This guy must be the most famous guy on Astro today. Forget about Raja Lawak, he will always succeed in getting me into stiches everytime his advertisment comes on TV. Sure enough, when we first saw the advertisment, the first question is, "Where did they find this Ah Beng from ..." hence theStar's article , "Ad guy Yuen is no Ah Beng".
Everyone I know , find the Ad very very funny. Definitely stand out from the rest. The only people who were not amused about it , are the actual DVD flers. WAKAKAKAKAKA !!! I heard one of them ranting about this AD too.. and he doesn't look very amused that ASTRO has made an AD making fun of the illegal trade... wakakakakak !! ROFL!!
anyway here's a video of the interview with Yuen...
I never knew this place is called Nasi Kandar Abdul bin Kudu, but I knew all my life that this place serves great Nasi Kandar. My first visit over here was probably , when I was in secondary school, and my uncle was the one person who brought me here.
And this time around, I brought two of my colleagues to come eat. One Malay fler, from Kelantan, who usually very reluctantly touch Indian food , and a chinese fler who eat almost anything.
This restaurant is no looker, but I must say, since Abdul Kudu's daughters took over, the place has looked much brighter and noticeably much cleaner than before. Business is not as brisk as before. I remembered long lines, people queuing up to get their nasi kandar.
Having been going round eating, quite a bit of mutton and beef, this time I opted for fried chicken and vegetables. I also asked for kuah campur. Its really a good mix of kuah they give, but the server is careful not to drench the rice, unlike some of those guys in Pelita KLCC do.
I find their kuah, not too salty, certainly quite spicy ( you get to taste a full range of spices in their gravy), and yet, not too HOT, which is definitely cooked to attract more patrons. Just what I like. I can't remember if their curry had a lot of MSG or not, but it tastes fantastically good , for a dish that doesn't look really good... no big deal right ? Usually you will do the talking after the first bite... not before.
They also have crabs, prawns, squids, beef and mutton. Still don't dare to makan seafood in these type of MAMAK establishments. I had a bad bad experience at Pelita KLCC, so called want to show off when belanja customer makan. So I ordered, Curry Fish Head for Four (unlike a smartforfour which gives you extra mileage and extra air bags, etc ).. my curryfishheadforfour, cost me RM100, and we couldn't eat the fish, coz the fish head too hard.... I felt cheated... but didn't want to make a commotion infront of my customers I just paid and wowed never to go for those stuff again.
Kelantan fler: Said, hmm sedap, he loved it. So I asked, if you walked past this restaurant, would you walk in and try their food ? He said, no la... if not because you brought me here, I wouldn't have sat down and ordered food.
Chinese fler: said, Ho Chiak !! Give Thumbs up all...
Look out for a Jalan Dewan Sultan Sulaiman, where at the corner lot ( there is a Pizza Hut), drive a little further until you see a Honda Showroom on the left, turn in there and look for parking.
No. 335, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, 50100 Kuala Lumpur
Sad to say, one of my favourite Maggi Mee Goreng in Jinjang Selatan stall, has been closed down, and I believe it is the work of City Hall. The question is , do you know where this stall is now ? Although the stall has been demolished for like a few months already, I believe it is somehow related to the story below. I hope someone can tell me where if the stall has been relocated...
RESTAURANT operators in Jinjang Selatan and Jintang Utara new villages are crying foul over City Hall's order to dismantle the extensions to their shops.
Distraught: Liew says City Hall should explain why they wanted the structures down.
They received letters from City Hall since last month saying the extensions were illegal and must be dismantled within two weeks from the dates of the letters or the authority would do it for them.
One of the shops, Lam Seng coffee shop, failed to escape the bulldozers on Aug 1, when his grace period expired.
Federal Territory MCA Youth deputy chairman Yee Poh Ping had earlier sent a letter to City Hall appealing for an extension of the grace period but was rejected.
“Most of the shops have been there for more than 60 years and the structures or canopies were installed to shield customers from rain or shine,” said Yee.
