[PaiKia-Lee]

Its pretty much exciting now that Iskandar is gearing up the economy. Yes. We all know that Malaysia has recently bragged that they are the safest country in South East Asia.

 

Friend, Low Crime doesnt mean NO Crime. Somemore my friend house got robbed THREE ( 1, 2 , 3 ) freaking times already. Tell me in Singapore which same house can be robbed twice? Lucky his pretty sister never got raped as I believe the robbers were on drugs and found her ugly. But in real life she is a real babe. If I were the robber, I would rape her

 

 

 

Damn funny. Thats why I always love staying in Malaysia. Its damn exciting every night I returned home.

 

He had just arrived at work yesterday morning when his mother called. Their family had been robbed.

They were held hostage in their own home in Taman Pelangi, Johor Bahru, for one hour, just after midnight, his mother said in between sobs.

 

The robbers made off with about $20,000 worth of goods, $4,000 cash and two of the family's cars.

Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt.

 

"We are so 'light' now. We have no wallet, no IC, no driving licence," said the mother of Singapore permanent resident Kevin Lee, 28, who only wanted to be known as Mrs Lee, 55.

 

The ordeal began when Mr Lee's father, 60, had taken out the rubbish and was about to clean the windscreen of his daughter's Toyota Vios, parked just in front of the house.

 

That was when he spotted the two men approaching leisurely. They were wearing collared shirts. One even had a tie.

 

Just people coming home from work, he thought.

 

Until he felt somebody clamp his left hand.

 

He turned and another man grabbed his other arm, pulling him towards the house.

 

Said the senior Mr Lee: "They shouted at me to get in. I said, 'Let's settle this outside,' and even deliberately fell in the garden to try to stop them."

 

But they hauled him up.

 

 

Mrs Lee and her god-sister were watching TV when the family's pomeranian-shih tzu crossbred dog began barking.

 

Looking up, she saw the two skinny men in their 20s approach with her husband, one of them with an arm around Mr Lee's neck.

 

Said Mrs Lee: "I knew it was trouble. My god-sister panicked and fled to the kitchen; I called for her to give them the money."

 

Her god-sister had just received 5,000 ringgit ($2,000) the day before.

 

But the robbers were not satisfied and taped the family's mouths and wrists with black duct tape before ordering them into the airwell.

 

Said Mrs Lee: "I instantly scooped up the dog and put him into the sink there.

 

"One of the men, wielding a parang, said, 'If you don't make the dog shut up, I'll hack him.'"

 

He then stood watch by the airwell's entrance.

 

Just then, a third man wearing a ski mask and carrying a parang appeared.

 

The family said he seemed to be the ringleader as he gave instructions to the other two, who smelt of liquor and appeared to be on drugs.

 

The men began ransacking the rooms in their three-bedroom terrace house, starting from the innermost one, which belongs to her 31-year-old daughter, who got home 15 minutes into the ordeal.

 

Miss Lee said she was greeted at the door by a man with a knife.

 

"So you're back. Go in," she recalled him saying. "I was freaking out. I didn't know what happened to my parents."

 

He then took her bag, though she managed to retrieve a mobile phone.

 

Trembling in the airwell, her wrists taped, Miss Lee SMSed a cousin on the sly: "Call the police. We're getting robbed."

 

Ten minutes later, she tried the friend who had just dropped her off.

 

Neither responded.

 

Five minutes passed before the robbers had another demand: Pointing at Miss Lee, they asked her to step outside.

 

Mrs Lee said her knees buckled when her daughter was singled out.

 

She said: "I was thinking the worst, and kept shouting no."

 

Mr Lee, too, resisted, and was slapped on the cheek. He was gagged with a towel that was hanging next to the sink.

 

The robbers then chose to focus on the family's belongings.

 

"We're looking for money, we're not going to kill you," the robbers allegedly shouted, thrice asking Mrs Lee to reveal where she kept money.

 

Whatever she had she kept in her bags, she replied.

 

So the robbers took every bag in the house.

 

Mrs Lee estimates she lost almost 10 luxury-brand bags.

 

Most of them had sentimental value.

 

They included her first-ever designer bag bought by her husband in Hong Kong and two Louis Vuitton bags from her sister, one of which was for her 50th birthday.

 

 

The robbers plundered indisciminately, stealing the family's three-month-old, 42-inch flat-screen TV, two bottles of 21-year-old whiskey, expensive cameras and also work documents and facial masks.

 

They then re-taped the family's wrists, further securing Miss Lee's wrists to the window sill with a belt and tying Mr Lee's to the airwell's door handle with a dog leash.

 

The robbers loaded their loot into Mrs Lee's Toyota Camry in the driveway and left, making off with Mr Lee's Nissan X-Trail SUV as well.

 

The family could only call the police after they had wriggled free of the tape.

