen Golf, Peugeot 308 and Honda Jazz Hybrid, Proton Preve and Perodua Alza

Carmakers refute Utusan’s price slash claim

By Zurairi AR
June 13, 2013

People have a look at the Preve when it was first launched in Kuala Lumpur last year. This Proton model was cited by Utusan as one of several makes of cars where prices have been reduced.KUALA LUMPUR, June 13 — Carmakers Volkswagen and Peugeot have both refuted claims of a price slash this year, as reported in Umno-backed broadsheet Utusan Malaysia three days ago as part of proof that the ruling coalition had fulfilled its election pledges.

Utusan had reported that Volkswagen, Peugeot, Honda and local marques Proton and Perodua had reduced the prices for 10 of their models by up to 11 per cent from January this year, presenting the list as proof that the Barisan Nasional (BN) government has fulfilled its pledge for lower car prices in its Election 2013 manifesto.

“Please be advised, the price on the image is incorrect. The Golf price has always been RM157,888 from the time of launch. Not RM169,888,” a representative from Volkswagen Malaysia commented on its Facebook page, referring to its sports hatchback model Golf.

A user had previously posted an image of Utusan’s report, which claimed that the Golf’s price has been slashed by 7.1 per cent from RM169,888 to RM157,888.

Speaking to The Malaysian Insider, a dealer for the German marque confirmed that the Mark 7 1.4 TSI version of the Golf, which was launched earlier this year has always been priced starting from RM157,888.

Peugeot Malaysia also has responded on its Facebook page to the claim by Utusan that the price of its 308 model has been slashed by 11 per cent from RM115,663 to RM102,888.

“Without prejudice, nothing was issued by us, we were not consulted before the article went to print and have no association with the news contained therein. The prices shown appear to be the 308 Turbo pre-facelift and 308 VTi which are in fact two different variants of the Peugeot 308,” said the French marque.

A dealer for Peugeot told The Malaysian Insider that the facelifted 308 VTi has always been priced at RM102,888 since it was launched in the middle of last year, and its 308 Turbo variant is priced at RM121,888.

Utusan also claimed that a Honda Jazz Hybrid now costs RM89,900 after a 2.5 per cent reduction from RM92,187.

A check with the Japanese marque confirmed that the completely knocked-down (CKD) version of the model assembled in its Alor Gajah plant has always been sold at RM89,900 since its launch late last year. The completely built-up (CBU) version released previously costs RM94,800.

The Malay daily also reported further price cuts for local models Persona, Preve, Saga and Exora from Proton, and Alza, Viva and Myvi from Perodua.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has reiterated his polls pledge to reduce car prices in a tweet late last month, promising that car prices will be reduced in stages until 2017.

On the same day, International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed also said that the government had promised to trim car prices between 20 and 30 per cent over five years, as outlined in BN’s election manifesto.

“In fact, since October last year, the price of 10 popular models in the country have come down an average 7.3 per cent,” he told reporters after attending the ministry’s monthly gathering, the first after Mustapa was re-appointed to the Cabinet.

Both BN and opposition Pakatan Rakyat have pledged cheaper car prices in the run up to the May polls, although through different mechanisms.

Nazir of CIMB, Azran of AirAsia X vs Umno-owned Utusan, Najib of Umno. Guan Eng: "Now everyone should be like Nazir" ;)

Guan Eng: More Malaysians should be like Nazir

By Opalyn Mok
June 12, 2013

Lim accused Utusan of setting Malaysians against each other. — Picture by KE OoiGEORGE TOWN, June 12 ― Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng today commended Datuk Seri Nazir Razak for his outspokenness, even as the CIMB Group boss continues to come under attack for defending AirAsia X CEO Azran Osman Rani for the same trait.

Lim urged Malaysians to emulate Nazir in speaking their minds despite the risk of backlash.

“I hope his brother (Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak) can be just as brave as him,” he said while condemning a news article in Utusan Malaysia that had labelled Nazir as “anti-Malay” for his praise of Azran.

Azran had criticised Utusan Malaysia for an inflammatory headline, “Apa lagi Cina mau?”, which it ran immediately after the Election 2013. This led to the newspaper to take aim at him and proclaim a boycott against advertising from the airline that he helms.