“The structures do not obstruct traffic. No one has ever complained about the canopies. Why does City Hall want to put restaurant operators in such hardship?
“They are only small timers and City Hall should not burden them further,” he added.
Yee said he could understand City Hall's intention to standardise extensions in the city's commercial areas, but such rulings should not be imposed on operators in new villages.
“City Hall should advise them to submit applications to legalise the extensions. Harsh action will result in them losing business, on top of that they have to spend money to rebuild the structures,” Yee said.
Lam Seng coffee shop operator Liew Chee Loy, 46, said City Hall should explain as to why they wanted the structures down.
“The extension has been there for years, even before I rented the shop five years ago. It doesn't obstruct traffic at all, why can't it stay there?” he asked, adding that he could not afford to build another structure and City Hall had not made clear what type of structures would be permitted.
Another operator, Shom Maan, 68, said he had forked out about RM3,500 to replace the zinc canopy with retractable plastic sheets for fear that City Hall would come and demolish the original structure.
“I still don't understand why we couldn't keep the original structures, these plastic sheets are not nice to look at either,” he said.
By this time Sayang had already stopped eating, although for myself, I wasn't done yet. Frankly, I didn't really eat much at Sai Woo. I thought, why waste the space, we should go try the Alor's Famous Beef noodles.
This stall has not changed much since I got introduced to this place, some 10 years back. Still looks dirty, and is still by the roadside in the corner of the street right opposite of Corona Inn. But most importantly, their noodles still taste the same.
For me the bowl of noodles were above average, although someone else might give it a 110%, eat until stick to wall situation. To me, these are nice, because not many people knows how to make beef noodles like Ngau Kee does.
I ordered dry noodles (kon lou), and the above picture was the best I could get, blurry due to low lighting. Didn't bring tripod also. Their noodles, when you bite into them, it does gives you that bouncy feel, which indicates the freshness of the noodles. The black stuff is mince meat. Yummy !!!
Their beef balls were just equally tasty. If you are the type who loves the insides, I believe this stall also serves some of the best Cow Parts Soup in KL. (Ngau Chap) . Also try their Ngau Lam instead of just going for the beef balls.
It was 7.7.7 and we have always wanted to go check out Jake's Fantastic Steaks. We were advised to make a reservation, because it was a weekend, and the occasion was a 777. We arrived there about 6 plus almost 7 in the evening. We expected to spend a bit of time looking for parking, but I guess we were lucky. We found one spot, right in front of the Thai Restaurant , on the same row as Jakes.
When we arrived, we were greeted warmly by some usherer. Checked to see if we have had a reservation, we said yes, and she whisked us to our table. Soon after a friendly waiter came by to take our order. He even posed for us.
So, in our booth, we saw one picture of the latest Tun in town, posing with the owners of the restaurant.
We ordered Mexican Nachos , to share between the both of us. We both compared their Mexican Nachos with Fajita Nacho's of Chili's and TGIF, but I guess, over here somehow , maybe and perhaps... you know we just couldn't point our finger as to why their Fajita Nachos weren't so nice, but its not bad..... they're ok.
We ordered our main dishes. Sayang had her Australian Lamb Ribs (, while I opted for a Texan Beef Burger. I must say that was perhaps one of the best grilled lamb I 've had in my life. I was done just nice to our liking, a layer of fat can be seen at the side where the bones and meat met. The grilled lamb then had some mint sauce on top of it. At the side, they put in some standard potato wedges, corn and some carrot slices.
I only managed to get one piece out of that, and I thought , whoaaaa , jiengg!!! Mou Tak Teng !!
My burger came shortly. It looks like a normal burger, with a decent size sesame bun to hold it together. It was accompanied by a few pieces of fresh salad, and some fries. I'd expect something like abit more fries.
So after having been disappointed by the Burger Shack's burger, I didn't suppose anything else could get worse that that. My patty was cooked to Well Done, but not burnt. I thought the patty could have been a little bit fatter. It was a bit too dry for my liking. Oh well, the next time we come back I must go for their Tenderloin Steak... like that baru shock !! hahaha.....
