Syed Saddiq files police report after house gets robbed, over S$82,000 stolen source: https://mothership.sg/2020/03/syed-saddiq-robbery/ On Monday (Mar. 30), Malaysia’s former Youth and Sports Minister, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, tweeted a photo of a police report he made. Here’s the tweet: RM250,000 stolen In the caption, Syed said that his house was robbed. He added that police officers, as well as a forensic team, had visited his house on Sunday (Mar. 29) night to begin their investigations. The police report wrote that the robbery took place on Mar. 29, around 7:00pm. It was also stated that a total of RM250,000 (about S$82,000) was stolen from Syed’s safe. The last time Syed opened his safe was either on Mar. 13 or 14. His safe was protected with a secret code, and only a few people know where it is located in the house. Rest of the house was in tact According to the police report, the rest of the house was intact and there was no sign of forced entry. In a second tweet, Syed thanked the police staff for their hard work. He also hoped that the case will be solved as soon as possible. Stolen money did not belong to PPBM Continuing the Twitter thread, Syed clarified that he will not be responding to any comments or speculations until the investigation has completed. He added that a media report claiming the RM250,000 belonged to Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) is false. Here’s a translation of points five and six: Disputed TV3’s account In a separate tweet, Syed disputed the claim of TV3, a Malaysian free-to-air television channel. TV3 was the media outlet that reported that the money stolen from Syed’s house belonged to PPBM, which Syed denied. Syed said: “In the police report that I made on 29 March 2020, I never once mentioned that the money belonged to PPBM. Hence, the headline on the news was absolutely wrong.” He then urged TV3 to openly apologise for their mistake on the same day the false news was reported (Mar. 30). Syed ended off his statement by saying:

http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/singapore/story/woman-robbed-knifepoint-while-parking-geylang-bahru-20131203 A man robbed a woman at knifepoint in her car on Sunday afternoon in Geylang Bahru, in a crime rarely seen in Singapore. The victim, a woman in her 30s, was parking her vehicle near a food centre packed with diners when the robber opened the car door and slipped into the front passenger seat, according to Chinese evening newspaper Shin Min Daily News. After taking her valuables and cash, he forced her to drive to another open-air carpark where he bound her hands with tape before making his getaway. The victim lost about $600 worth of cash and valuables, including an iPhone 5, added the paper. And I thought it was Johor Bahru.

For robbers that is. http://www.relax.com.sg/article/news/backpacker-of-30-years-says-kl-is-most-dangerous-place-he-has-ever-been-to Backpacker of 30 years says KL is most dangerous place he has ever been to.

The blue-painted second-floor shophouse unit where the crime took place yesterday morning. Witnesses say the robbers fled in a black car. -- ST PHOTO: DESMOND LIM When three Indian businessmen opened the door of their second-floor shop in Little India yesterday, they were greeted by three men dressed in the blue of the Singapore Police Force. But instead of being protected by these "cops", they were relieved of over $100,000 by the brazen police impersonators. The Straits Times understands that it is very rare here for a crime to be committed by someone masquerading as a policeman. The robbery occurred around 8.15am at 103, Dunlop Street in Little India.

The 17-year-old student's worst fears were realised when she was accosted in the lift of her Woodlands Drive HDB block early last Saturday. A tall, well-built man slipped in past the lift's closing doors and wrapped his right arm around her neck. That was just the start of her five-minute ordeal, during which the man not only robbed but also groped her. She reported the matter to the police, who searched the area but could not find the man. To make matters worse, the CCTV in the lift turned out to be only an empty casing. Read the full report in The New Paper on Tuesday (June 19).

Served these posers right... si mi lan sai also 'pose' on facebook... The family of a 17-year-old girl was robbed after their daughter uploaded a photo of a wad of cash to Facebook. Two men armed with a knife and a wooden club broke into the Bundanoon home in the NSW Southern Highlands last week demanding to speak with the unnamed girl about the cash. The girl had helped her grandmother count her life savings in Sydney when she posted the photo of the undisclosed sum of cash to the social media site. At 11.30pm, seven hours after the photo was uploaded, the men entered the girl

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. RELATED STORIES Singapore couple mugged in Malaysia 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.

Susan, a rich woman living in a condominium in Bukit Timah, was robbed by her online date. The 40-year-old woman met a Caucasian man online. The 36-year-old man works in Kuala Lumpur and the duo "dated" for 15 days via online chat before she invited him to her home. The man took a bus from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore on 9 July and brought his luggage in tow around 10.35pm that night. He was captured on the condo's CCTV camera carrying some fast food. The woman invited him in and they watched TV while eating the fast food. She said she felt weak after a few drinks of coke. She passed out before 11pm, and fell asleep for 16 hours. By the time she woke up, it was 3pm the next day. She discovered her entire home ransacked and all her valuables missing. She felt her lips were swollen and fears she had been sexually violated. Susan made a police report and after watching the CCTV footage, she realised she had been drugged and robbed. The thief had already charged 3,000 ringgit (S$1,216) to her credit card by the time she made the report.

Does referee have the power to declare this as goal instead of awarding a penalty.

I'm not the person writing this, but read this from Malsing forum, exact link here. I always stopped at this exact RnR for my past few trips to Genting and KL. Apart from the A&W, the other reason was becoz it's the most crowded RnR, thus giving me a 'false' sense of security as pointed out by this incident. A warning to frequent travellers not to be complacent.. - mechflight

Swede robbed on seventh visit to Kelantan Tue, Feb 17, 2009 The Star/Asia News Network KOTA BARU, Malaysia: It would have been a memorable seventh visit for a Swedish visitor to Kelantan but for the ugly incident in which snatch thieves stole her bag containing RM1,500 ($628.35) in Jalan Tok Hakim last Friday, leaving her with injuries to her arm and thigh. Paula Ljunggren, 64, said she was thankful that she did not lose her passport. "I love to visit Kelantan and this is my seventh visit here and before this, my previous visits had been blissful. "It happened so fast and all I knew was that I fell to the ground after they snatched my bag containing the money which I had just changed at the moneychanger's," said Ljunggren, who is a hairdresser from Vasteras, Sweden. She said that her friend, Sven-Inguar Eriksson, 68, a former policeman, managed to grab the thieves' motorcycle but was not strong enough to unseat them. She received outpatient treatment at the Raja Perempuan Zainab II Hospital. She later lodged a police report at the Kota Baru police station. "We love the people here, especially our local friends, the food, nature, and it's a shopping paradise," said Ljunggren, who was in a wheelchair when visited at a friend's apartment here. "We will come back to Kelantan in future. This incident will not stop me and my husband and friends from coming back here. However, we hope that there will be better security in areas which are prone to snatch thefts." Kota Baru OCPD ACP Zahrudin Abdullah said police were investigating the case under Section 379 of the Penal Code. -The Star/ANN

Aug 9, 2007 Son saved man's life but lost belongings AT 2 AM on Sunday, my son dived into the Singapore River to rescue a drowning man. Before doing so, he removed his shirt, wallet, shoes, spectacles and mobile phone. After rescuing the man, who almost dragged him down, he found all his belongings missing. The man he rescued gave him $50 but he had no shirt and was dripping wet. An ambulance took the man to hospital but no taxi driver would take my son home. I am just a cleaner and I am very sad that my son lost things he could ill afford to lose while saving another's life. Kasturi Bai (Ms) http://www.straitstimes.com/ST%2BForum/Sto...ory_146892.html
