i think cannot say tat, everywhere also have crime. in singapore
ppl cut ppl to pieces... etc...
Personally i stay in jb as well and drive a sg SUV.
I think main thing is... must be street wise and alert no matter
where you are.
Got one time when my car broke down in the middle of the night, one
guy stop and try to ask for direction.. he walk near me 3 steps and
i would back off 3 steps so he can be in my full view where i can
know every action of his body. Maybe he meant no harm but for
safety we give no chance for any bad thing to happen.
Just like if u putting a wallet/hp on a table in hawker centre
either in sg or m'sia it does happen ppl grab and run. But if u
don't put ur wallet/hp there, it would have prevent these kind of
things happen.
Sometimes u must be brave/calm when encounter any bad things. don't
be scared till u have no strength to move.
When calm u can think proper solution
And be brave, and be more agressive than the attacker and u can
protect urself. u afraid of pain, ur attacker also afraid of
pain.
Think of death is nothing at the point ur life is at stake, u will
then able to be safe. if u scare of death, u be afraid and lose
calm and do not know wat to react. Definitely if u know martial art
can play one role to protect ur own self as well. But main thing is
'BE CALM'
Also one time when i was at my friend house in broad day light, a
thief was stealing the gas. the neighbour saw and keep quiet. So i
go and scream to the thief, but thief was not even panick and even
slowly throw the gas outside the compound of the house. So tat time
i took a wooden staff and try open the door and give a chase only
then he immediate ride motor bike off.
because nowsday ppl outside look strong and muscle but inside are
timid and weak that cz more and more crime to take place.
Lets be brave and be more helpful to each other then we can create
a peaceful world no matter where we are.
If today we don't help ppl in need, future when we in need we will
meet the same kind of ppl who don't help us.