Anyone who comes over here, please try their steaks, and tell me good or not.
The serving was quite big. So we decided to try Chocolate Fudge Brownie Alamode, for dessert. I must comment that their food is okay la, not too bad. Definitely worth coming back to check out their Steaks. I can confirm, if you love LAMB, they do serve some very good lamb.
What was nice, was that, we were attended to , whenever we needed something. The manager is always on the floor asking if the food was alright, explaining to us how the food should be like, etc. The staff were all very very friendly I must say.
Yes, this is the place where we began our journey to try out food @ Jln Alor that night. We parked our car at Hotel Novo's carpark and walked up to WAW first. Just ordered 2 pairs of chicken wings, and shared it with Sayang. She happilly chowed down her share.... and she looked so happy after that ( like what chocolate does to a chick !! wakakakaa !!)
Look, its a chicken factory over here. No where else in Malaysia do they churn out so much Chicken wings in one shoplot. This flers should go into Malaysia Book of Records for selling the most Chicken wings in a day.
I remembered the previous visit over here, we had one Crab Dish ( sweet and spicy sauce ) with Roti Bakar - damn chun that dish , One Fried Snails ( Gam Heong ) and of course we also had their chicken wingz. Although a bit pricey but their food was quite good, ada standard punya dei !! Unfortunately, we wanted to try other stalls along Jln Alor, so we took a rain check for WAW's crabs.
Other reviews ( I think everyone had only good things to say bout this place) actually this was their reviews when there all met up for a gathering ...
Jalan Alor, the street full of food. But which restaurant serves good food and which doesn't. That night we were walking up from WAW (famed for their delicious BBQ Chicken Wings). We ta paoed, one each and ate our chicken wings as we walked up to scout what/where to eat our dinner. We walked all the way to the other end, stopped by at Loong Kee, and bought our bacon strips. Then we made our way back down.
Sai Woo, is in the middle. We noticed a crowd outside and saw some people actually standing and waiting for their seats. Whoa.. jam packed wo this place (it was about 730pm) and we were getting hungrier by the minute. So we sat down and ordered some stuff.
Char Koay Teo, O Chien, Fried LA-LA.
The Char Koay Teo came first, looks damn good, red color, and I thought for once I get to eat Pg style Koay Teo here. Mana tau, after first bite, then second bite... alamak... the taste a bit off la. So, in the end, we gave up. I give A for looks, D Fail, for Taste....
O Chien Came ( fried oysters) but the taste was so so only.
The fried la la was quite decent la, but we ordered kam heong lala ... ok la.. won't complain so much.
Okay here is the thing, I read in some other online pages, but I tried none of it over here... kekekekeke.... So I will probably go back and try the Pork Mee...
BB Guide - The Sai Woo coffeeshop (Jalan Alor) serves tasty fried tung-fun, with generous portions of vital ingredients like dried prawns and beansprouts.
KampungboyCityGal - few steps after Meng Kee is Restoran Sai Woo, famous for their delicious pork mee suah. Again, we were too early and the piggy is not even slaughter yet.
I suddenly felt like I wanted to go watch a Football match, and what more, a AFC Cup Semi Final between South Korea and Iraq. It wasn't planned or anything like that, but I guessed its not one of those matches where the tickets get sold out or something like that. I went during lunch time to get my tickets and this was what I saw. Luckilly they were open , ahahaha.
Furthermore it was between 2 very good teams, South Korea (favourites) and Iraq ( who did well to reach the semi finals , definitely my dark horse for this tournament). And the plus point is that, is was held at Bukit Jalil, a world class stadium, that leaks ( yups bocor wan).
It started raining at about 5pm. By 6 the stadium was already wet. Luckilly this magnificent stadium, has full covers for spectators.
A shot of where all the fans congregated for this match
Listen to the chants of the two sets of fans, separated by one fence only
Moving on I managed to mingle with both sets of fans and I took some videos to show for it. In a nutshell I find the Iraqi fans the friendlier of the lot. Partly also because they are mostly young and single men who just loves their national football team.