On Monday, Nazir defended Azran for his forthright attitude, saying that this is the “mark of a leader”, leading to attacks against the banker.

Lim also accused Utusan Malaysia today of turning Malaysians on one another through what he called racially-toned articles.

“Malaysians do not want to be enemies with each other so I hope more Malaysians will be like Nazir,” the DAP secretary-general said in a press conference at his office this afternoon.

Malay-Muslim groups have criticised both Nazir and Azran for their views, branding both of them as “anti-Malay” and for forgetting “their roots”.

Yesterday, the Muslim Consumer Association of Malaysia had in a statement reminded Nazir and Azran of their roots and told them not to be arrogant because of their wealth, position and property.

In a blog post reproduced by Umno-owned Utusan Malaysia today, former information minister Tan Sri Zainuddin Maidin accused Nazri of plunging brother Najib and Umno deeper into a post-polls “crisis of confidence” by coming to Azran’s defence.

He said Nazir, the CEO of CIMB Group and the younger brother to Prime Minister Najib, had likely thought that Barisan Nasional (BN) would recapture some of lost support from the Chinese had Utusan Malaysia not targeted the community.

“But in truth, Nazir only added to the problems faced by Datuk Seri Najib and Umno,” the former minister said in a blog posting that was published in Utusan Malaysia today.

Zainuddin further asked if labelling Azran forthright and frank meant Nazir was joining the ranks of those who have accused Utusan Malaysia of being racist.

Zainuddin went on to justify Utusan’s “brave” backing of Umno in fighting off the rival elements that have eroded public confidence in the government, which he said had opened the newspaper to financial risks.

AirAsia X CEO finds backing from Najib’s brother for ‘speaking his mind’ on Utusan

June 10, 2013

Azran has come under fire after criticising Utusan Malaysia for its racial instigation.KUALA LUMPUR, June 10 — Once scorched for speaking his mind, Azran Osman Rani earned high praise today from CIMB Group CEO Datuk Seri Nazir Razak, who commended the AirAsia X chief executive’s forthright manner as the “mark of a leader”.
The captain of the long-haul budget airline, which will be making its market debut next month, had been the public target of Umno-owned Utusan Malaysia’s venom for much of last month, after he criticised the Malay broadsheet for what he saw as racial instigation in the aftermath of the May 5 polls that split the country apart.
Nazir, the lead banker for AirAsia X’s listing on Malaysia’s main bourse, praised Azran for speaking his mind and doing what he believed was the right thing.
“That is the mark of a leader,” Nazir said at AirAsia X’s prospectus launch here this morning.
The remarks appeared to be in reference to Azran’s run-in with Utusan Malaysia, although Nazir made no specific mention of the newspaper.
The younger brother to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak added that it was these qualities in the airline’s management team which had seen it register a 70 per cent annual growth in its revenues since it launched its first flight in November 2007.
Azran had come under the right-wing daily’s hammer last month after criticising Utusan on his Twitter account, @azranosmanrani, for what he reportedly saw as a racial instigation in the aftermath of the May 5 polls.
He was also reported to have criticised Malay group Perkasa for its hardline stance as an irrelevant organisation that had caused Malays to be myopic.
In response, the paper had published daily views from Perkasa leaders, the Muslim Consumers Society of Malaysia and pro-Umno activists who slammed Azran, branding him “arrogant” and a Malay who had forgotten his roots.
AirAsia X chairman Tan Sri Rafizah Aziz and director Datuk Seri Kalimullah Hassan had also come under attack from various groups after the duo had defended Azran’s comments.
Self-declared Malay rights champion Perkasa, the Ex-Servicemen Association of Malaysia, Malaysian Reformists Movement and the Malaysian Malay Network were among the groups that lashed out at both Rafidah and Kalimullah and demanded the duo apologise for their remarks against Utusan which they say is the voice of the Malays.
Perkasa’s acting president Datuk Abdul Rahman Bakar had rallied to the paper’s defence and blasted Azran, saying the latter could not have climbed up to his present position without the “Malay power fought for by Utusan Malaysia”.
“Has Azran never thought also that the licence issued by the government to AirAsia is because at first the airline was owned by Malays?” Abdul Rahman was quoted as saying in one such report.
On May 19, Utusan columnist Awang Selamat — the nom-de-plume for the paper’s collective editorial voice — told the Umno-owned paper to stop taking the airline’s ads until its sister company’s chief executive apologises for criticising the broadsheet’s racist piece.
“Awang would like to suggest that the Utusan Group not accept any AirAsia ad as long as there is no apology. Let the company’s advertisement go to another paper, but not Utusan.
“Without AirAsia, Awang Selamat will not have any problem. Furthermore, the value of the advertisement given is very small, lower than advertisements for herbal and hair treatments,” it said.
The columnist also compared Asia’s biggest budget flier to Malaysia Airlines (MAS), and described the national carrier as having better service and a strong nationalist spirit.
“To those who serve we are polite, especially the Malaysian airline whose service is better and thick with nationalism,” it said.

