Another Attempted Robbery last night (30 July 2008)

Last night there was another attempted robbery, this time at house 10, Jalan SS22/32. The husband and wife came back at around 1am. When he got down from his car, 2 robbers with parang and gun shouted at him (in Chinese dialect) that it's a robbery and attacked him. The robbers had tailed him home in a RED PROTON WIRA. The man out of instinct fought back against the robbers. Fortunately for him he was not injured, just shaken.

His wife screamed for help. That woke up the neighbors who turned on the lights and some came out to look/assist. The robber fired the gun into the air and took off without getting anything. The police was called and they arrived within 10 minutes, which is very good. It shows that the police are improving on their response time.

When I related that incident to another resident, he told me he got back home at 12.45pm last night (this morning) and saw a red car following behind him. He didn't notice what make of car it was as he was on the mobile. He was suspicious and did not open the house gate nor get down from his car when he reached outside his home. The red car slowed down behind him and then slowly drove away. He saw two decently dressed men in the car who glanced at him as they passed by.

Mr Yew has confirmed that the red car has been spotted around DJ a number of times and the police are also keeping an eye out for it. Those robbers have striked before.

The said resident at house 10, Jalan SS22/32 is one that did not want to sign up as a supporter of our security project. We will be going there to see his wife and hopefully this time they will support our project for a safer neighborhood.

So here's a warning to all of you. Please watch out for a Red Proton Wira (or any suspicous car) and also motorbikes that is cruising around our neighborhood at night, especially for those who come back late at night. It could be the robbers tailing you, surveying the neighborhood and looking for their next target. If you see such a car, please call the police (ASP Ranjit - 019 550 5033) and report it to him right away. They are on the police wanted list.

Do let me know too so that I can keep all updated and informed on the situation. I do not wish for any untoward thing to happen to any of our residents.

So please be alert always and do take extra precaution when you are returning home, what ever time it is. Our neighborhood is not safe.

I am pushing hard to get this project up and running as soon as possible. There are still hurdles that we need to address. With the help of everyone and the blessings of the all mighty up there, we will have our gated and guarded neighborhood up and running before too long.

Remember, safety is all our concern. Let's keep and eye out for each other.