Mingling in Korean Side
Mingling in Iraqi Side
The Korean fans were great too, but not as friendly. They made a lot of noise, chants, and sang throughout the entire football match. The atmosphere was incredible, really nice. The Iraqi's were just as boisterous, applauding and cheering their national team on , throughout the match.
I only hope that Malaysia could learn two things from this AFC CUP Tournament.
1) How our Asian neighbours play football. 2) How their fans support their national team.
Some really friendly Iraqi Fans
Never too young to watch football, eh
A see of RED , magnificent chanting and singing all night long
[Short note: After a short trip to writing about Harry Potty, I am now very happy to go back to blogging about food ]
Jalan Alor, is definitely one of those places which I tagged as, I wont go there unless I have to, in the afternoons. The traffic jam here is terrible, and parking spaces are hard to find and also they are blaardy expensive. But one Saturday afternoon I had to be there to collect some stuff, so I ended up there.
I parked diagonally opposite to Loong Kee , which initially I had no intention to drop by, but the smells were just to hard to resist, as if I kena mind controlled into the shop.
Anyways, I wasn't going to buy anything, just want so see see only. But, because of the free smells, I suddenly remembered, I have not had Dried Meat Bread in a long long time. So I looked at the menu, I chosed the third option.
Thats how they serve you the D/Meat + M/FLoss Bread
If you compare how they served me in the video with the picture above, you would have noticed that the m/floss is actually inside the bun and not outside. The above picture makes it look nicer only, but definitely tasted the same, plus you don't have to deal with meat floss falling all over.
This shop sells practically everything else, tambun biscuits, tau sah phneah, heong pang, egg tarts, coconut tarts, kaya puffs, curry puffs, everything la. They also sell mineral water and soft drinks over the counter. Anyone tried their puffs and tarts yet ? Compare them with Tong Kee stuff ?
The same night we were at Jalan Alor again, this time to try some of the stalls and to specifically go eat WAW's Chicken Wings. We browsed around Loong Kee and found that they sell BBQ Dried Bacon Strips ( spicy /non spicy).
These bacon strips are definitely not traditional chinese dried Meat items, obviously puzzled by this type of meat, I asked the lady , Apa Ini ? She didn't need to explain, just asked if I wanted to sample or not, I gleefully said yes...
Good or not ? (no need to answer) We were at the Cashier paying for the Bacons strips. We bought the spicy ones ( really spicy ) so if you are the tak bleh tahan pedas type, or got kids at home type, buy the not spicy ones.
For some reason or another, I am finding this quite amusing. The saga continues with more news reports from the Star Online. And I would like to highlight this from theStar Online
JOHOR BARU: The price war in the sale of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows novel will benefit the people, said Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Mohd Shafie Apdal.
“If there is a drop in price that the suppliers can afford, this is good and is not violating the law.
“If traders can reduce their prices and not sell at a loss, we should encourage this as it really benefits the people,” he said.
Carrefour and Tesco hypermarkets sparked a controversy when they sold the book at RM69.90 compared to RM109.90 by MPH, Popular and Times bookstores.
Mohd Shafie said high book prices have burdened the people.
“Since we are encouraging the public to read, to be well-informed and knowledgeable, it is important that books be sold at affordable prices,” he told reporters after opening the Gelang Patah Umno general meeting here yesterday.
In another report, apparently Borders sold out by noon. Wah not bad ah, sell at 109.90 also can sell out.. so the Bookstores' boycott alliance
I still don't quite understand why anyone would want to choose to buy a book for 109.90 when you can actually buy it at 69.90 somewhere else. Oh ya, with that additional RM40, you could buy yourself lots of YOGURT drinks, Ice Cream, your favorite potato snacks, and junk food on your way out. To add to that, most of these places gives you free parking, or convenient parking places.
Check out Britain's news, some independent bookstores are queing up to buy Harry Potter books from Tesco. Smart move for these guys.