 

Miss Lee said the police arrived at 2am to take statements from the victims and again at 3am to photograph the scene and dust for fingerprints.

 

The family said they have always been cautious.

 

Mrs Lee said she often told her children not to return home late, and even at 10pm, she would call to check on them.

 

While the Malaysian family has lived in the house for 30 years, Miss Lee and Mr Kevin Lee studied in Singapore from primary school till their tertiary education.

 

Mr Kevin Lee lives and works in Singapore as a marketing manager.

 

He bought a two-bedroom Punggol condominium unit last year and has a Singaporean girlfriend of five years.

 

The family said it was the ^{third time} the house had been broken into.

 

The first attempt occured about 15 years ago; the subsequent attempt was about five years back, when Miss Lee returned to see drawers upended and a "hole in the roof".

 

Said Mr Kevin Lee: "Previously, robbers used to come when the owners were not at home. They're getting bolder."

 

Taman Pelangi a crime hotspot

 

Taman Pelangi was identified by Johor police in August 2009 as a crime hotspot.

 

Then-Johor police chief Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said that robberies and snatch thefts were common in the area.

 

In May last year, the Malaysian Home Ministry allocated RM1.5 million (S$610,000) to the Johor Baru city council to improve the city's safety and security infrastructure.

 

Proper lighting and safe pedestrian walkways were introduced in crime-prone areas in Johor Baru, including Taman Pelangi.

 

Bicycle patrol

 

When announcing a new bicycle patrol last June, deputy district police chief Zainuddin Yaacob mentioned that break-ins and snatch thefts were more common between 3am and 5am.

 

Despite these precautionary measures by the police, the area has seen its fair share of violent crime in recent years.

 

In April last year, a bodyguard was shot dead when a female moneychanger was robbed by four men armed with a gun and a parang.

 

One opened fire on the car while another smashed the windscreen and opened the boot, escaping with four bags of money.

[Mockngbrd]

yea, nothing new.

u need fierce guard dogs there. Dobies, German Shephards or Rotties.

my dad's friend has 8 dobies.

 

 

 

[Neost]

Is easy to deal with dogs. This is a trick told to me by my dad who knew of a petty thief during his kampong days.

 

The thief said when you see the dog on first night, just throw him some meat buns and leave...

 

Come back on the second night, throw him some meat buns and leave.

 

Come back on the third night, throw him some meat buns and saya him a bit and leave

 

Come back on the fourth night, throw him some meat buns and he will not care what you do to his master or master's wife

 

[Mockngbrd]

u will need alot of meat buns to deal with 8 big dogs.

[Neost]

u will need alot of meat buns to deal with 8 big dogs.

 

Then meat buns with rat poison.... One night settles everything....

[Jj5599]

Then meat buns with rat poison.... One night settles everything....

[Unidentified]

u will need alot of meat buns to deal with 8 big dogs.

i have seen owner who kept 4 rottweilers and they are mostly kept at the backyard and unleash at night or when no one is around.really is see stranger sure kill.

 

 

[Darthrevan]

truly asia is a very exciting place..life is never a bore..with so many possibilities happening daily..the pple there must be living a most exuberant life

[TameDriver]

 

The fact that they got robbed 3x shows that they are comparatively well-off,

Relative to the rest of the neighborhood.

Which is very noticeable, given that type of place /country they live in.

 

I feel for the family who underwent the ordeal,

Very fortunate that they weren't injured or harmed!

er, who knows maybe along that street they were robbed the least? 3 times robbery in the same house in Taman Pelangi is actually a market rate

 

[Good-Carbuyer]

nothing new from cowboy land.

he should have kept 2 or 3 rottweilers or pit bulls at home and i will see how those mats rempit dare to even go near with parang.

fu*king tear off the mat rempit face hands and legs off to peng BBQ pork.

I believe they kept poodle only

[Renegade777]

yea, nothing new.

u need fierce guard dogs there. Dobies, German Shephards or Rotties.

my dad's friend has 8 dobies.

 

But that kind of place minimum must keep rottweilers or pit bulls. Anyway, the house kana rob so many times how come still did not install any security system.

 

They should install some kind of top-notch security system, that will sound off the whole neighbourhood.

Observe at one previous worksite: First day guard dog bark at everyone. Second day guard dog stop barking. Third day, guard dog disappeared, but Thai workers seems cheered up.

[Good-Carbuyer]

er, who knows maybe along that street they were robbed the least? 3 times robbery in the same house in Taman Pelangi is actually a market rate

Ever heard got house burglared every 6 months.

[Good-Carbuyer]

But that kind of place minimum must keep rottweilers or pit bulls. Anyway, the house kana rob so many times how come still did not install any security system.

 

They should install some kind of top-notch security system, that will sound off the whole neighbourhood.

Perhaps the neighbourhood would not come to help, so no use installing
