Remember what happened earlier this month? 2 robbery cases, victims from both cases were robbed and incapacitated, and people just passed by without attempting to help? Well, this is like a global phenomenon. I just read this from Yahoo! Taiwan that a woman was robbery before ATM, and lots of people just watched, no one tried to stop the robbery.

By the way, this happened on 19 July, 2012. Old news.
I know I know, this is old news from Taiwan, why am I even mentioning it?
My point is, this is human nature, it is universal, what a great news! Now the PR of our police can come out and speak loudly on TVs, radios, newspapers, and tell people, our crime rate is really low, just look at Taiwan, people are robbed under broad daylight in public downtown and no one helped. In Malaysia, we can exepct a lot of bystanders, gathering around to watch the whole incident. We are so much better than Taiwan.
Now, we can feel real safe in Malaysia. We should, because the police told us so.
Guess what? I watch over my back all the time. Only in Malaysia.
記得這月上半端的事嗎？兩起不同的搶刼案，受害人都在被搶刼後沒法行動，而路人經過都視而不見？這是自然現象。我剛在台灣版雅虎看到，在台灣有婦人在提款納機前被搶刼，路人都只是在看，沒人去阻止搶刼案。

發生在2012年7月19日。
對對對！這是台灣舊聞，提來幹啥？
這證明了這是人的天性，全世界的人都是這樣的，不止是馬來西亞。馬來西亞的警方的公關可以出來上電視，電台，報紙大聲的說了，看，馬來西亞很安全。比台灣安全多了。
警察可以叫我們在馬來西亞的人放心，馬來西亞很安全的。
我知道我在馬來西亞的時候，到處都要提防的。

Robbed twice in 7 hours
Yes, you are reading it right. A family in Kepong were robbed twice in 7 hours. I just saw this on the tv news. My search on youtube has nothing about this yet. Just like last week, Kepong residents came out to say that a lot of robberies had happened lately, and now this case in Kepong, again. What is the police going to say? Tell the public this is a false perception only? That the media is exaggerating? or even fabricating? I actually have a feeling that police is going to place a gag order on the media soon.
The government can keep on telling all the tourists, Malaysian citizens and residents that this is only a false perception, created by the media. But the victims of crimes know better.
Only in Malaysia.
剛在電視新聞看到，在甲洞有一家人在７小時內被搶刼兩次。又是甲洞。上星期甲洞的居民冒險上電視說出親身被打刼的驚心經歷，現在又有人被打刼。警方又要說只是假像？只是親聞媒體在誇大？我覺得警方快要命令新聞媒體不再報導搶刼案了。

20 ROBBERIES IN ONE MONTH
甲洞區向來是罪案黑區，現在當地居民忍無可忍，昨晚上電視新聞說在過去的一個月內，在同一區發生了２０宗入門搶刼案。勇敢的上電視說親身經歷的受害人，一名家庭主婦說：上星期她和女兒在家，屋內開著燈，搶匪也企圖破門入內，她女兒以手機打電話報警，她本身在屋內大喊，鄰居也大喊，才總算把搶匪嚇走。
這主婦真的很勇敢。警方三星期前公開說馬來西亞很安全，罪案率一直在下降；全是因爲媒體注重報導負面新聞，大肆報導任何罪案，才會令人有馬來西亞的罪案率很高的負面印象。
一個月內有20 起搶刼案，警方會不會說那只是那主婦的個人印象？
Kepong area of Kuala Lumpur City is always known as the "BLACK ZONE" when it comes to crime rate. Last night, the residents of Kepong said it on 8pm TV news, that 20 robberies had happened in Kepong over the past one month period.
A local resident, a home-maker, said it on the news, that last week, while she and her daughter was at home, robbers tried to force their way into her house. She screamed, and neighbours screamed, her daughtered tried to call police on her mobile phone, at last the robbers ran off. She is really brave to come out to say this.
Three weeks ago, police just said that Malaysia is really safe, crime rate is dropping, it is all the false perception created by the media by focusing on reporting negatives matters, like crimes.
20 robberies in one month in the same area, what will the police say to that? Will the police say that it is all the home-maker's personal false perception?
NOTE TO SELF: After a spell of sickness, finally I am back.