More clips from the above link:
He said: “The magic of Harry Potter has gone mad. Nobody is making any money in the distribution of this book. Amazon, Tesco . . . are either breaking even or losing money.” Asked why he bothers to sell it, he said: “Because we are a community bookshop. We do it because we have a lot of fun. But I’m pleased this is the last one.”
Meanwhile I am going to leave this topic and go back to blogging about food. Watch this space though as I am very interested in how this story will turn out, after the Boycott Alliance meets up with Penguin Books.
I am very surprised at the speed of how fast the internet gets its news. Anyway I read from International Herald Tribune, that the Malaysian Government has sided against those greedy multi chain bookstores. (read the story here)
So while surfing the internet for the latest updates on all this Harry Potty Boycotts and such, I found out that this news has already been updated on WIKIPEDIA.
So I still hope all of you who pre ordered, please try and get a refund from MPH & Popular.
Check out William Soo's Blog on his rants about this Harry Potty Price War Thing. He has a very similar way of thinking regarding this price war thing which is happening only in Malaysia.
I woke up this morning and was pleasantly surprised that Sharon Bakar had left a comment on my post about Harry Potter. I read her post and opinions and went on to read the comments section. I found quite an interesting mix of opinions from various parties.
We have quite a few who kutuk the hypermarkets, some were happy that Tesco and Careffour is doing this, but some unfortunately for someone like Georgette Tan who is in Malaysia, tarak Hypermarket sana and according to her blog, many walkins were turned away at Popular Bookstore in Kuching.
So I did a few searches and found a few places where you can actually buy them (not at Tesco price la).
The from YTL Community Website 1) Barnes 2) Powell
By making it difficult for readers to get the book, doesn't mean other readers can't buy it. Imagine , Levis Jeans, Elvis Pressley records, Coke could still be found in Eastern Bloc countries in the 80s.
The four book chain stores who are boycotting this release should consider selling their books at a cheaper price. Then and again, WHY in UK people can get their books for 5 - 8 pounds, we Malaysians have to pay 17 pounds ? Doesn't make any bloody sense.
Firstly , I would like to congratulate ardent fans of the Harry Potter series who managed to get their hands on the book today. Of course, with no thanks at all to the MPH Mega Chain of bookstores.
I feel sorry for my friends who actually took the time to actually pre-order the book from MPH , Popular, Borders, etc at the RRP. Unfortunately for thousands of them right, pre ordering means you have to pay up front , and collect the books when the stock arrives la.
So, news and flyers surfaced yesterday that the hypermarket chains were going to sell the Harry Potter book at 69.90 !!! Walane... so low, so value for money !! some more don't need to pre - order .
MPH, Popular, Harris and Times at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur at 4pm announced that they would not sell Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in protest against Carrefour and Tesco selling the book at a hefty discount.
The recommended retail price of RM109.90 is being violated by hypermarkets advertising and selling it at RM69.90, the bookstores said.
The four chains, with a total of 100 outlets nationwide, said they were protesting the indiscriminate discount and wanted to show customers that they were not "blatantly profiteering" from them.
However, they said they would honour all pre-orders. "This means the book will no longer be available for sale at these stores nationwide from tomorrow (Saturday) following the worldwide release," MPH Bookstores chief operating officer Patricia Chen said. "
All events related to Harry Potter will be cancelled," she said.
My problem with this statement is this. MPH have no more reason to sell Harry Potter 7 at their outlets, because there won't be anymore people buying from them. First and foremost, most people has already pre-ordered. For those who have not, you can always go buy your copies at Careffour, and Tesco , and guess what, at a cheaper price !!!
Okay la, supposedly you pay extra 40 bucks ya, you will "stand a chance" get some harry potter premiums. Hallo !!! Your mugs are out of stock liao, what a gimmick man !! Ceh !
Here, this is what Tesco and Careffour flers have to say about this
When contacted, Carrefour Malaysia corporate communications and public relations manager Yuswanis Yusof said they wanted to provide the best for their customers.