GEORGE TOWN: The victim killed in the collapse of the Second Penang Bridge's flyover ramp was on his way home after buying dinner at a hawker centre in Bayan Lepas.

Tajudin Zainal Abidin

Nur Aina Syazwani, 11, the daughter of the late Tajudin Zainal Abidin, said her father called home at 6.30pm to ask what they wanted to have for dinner.
"But by 8pm, he did not return home," said Syazwani.
Tajudin's wife, Sharifah Ramli then went out to search for him.
Sharifah refused to talk to the press.
Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin said that Sharifah told him that she continued calling him but there was no reply.
"When it was revealed that the car crushed under the rubble was a silver Kelisa, she had a very bad feeling," Sim said.
He added that she was almost sure something had happened to Tajudin after seeing pictures of a partial car number plate on the Internet.
The body of Tajudin will be buried at the Kampung Perlis cemetery in Bukit Merah Saturday.

Seorang lagi lelaki yang masih belum dikenal pasti identitinya ditemui mati di dalam sebuah kereta. - Gambar oleh K.E. OoiGEORGE TOWN, 7 Jun — Polis mengenal pasti pemilik kereta jenis Perodua Kelisa yang terperangkap di dalam runtuhan akibat dihempap oleh tanjakan konkrit susur keluar Jambatan Kedua Pulau Pinang di Batu Maung di sini sebagai Rohaizad Md Sofar.
Jurucakap polis berkata bagaimanapun polis tidak dapat mengesahkan sama ada Rohaizad, 43, yang beralamat di Sungai Dua, Gelugor di sini, adalah mangsa yang masih tersepit di dalam kenderaan itu.
“Kita meminta kerjasama semua pihak yang mengenali pemilik kenderaan itu untuk membantu siasatan bagi mengenal pasti mangsa,” katanya.

Semalam, runtuhan penyambung susur keluar Jambatan Kedua Pulau Pinang di Lebuhraya Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu di Batu Maung itu menghempap sebuah kereta dan seorang mangsa dipercayai terperangkap di dalam runtuhan itu.
Dalam kejadian itu, dua bahagian konkrit iaitu 180 ton konkrit keras dan 100 ton konkrit lembut runtuh secara tiba-tiba dan menghempap sebuah kenderaan.
Tiga orang iaitu dua pekerja asing dan seorang wanita tempatan cedera dalam kejadian itu.
Sementara itu, kerja mengangkat sisa runtuhan tanjakan konkrit yang dipotong sedang giat dijalankan oleh pasukan penyelamat di kawasan kejadian.

Katanya setelah runtuhan tanjakan itu dialih, barulah bomba dapat mengeluarkan mangsa yang tersepit di dalam kereta akibat dihempap tanjakan konkrit itu.
Beliau berkata lebih 300 anggota pasukan yang terdiri daripada polis, bomba, Jabatan Pertahanan Awam, pekerja syarikat pembinaan dan kontraktor sedang bertungkus-lumus mengalihkan runtuhan konkrit dan besi seberat beratus-ratus tan itu. — Bernama

