Beware GIRLS

HMMM.. its not something unusual if you heard news about snatch thefts and robbery..

In subang itself it is common..This morning, someone got her bag snatched by a motorist near SS15. hmmmm... luckily the girl escaped unhurt, but hope she recovers from the traumatisation soon!!!

A few tips on walking:
  • always walk against the traffic.
  • Tend to look around,(back) every 8 seconds.. - the thieves will aim people who's not alert
  • Be alert of your surroundings , not just sounds ( some motorists off their engine and glide towards you)
  • Always have your bag at the inner side of the road
  • If you find any suspicious motorists or man walking behind, don't panick
  • Try to get to someplace where there is more people, be prepared to be approached by them.
  • Try looking them in the eye, and stop walking (ensure you're not in the middle of the junction)
  • Wait till they pass by ( at the same time, be prepared that they'll mugg you)
  • Carry at hand things that can be used from a distance, Umbrella or pepper spray
  • Alarm the neighbourhood when you realise something is wrong
  • If someone has been tailing you, try ringing one of the houses with doorbell, and scream for help or attention (later explain to the owner that you're avoiding the thieves)
  • Do not panick, always be prepared, set your mind what you would do
  • Try not to walk alone anywhere anytime
  • Do not choose to use similar routes. Try different routes every few times
  • Try not to go back the same time that you always do, so that they won't be able to monitor you.
  • Do not focus or think about other things while travelling on foot, as criminals like to catch people off guard.
  • Most importantly, try to avoid and prevent things from happening.
  • You can make a difference..

Take care and be careful girls.. its a dangi danger dangerous world out there..