She said besides selling groceries and other essential products, the hypermarket wanted to provide a chance for their customers to purchase the book at a lower price.
"It all depends on how one markets and promote its products," she added.
Tesco Malaysia division manager Janice Chan when contacted said they wanted to make sure their customers could read the book at a cheaper price.
"We are popular for selling products at a lower price, and books are no exception.
In other words they are implying maybe or perhaps MPH has been short changing their customers. According to Sayang, when the previous book was released, kanasai MPH said, only those who pre ordered can get their books. Then they always out of stock la.. stock belum sampai la - delaying tactics.
Maybe amongst those who kena frustated from MPH's delaying tactics and high price happen to work in TESCO and/or Careffour leh ? [ have you ever thought about that ?]
Maybe MPH should help the general public by lowering the price of their books. Please do not forget, we earn our pays in Ringgit Malaysia, not in Pounds / US Dollar. Books are expensive for us, and I believe if the general public can buy the book at RM69.90[jimat 40 puluh linggit !!], everyone would have jumped at the opportunity. For those who PRE ORDERED, you should DEMAND for a REFUND !!!
On my last day in Penang, I told myself I had to pay a visit to the Penang Road kopitiam which until today I do not know whats the name. There must be three things to try at this Kopitiam. Their Asam Laksa, their char koay teo and the outside stall - Teochew Chendol.
When I arrived and found parking, I already notice people crowding around the Chendol Stall. So I took out my phone ( camera sudah hilang la )... and started recording.
Soon after I went into the coffee shop and ordered my laksa. The koay teo lady was no where to be seen, so had to wait a while la. I ordered my koay teo and everyone seems to understand cantonese nowadays.
So my laksa came, and hmm !! it was delicious. There is something different with this fella's asam laksa. I mean the soup tastes like it has tissue paper in it. Its suppose be the fish being mashed up and mixed up with the asam laksa soup. Yummy !! Quite Good i must say.
I also managed to record the Kung Fu of these Penang Char Koay Teo lady. Short NOTE: This CKT used to be my No1 Pick !!! The CKT arrived and I took a good look at it. RM3.50 for a plate, and her prawns are of quite decent size too. The first bite was quite inconclusive, so I took a second and a third. I hesitated a while, I told myself, today's Char koay Teo, not like last time's char koay teo already...
In the video, I also highlighted the little sticker they put on the table. It is clearly stated that they will charge you 50sen if you don't order any drinks.. KNNCCB. I ordered Chinese Tea Ice.. 60 sen ( sounds like day light robbery ). On Penang kopitiams will do this.....
Anyways I quickly finished my food, and proceeded out to order my Chendol. The young man taking care of the stall speaks good english and kept calling me sir... Fuiyoo, normally I call other ppl sir, now he call me sir !!!
Unfortunately for me, by the time I took one mouthful of it, the drizzle became rain... and guess what !! This Chendol Stall now has their own shop lot, to allow people to sit. That must have been the best news I have heard since I came to this Kopitiam.
Now you can BOYCOTT the Penang Road Kopitiam without having to boycott Penang Road Chendol. I mean to say, they don't charge you extra 50sen for sitting inside their new Chendol shoplot, unlike the kopitiam. The Asam Laksa really tasted like tissue paper, CKT punya quality also has gone down a lot recently.
Teochew Chendol - Really something to look forward to when in Penang
The Asam Laksa Stall
On a brighter note, you now no longer have to drive all the way down to Penang to taste their chendol. Just take a jam packed drive up to Giant USJ 1 and you can enjoy the same chendol. Lets boycott that blardy kopitiam... from now , and I will strike that location of my lists of must visit stalls in penang.
This trip I also didn't make it back for the New World Stalls. Must try and find that place next time hahahaha !!!
When I called Sayang this morning, she told me something about the increasing crime rate in Kepong. She's been hearing stories of her neighbour's houses getting bulgarized, slashed , etc.. and I found such a story online from TheStar Online. Its obviously bugging her a bit, so I am just going to start the ball rolling by doing some searches online.