SINGAPORE - Man's best friend saved a woman in distress.
MediaCorp actress Chris Tong's dog attacked her robber, preventing him from grabbing the keys to her four-year-old Mercedes-Benz SLKClass car.
The incident happened at 1am yesterday morning in Cheras, a Kuala Lumpur (KL) suburb.
Tong, 30, who is based in KL, was out buying supper.
She was walking with her year-old Maltese, Baby, to her car parked at the side of the street when she was shoved from behind.
She was sent sprawling, bruising the left side of her face.
She also suffered scrapes and bruises to her arms and legs.
She said in a phone interview from KL last night: "I was caught unawares because the man came from behind and I was pushed to the ground.
"At that point, I was too scared to think. My mind went blank."
The man tried to grab her car keys but Baby started barking and tried to attack him.
The man kicked the dog. Fortunately, people who heard the commotion started shouting at the man. The frightened robber then ran off.
Tong said the attacker was tall and had tanned skin.

A-G to proceed with case against Riduan Masmud over rape of girl

By ZUHRIN AZAM AHMAD

Restaurant owner Riduan Masmud.

PUTRAJAYA: Attorney General Tan Sri Gani Patail has vowed to press on with the statutory rape charges against restaurant owner Riduan Masmud amid an initial move by the prosecution to drop the case following Riduan's "marriage" to the 13-year-old victim.
He said he had also asked the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to investigate the claim by the girl's father that Riduan paid him RM5,000 as compensation, which was handed down by the state's "Mahkamah Adat".
Gani said they were collecting more evidence, including the DNA report.
"We have never dropped the charge against him.
"I have directed my officers to gather more evidence and we will proceed with the case," he told reporters here on Wednesday.
Riduan's case shocked the nation after he was charged with statutory rape of the girl and later declaring that he had married her.

Latest update:

No AirAsia ads till Azran Osman Rani apologises, ‘Utusan’ says

Comment by The Malaysian Insider on May 18, 2013

AirAsia X CEO’s Utusan comments raise troubling responses

COMMENT, May 18 — In the mainstream media, AirAsia X chief executive Azran Osman Rani is being vilified for expressing disgust at Utusan Malaysia’s blatant racism against the Chinese community in the aftermath of Election 2013.

But Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s declaration that Malaysians unhappy with the election results can leave the country is being explained as a “personal opinion” and not the government’ stance.

Why the double standards?

And labelling Azran as anti-Malay is the unkindest cut as he only criticised Utusan Malaysia for its racist stance; he never attacked Malays. If anything, he should be lauded for his stand against racism.

Thus far, all mainstream media can do is trot out either discredited politicians and mosquitoes to agitate for action against Azran — ranging from Wanita Umno leader Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil to former Penang PKR Wanita chief Aminah Abdullah, saying in a text message that Azran’s act was akin to “waging war” against his own people.

Really? Why can’t Azran post “I am Malaysian. I am anti-racism. I am disgusted by Utusan’s editorial stance” in his Facebook and Twitter account without being slammed for it.

AirAsia X chairman Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz had to insist that Azran’s comment was made in his personal capacity after being twigged about it by her wing successor Shahrizat.

“No one has the right to deny others like Azran to state their views, albeit personal ones, in the social media on any issue,” Rafidah had said.

Didn’t Shahrizat say the same thing last year over her family’s cattle farm project having nothing to do her with her political career?

“It is a personal thing. They mentioned Shahrizat when I had nothing to do with it. I want to clear my name and my family’s name,” she said when testifying in her defamation suit against PKR politicians.

The thing is, Azran is not the minority. Most Malaysians will not accept or tolerate the blatant racism of Utusan Malaysia that appeared on May 7.

The mainstream media should instead focus on the racism that seems to prevail in Malaysia, rather than pick on a Malaysian who has stood up against such racism.

We need to tell the mainstream media and politicians like Ahmad Zahid that there can be a difference of opinion in Malaysia that should not result in vilification or asking people to quit or leave the country because they are not with you.

Utusan Malaysia, Ahmad Zahid and their supporters are not the Malaysia that we are now or aspire to be, especially under the 1 Malaysia concept.

Their responses are troubling and if it is the dominant notion, then we have become a nightmare of the Malaysian dream.

HAPPY LABOUR DAY: Radio DJs' silent protest over MCA's negative ads - www.facebook.com/fb.top.news - www.988.com.my

Radio DJs' silent protest over MCA's negative ads

11:04AM May 1, 2013

Deejays at the Chinese radio station 988 have posted black-and-white pictures of themselves on their official Facebook fanpages in a silent protest against MCA's election campaign advertisements aired by the station.

