Robber's Attempt

This is a real story.
I need to share this for the benefit of all.
(dramatic tak bunyi?)

Jokes aside, one of our colleagues went through this traumatic event that almost
 cost her her car, or even her life. 
but Alhamdulillah, she managed to survive.

Ms N went out with her friends who came from Perak to Seksyen 7 Shah Alam.
She brought them to I-city for sightseeing etc. and it was about 11pm that they decided to head home.

Going out from I-City, in the car that Ms N was driving, 
they were queing to make a U-turn to head home.
Suddenly, an Indian man on a motorcycle came 
and asked them to go out from the line and out of the car.
Thankfully, they did not follow.Ii mean, seriously? Why would anybody?

So they proceed to make the u-turn and speed off. 
However, the man was not putting on hold or lose hope.
He pursued them and he was chasing them in his bike. 

They got scared. Really scared. 
He started to show a long metal and waving it around.
He was scaring them off.
Ms N being behind the wheel got even more scared.

She could not think straight.
She didn't know where to go. 
She even drove to around the Hotel Art area, 
where it could be quite dark and quiet to seek help.

Until she remembered the police station.
And in that kind of time, the only police station she could think of was in Section 8.

So she sped off to section 8, and while speeding, 
the man still kept on harrasing them.
He even drove in front of her car, and stopped.
He wanted them to knock him off.
The gesture was like inviting to be knocked off.
But she managed to divert her speeding car. 
At 180km/h, she was really taking a high risk of getting into 
an accident, especially at red stops.

Alas, she managed to find and went into the section 8 police station.
As soon as she got in, the man showed her the 
Magic Middle Finger, and went off.

She quickly got out of her car, trembling and 
crying so hard for what has happened. 

I am scared too just listening to her story.. 
this happened in Shah Alam.
We live in Shah Alam. and it doesnt feel safe anymore!

But the lessons that we have here is.. 

Dont go out at night. after 9pm. or 10pm.
it doesn't help that you have a man with you, cos
Ms N was with 1 man and 2 girls. 
 
Despite all the fear and adrenaline rush that you are having during that frightening moment,

a. Never open the window to succumb to the robber's needs
b. Think fast of the nearest police station that u can go to.
c. Honk your car all the way there to create attention.
d. Switch on your video from your phone. Capture the moment. 
This could be used as an evidence later to the police. It helps them to hunt him down.
e. Memorize the plat number.
f. Call 999. At least he can see you are talking to someone on the phone.

Unfortunately, she didnt do all above cos her mind got blank. 
But despite the chase and all, they managed to be safe and sound.
and now they are dealing with the post-trauma event.

Please be safe everybody.