Increase in crime rates
Posted by: chui488
I don't know if my neighbours feel the same as I do, but the thought of living in fear daily - being burglarized/slashed/robbed is definitely not the way I want to live in the neighbourhood of Kepong Baru, KL. Thieves/burglars are more brave to assault their victims with parangs etc in broad daylight. These days they not only break into your houses - as a matter of fact, they walk into your houses as though they are your friends, and they walk out of your houses thru the front gate. The neighbours won't even think it is a robbery taking place, while the burglars walk away free. What has this neighbourhood become? Almost everyday, you will hear one house on Jalan so-and-so, got broken into at 4 am in the morning. Then next day, it is the back of Jalan so-and-so that house got broken into. Who do we turn to at times like this? Yes, there is lots of anguish and frustrations but what can we do to ensure that this place is a safer place for OUR children to live in? Don't anybody care anymore? What is our MP Kepong doing about it to make it a safer place for us to live in? The crime rates has been increasing - does someone else has to die in another robbery/snatch theft before real action is being taken? There are too many access roads being opened making it easier for the getaway. Well, it is only 20 mins drive then you are already on LDP. I know that is this Visit Malaysia Year but that does not mean I welcome crime. Help us to live in a 0% crime environment. I definitely want my children to live in a safe and crime free environment.
She sounded quite concerned about her wellbeing, and is quite worried for the safety of her parents. What can 2 ladies and One man do ?
My initial reaction was to take up arms, be it our own Parangs, Guns, Spears, Bows & Arrows. Why do that ? To protect ourselves. As we know the Polis can't do shit about it until you get robbed. Crime prevention is not under the jurisdiction of the PDRM ( or is it ?). You can't lodge a report for feeling scared, or afraid that some joker might walk into your house and take your things. You can try, but the police officer will tell you to go home and watch more CSI instead. So the Polis, is not someone you can turn to. [so I suppose they wont be doing that ]
Crime prevention is not solely the responsibility of just the Police Force. We as residents of our respective housing estates, or districts should lend a helping in making our houses a safer place to be. Have you spoken to your Local Resident's Association , Rukun Tetangga, or your MP ? Does it exist ?
So far I found a few websites, namely Nwatch, USJ, PJNET, KK Community that actually has got an online presence and is actively involved in crime prevention. What about Kepong and Cheras ? Don't seem to be able to find any links regarding Kepong and Cheras....
You probably don't read too much of these stories online or on our local newspapers, unless someone got shot, or died from a snatch thief. I am not sure why, but perhaps or maybe the newspaper editors find these items not news worthy, or they are not in the business of telling the public how unsafe it is for us to live in KL.
A family house broken into in Cheras
I recently had a first hand account, of my friend , whose house was broken into. It happened just last month, when their house was broken into by 3 chinese guys ( ya chinese also in the business, not only Indons). One of those jokers were caught, clobbered up by his wife, and later tied up. Unfortunately the other 2 guys escaped with quite a bit of stuff, handphones, jewellery, etc.
I did not understand why that 1 guy was caught. Was he trying to hurt someone ? The story goes like this:
This mofo was trying to get into one of the rooms, where his son and daughter in law and grand kid was locked up inside (obviously to keep the kid safe la). This joker don't know for what reason, was trying to knock the door down. He managed to break the door knob and was trying to push his way into the room. He managed to get in halfway as his son pushed the door in and pinned him down. My friends wife, got a wrench and started clobbering the mofo. They had to clobber him until he was unconscious, before they tied him up.
The family was obviously upset for the past one month.
So WHAT's UP ?
These stories keep cropping up lately. So what can we do about this ? I really have no idea how to counter this man... I mean how prepared can we be, to face a situation when this jokers decide to walk into your house ?
Shoot to Kill ? Chop his fucking hands off ? Chop his cock off and feed to your dog ? or Invite them in and hope they don't hurt anyone ? [ any more ideas ? ]
In the meantime I am just going to read up a little bit more on some of these websites below.