Some of them have also posted these pictures on their own Facebook pages with the message, "We exercise our own discretion. The station's advertisements do not represent our stance."

Malaysiakini has been given to understand that the DJs are unhappy with the 988 for broadcasting a number MCA's negative advertisements over the radio station, which they feel are libellous and will sow fears among their audience.
These advertisement include one that says "a vote of DAP is a vote for PAS", and that once Pakatan is in power, it will hamper the growth of the country's economy and implement hudud.

Insiders say the DJs raised their opposition to the BN election advertisements with the station management before the broadcasts started, but to no avail despite backing from some of their senior managers.
Halt advertisements, say listeners

However, a source stressed that the move was merely the personal action of the DJs and did not reflect the official stance of 988.

MCA's direct attack on DAP through these advertisements have already drawn the ire of listeners and netizens alike.

A number of them have also expressed their dissatisfaction on the station's official Facebook page and have demanded that the advertisements be halted.
A check today showed that the black-and-white pictures of the DJs have been removed from the 988 webpage.

It is learned that radio station management issued a notice to all staff stating that the protest action violates company policy and that the black-and-white pictures must be removed by today or disciplinary action would be taken.
988 station is owned by the MCA-controlled Star Publications (M) Bhd.

Malaysiakini tried to contact the senior manager for human resources and administration at Star Publications, Henry Asokan, for comment, but without success.
The Star too has been running advertisements saying, "a vote of DAP is a vote for PAS".

Ads not endorsed by radio station

Besides the protest from the 988 DJs, an anonymous group has created a Chinese-language video criticising the MCA election advertisements, which has been circulating online.

"You may not see us working behind the scenes, but you can hear our voices on TV and on radio... Of late, the mainstream media has been continuously broadcasting disgusting campaign ads, and we feel both sad and angry," the group says in the video.

It adds: "Angry, not just because of the media's political stance, but also the false information contained within this series of ads. The slanderous and fictitious content continuously spreads fear and threats.
"We refuse to record these irresponsible ads. We support a two-party system. Give us back a blue sky (clean) advertising."

On the night of April 23, 988 station responded via Facebook and Twitter, saying that what it aired were purely paid advertisements and not a part of the station's programming, endorsement, or stance.

"As a broadcaster, we hope Malaysians will use the vote in their hands and perform their duty and their rights wisely," it said.

Do you still BELIEVE THE LIE that crime rate is down?

Customs D-G II shot dead on way to Putrajaya office

UPDATED @ 12:25:57 AM 27-04-2013

April 26, 2013

PUTRAJAYA, April 26 — Royal Malaysian Customs deputy director-general II Datuk Shaharuddin Ibrahim, 58, was shot dead near a traffic light near the Putrajaya police station today, police said.

Media reports say a gunman on a motorcycle shot Shaharuddin about 8.40am at Leboh Wawasan coming from Dengkil. He was rushed to hospital and immediately wheeled into the intensive care unit but was pronounced dead at 9.20am.

Police have cordoned off the area where Shaharuddin (picture) was shot and are checking the CCTV feeds.

KL police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohamad Salleh confirmed the incident and that police are questioning Shaharuddin’s driver to establish what happened.

The shooting in the country’s administrative capital increases the spotlight on crime in Malaysia, just days after armed men knifed 52-year-old Irene Ong to death in Bukit Gasing, Petaling Jaya, in an attempted daytime robbery,

Putrajaya has been battling perception that crime is on the increase, saying that from 2009 to 2012 the national crime rate dropped by 27 per cent while street crime fell by 39.7 per cent.

Police also said the national crime rate fell six per cent in the first quarter of 2013 against the same period last year.

It is learnt that the gunman fired three shots but only one hit Shaharuddin in the neck. The Customs officer’s body has been sent to Hospital Kuala Lumpur mortuary for a post-mortem.

The New Straits Times quoted Customs director-general Datuk Seri Khazali Ahmad as saying Shaharuddin’s death was a great loss to the department.

