Still thinking of buying house in Malaysia?

[Pisces69]

Actually can retire there. Just don't buy landed house. Buy condo unit. It's alot safer.

 

 

But the thrill of many sporeans is to stay landed. Ty know it is impossible in SG but so easy in MY.

 

But condo is actually better fr older retired couples. Much safer n cheaper to maintain than bunglow.

 

Landed avoid those corner houses. Ty r targeted by thieves more.

[Pisces69]

My fren's fren bought a condo there. The railings at the staircase and sprinkler water pump went missing!!!

 

They cant steal from ur unit, they steal the common property.

 

 

Yr fren fren lucky. One day he find his whole lift missing then he can say he suay.

 

In Msia scrap metal is big biz. Thats why u can see many metal gratings on road n those directional signboards missing.

 

Some only got half a sign left,

 

Tonight ty steal left half n next week come back n steal the right half. These petty thefts mostly done by druggies who need some cash fr drugs.

These thief do their hw and not suka suka go random. I know a Malaysian who got robbed at 7 am when the whole family was getting ready to start their day. He stayed in those new atas estate with security guard and mobile patrol. The thief just ask him to surrender all his valuable and they even know he didnt surrender his 5th rolex. I must say they r good. IMO johor thief is still safer than kl

 

 

This alread cfm is an inside job. Maybe his neighbour is Masarategood?

[Pisces69]

 

Oh, that gives me an idea! If I parked too long and want to save cost, I could do the same too!

 

 

Provided its ticket parking. Now most here use IU.

 

But last time in SG I used that trick many times when park fr long long hours.

 

I take another ticket n use that to exit under grace period. Hahaha.

the piece of metal in your shoe must be super big piece...

[Pisces69]

the piece of metal in your shoe must be super big piece...

 

 

Most shoes have a strip of metal. I think its called a spine. Sometimes its enough to activate the ticket machine.

 

If cannot then I look fr a bigger piece of metal.

[TVT]

But fr retirement its different. For me I go there stay very low profile.

 

Wil not attract any attention. Act like a very poor family. Theives see also pity me. Maybe even give me some food once in awhile.

But what car will you drive around there, poor man? It can't be a Optra anymore you know....

Hardcore criminals freed

 

 

reminds me of the demolition man sylvester stallone movie

 

Petaling Jaya - The repeal of the Emergency Ordinance saw some 2,000 detainees being freed. If even a third of them returned to crime, that means there are about 800 hardcore criminals running loose in the country.

 

Police, however, believe the number could be far bigger.

Malaysian eateries get armed guards after spate of robberies

Most of the youths released from detention under the EO usually return to their old ways, a police officer said.

 

The assistant superintendent from Perak, who requested anonymity, said that when the EO was in effect, these individuals were kept off the streets.

 

"As soon as they were off the leash, it was back to breaking the law," he said in an interview.

 

This was inevitable as crime is the only livelihood former detainees were accustomed to, he said.

 

"All they need to do is make a telephone call and they will be 'hooked up'. Some need not even make that call; they almost immediately get 'recruited'."

 

Add to this situation the seemingly easy availability of firearms all the way from Bukit Kayu Hitam to Johor, and we have a scary scenario on our hands.

 

With violent snatch thefts, assaults and robberies of restaurant and their patrons, even food outlets are resorting to hiring armed guards to protect them.

 

Others are keeping their doors locked, only allowing regular patrons into their premises.

 

The ASP also said many former detainees were capable of anything, even robbing wedding guests at religious premises.

 

"There have been many such cases when temple weddings were held during the wee hours, an auspicious time for Hindus," he said.

 

"Robbers see this as an 'auspicious' time, too. It is ideal for them - it's 5am, it's dark and there's no real security.

 

"Also, they know that women wear jewellery during these functions," the ASP said.

 

On why the former detainees escaped prosecution, the source said it was difficult to find incriminating evidence against them.

 

"Most of them are gang members. To society, they are ruthless and intimidating. Witnesses are not forthcoming; it is hard to gather concrete proof to put the suspects behind bars."

 

"Many of them are also either on drugs or are pushers themselves," another senior police officer said.

 

He said that while addicts on traditional drugs like ganja and heroin could be sent for rehabilitation programmes, those on amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS) like syabu have greater feeling of confidence and were harder to control.

 

There was also no tailored rehabilitation programmes for this group, who only use the drugs when they set out to commit crimes.

 

ATS, he said, was the kind of drugs used by kamikaze pilots in World War Two before their suicide dives. ATS users are also likely to end up with mental health problems.

True. As long as u take basic precautions either in SG or MY u sud b safe.

 

If/when I move to MY, I prob get a good watchdog n instal a CCTV n alarm system. Costs r not that high n it wil b a good deterrent to breakins.