What will you do when you are the bystander?
2 days ago, in Air Itam, Penang, a Malaysian Chinese woman in her 60's, was robbed by a snatch-thief. Yesterday she passed away in the hospital, from the injuries she sustained from the robbery.
Last week, also in George Town, Penang, an artist/gallery-owner, was robbed in her gallery, the robbers cut her throat, but she was not killed.
What the 2 cases have in common? No people helped them.
In the case in Air Itam, newspapers ran the photos taken by the surveillance camera of the nearby motorcycle parking lot, which belongs to a flat. In the photos, the deceased was dragged by two snatch-thieves on a motorcycle, and her head hit the ground. And according to the footage, she laid there for hours, and at least 6 people passed by without anyone trying to help.
It was an elder man who needed a cane to walk that saw her and called for help.
And in the case last week, the artist/gallery-owner was robbed, cut, bleeding, and with her gallery door wide open, the lights well-lit in the gallery, she was on the floor, leaning on the wall, near the door, which was clearly visible to anyone passing by, and there were also a few people passed by. They did not help. Finally a man passing by called for help.
This is the scary fact of Malaysian society. No, we have never heard of people are sued after they helped victims of road accidents like what happened in China. We just do not help.
It is easy for those who are reading this kind of news to say anything, make any comments they want. But what are you going to do when it is right in front of you? I mean when you are the by-standers or the people passing the crime scene; what are you going to do? Will you call an ambulance? call the police?
And about calling an ambulance, I got a personal little story here:
I was living at Kepong at the time, my septuagenarian mother fainted one night, I tried to call ambulance, no one picked up the phone at the Selayang Government Hospital, out of desperation, I tried to call UM hospital, and a woman picked up the phone, but told me since I live in Kepong, call Selayang hospital. I had no car, at the end I called a friend with a 4-wheel-drive to help send my mother to hospital.
This is something really happenning in Malaysia, not something that happened in China, like the toddler who got hit by a car and people just let her died.
Remember, talk is cheap.
馬來西亞救傷電車話（固線）：９９１（救傷車），９９９（火災，救傷車通用）
你會打電話叫救傷車嗎？
上星期在檳城的喬治市，傍晚時分，有位女畫家在自己的畫廊內被打刼，刼匪把女畫家的頸割傷。女畫家在燈光明亮的畫廊內，癱在畫廊入口處的地上，倚著牆，頸部的傷口流著血，門外有好幾人走過，但沒人施以援手。最後是有個男人去叫救傷車。
兩天前，也是在檳城，有位６０歲的老婦，在晚上回家的路上，被搶機車的兩個刼匪打刼，人被拖在地上，頭部受傷，倒在地上。我看到的中文報在封面刋出了案發的連環照。這些連環照是從在近旁的組屋的機車場的監視器録下的的影帶中截取的。根據報導，在老婦被打刼受傷倒地後，起碼有６人經過，但他們都沒施援。最後是有位要靠拐杖走路的老生先經過，見到了去求救。
你是馬來西亞人又在場的話，你會怎麽做？不在現場的人，不是受害人，在看到新聞後，說甚麽都可以。但當你自己就是在場目睹的人呢？當你自己就是受害人呢？你會怎麽做？
在馬來西亞打電話叫救傷車是很折騰的事。我本身有這樣的經驗：我母親深夜在家中暈倒了，自己沒有汽車，就打電話去士拉央的政府醫院叫救傷車，電話是打通了，但一直沒人接。當時是住在甲洞，急了，就打去馬大醫院，有人接，但回說我竟然是住在甲洞，那該打去士拉央的政付醫院。結果，是打電話叫朋友開車來送我母親去醫院。
當時就算有人經過看到，馬上打電話叫救傷車，叫得到嗎？要等多久打會有人接電話？之後要等多久才有救傷車來？這是現實的馬來西亞。政府可以說馬來西亞如何好，各政府部門如何有效率，但人民知道本身的經驗才是真的。