It was understood that Shaharuddin would be buried at the Precinct 20 cemetery here this evening.

Shaharuddin leaves behind his wife Datin Rahimah Ibrahim and two children, a daughter and a son.

In cyberspace, a daughter remembers ‘mother, hero’

April 22, 2013

People trek on a hiking trail at Bukit Gasing, in Petaling Jaya February 22, 2011.—File pic KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 — On Saturday, Ong Ai Sam, 52, fended off two robbers in a desperate bid to buy her daughter time to escape. She succeeded, but paid for it with her life.
This is the message her daughter wishes she could hear.
My mother, my hero
I remember. I remember everything.
A few months ago in English class, my teacher asked us to write about the person who we admire. I wrote about my mum. A month ago for my English March Test paper, the topic I wrote about was “My Hero”. I wrote about my mum. During my test, I had writer’s block so I simply wrote out everything i knew about my mum: her childhood, achievements, etc. My mum is my hero. She always has been, she always will be.
20th April 2013.
Mama left early in the morning for some event her Kiwanis Club’s K-Kids had planned. She came back home with lunch for me and Milo ais. I remember grumbling to her because I didn’t want to follow my parents jungle trekking. I did anyway. We had to set up a trail for my father’s running group so mama was carrying a bag with just plain paper in it. I remember grumbling to my mum as we went up and down the hills of Gasing. She told me we’d be out soon. After two hours of trekking in the jungle, we finally hit the road. It was the road in Gasing leading up to the temple. We decided to walk back down to the car.
As we walked down the steep road, there was nobody there. No people, no cars. Just the two of us. As we nearly reached the first house, we heard a motorbike sound from behind. We turned around and saw two men on a motorbike. Mama said walk further in onto the pavement so we did. As the motorbike drove past us, they stopped. The man from behind jumped off. My mum pushed me to the back and told me to go. The man attacked my mum straight away, without saying any words. The knife he used was just a normal kitchen knife, the blade was about 10cm long. As my mum tried to protect herself, she turned to her left, only to be stabbed twice on the back of her right shoulder. She was struggling to escape. The attacker then proceeded to stab the back of her left shoulder. Mama tried so hard to escape. She fell on the ground and the attacker pulled her on the road and stabbed her thigh. I tried to help but the attacker thrust the knife my way so I ran back further. I couldn’t do anything but scream at the top of my lungs. I screamed and screamed. The attacker hopped on the bike and rode off.
I remember.
I remember watching my mum’s body lying on the road, all the blood oozing out. The attacker did not manage to get any of my mum’s belongings. She told me to call my dad. I ran down the hill looking for help. The first house I went to, the maid (who saw everything that happened) ran in and did not even try to help me. I ran further down and saw a car. They saw me and stopped. And I told them what happened. The driver, Mr Lai, told me to get in and we drive up to my mum. Mr Lai called the ambulance and the police while I tried to keep my mum conscious. There was blood everywhere. My mum just kept saying “save me”. Her voice was so week. My dad reached the site 10 minutes later, after running all the way. Mama kept telling us that she couldn’t breathe. I prayed and prayed. She was slowly losing herself. We tried our best to keep her awake and conscious. The police arrived. We put her in the police car since the ambulance hadn’t arrived. As we reached down the road, the ambulance was there so they transferred mum into the ambulance.
I remember.
I remember sitting in the ambulance, holding my mum’s hand and trying to talk to her but she didn’t respond. I remember crying. The paramedics were doing all they could do at that point. I remember calling Eu Lim, who was at church to pray for my mum. We reached the hospital in three minutes. They rushed my mum to the emergency was. I wasn’t allowed to enter and I was so, so scared. My dad had followed Mr Lai’s car and they hadn’t reached yet. I had to settle my mum’s registration and then I had to talk to the police. My dad arrived. Then my friends arrived. I sat at the doorway of the hospital, praying and praying. 10 minutes later, my dad came out and told me my mum didn’t make it. I dropped in the middle of the hospital floor, screaming. Everyone was looking at me, but I didn’t care. A bunch of doctors came out to get me; they took me to a special room. They questioned me and they told me about how my mum was already gone when we were in the ambulance. They tried their best to revive her.
I remember.
I remember coming home. My friends just sat in silence. I just sat in silence. I was covered in blood, mama’s blood. I had to get myself together. I had to bathe. We broke the news to my sister through Face Time and that was really hard to do. Slowly, people started coming. It was hard seeing my aunts and uncles cry, my parent’s close friends, my close friends and to know I had to keep it all together. It was really hard, telling my story to everyone. It’s really hard to even close my eyes for awhile because i see it replaying in my head over and over again. Watching my mum lying in her pool of blood and not being able to do anything. Not being able to save her.
People come, then people leave. All I hear is “I’m so sorry for your loss” or “my condolences”. All I hear is people questioning me about what happened, since I was the sole witness. But I am so tired of telling this story over and over again. I am so tired of hearing other people tell this story. This is my story. This is the truth. Newspapers and reporters may twist it around and exaggerate to the whole world, but this story will remain the truth forever.
I am truly grateful and appreciative to everyone who came, whether it was for a short period, or a long time. Thank you to those who’ve brought a little bit more of hope and joy to me, even though you guys didn’t try. Thank you to those who’ve brought food and drinks, and flowers. Thank you to everyone who called, texted, Whatsapped, Facebook-ed and tweeted me. I don’t know how i became a trending topic overnight (#prayforhuiwei). I was mad at first, but then I realised how much my family had all of your love and support. Whether i know you or not, whether you knew my mum or not, all your kind words really helped. My mother was such an amazing and beautiful person.
I remember.
My mum’s last words to me were “I love you so much” dying there, on the road. I watched it all. I watched it all slip out of my hands. Now my life feels so empty. I keep thinking to myself that this is all a dream. Maybe I’d wake up and be able to avoid this from happening. Maybe if someone pinched me I’d wake up from this nightmare. But this is reality, and I have to face the facts. I have to face the fact that I’m alone now. I have to face the sounds of crying and wailing from the other room. I have to face the facts that I’m going to grow up motherless, clueless and confused. It won’t be easy, but I will get through this.
Ma,
I love you so much. And I am so sorry I had to watch you die. I am so sorry I couldn’t save you. But you’re with God now. Ma you’re such a great person. Beautiful inside and out. And I thank you for teaching me your ways. Thank you for always teaching (scolding) me to be a better person. Even though we’ve had our moments, and times we didn’t see eye to eye, you’ll always be my best friend. Who’s going to pick me up from school now? Who am I going to say “HEY MA” to and tell them about my day? Who’s going to cuddle up with me on the couch and be lazy for awhile?
Ma,
Remember how you used to come into my room while I was studying, and hug me then tickle me. Remember how you used to sing me to sleep when I was young. Or how you used sing when you’re happy. You had a beautiful voice. Remember how we sat on the couch, looking for coloured beads to do arts and crafts. Remember every single day we spent together.
Ma,
I just saw your body, lying in the coffin. You look so beautiful, peaceful, just like you’re sleeping. And I have the biggest urge to scream “wake up”. Thank you, Ma. For giving me life, for giving me love. You taught me everything good in my life. You were always selfless, God-fearing. You were my strong pillar of hope and love. And even though you’re no longer here with us, you’re with God. And you’re happy, just like how you appeared in Lissa’s dream. And I do hope justice will be served. They’re working on finding the criminals, ma. They will be caught.
We all miss you, ma, we miss you so much. Goh Ee and Sar Ee has already appointed themselves as my “mama” and I see you so much of you in them. And it’s not going to be the same anymore. Nothing will be the same anymore. You’re not going to watch me graduate, you’re not going to watch me get married. You’re not going to be there to take care of my children. But I know you are with us in spirit, and you’re always watching over us. Please give me the strength and courage to move forward with my life. Please give me the motivation to be better. To be more like you. To spread the love and joy. Papa, Tache and I will always be grateful for you are the biggest blessing God has given. And maybe you’ve done too much good so The Lord called you home. And you are safe now, safe with God. He will watch over you (and us) and protect you. You are safe from all the evil now.
I will make you proud, mama. I will make everyone proud. I love you so much. I’ll love you every single day of my life, and I’ll never forget whatever you’ve done for me. Thank you so much. Rest in peace, mama, I love you.
