Dear ALL,
Received an email from a friend and this is really frightening....
Just to share that I myself have also encountered a group of Mat Rempit's
saga along the Seremban Highway recently after returning from a reunion
dinner.
I was driving in the night from KL through the Federal Highway. I
turn left towards the Seremban Highway just after Taman Seputeh corner.
There were more than 200 motorbikes parked on the left side of the road.
My focus was on the right as I was joining the Seremban Highway. To my
surprise, the motorbikes on the left quietly switch on their engine and
then their lights.
I was lucky as there was another car coming from the
Federal Highway and I press on the accelerator to join the on coming car
so that I have company in speeding away from these group of Mat Rempit.
They did not bother but continue to drive and speed along with us. There
was about 10 motorbikes in front of us to which there have cornered the
road in guiding us to go into the Taman Permaisuri where you would have
read in the papers how people get rope into the area and be targeted for
robbery,....etc.
It was a very frightening moment but the driver of the car in front sped
on and so did I following closely. After another 3 minutes of speeding, I
saw a patrol car behind us and we were so blessed. They drove by to ensure
that we pass the Connaught toll and the Mat Rempits were no where to be
seen......
After reaching home, I started calling my girlfriends who were also
driving back home after our dinner outing. Glad to know that all of them
were safe home.....
So girls or guys out there, you never know what will happen with road
bullies and Mat Rempits..... just be careful. It is good to keep the phone
number given below in your mobile.....
Subject: This happened to my FREN's immediate boss.
My boss almost got carjacked yesterday. She sent out an email to the
entire department telling her story - as a caution to all single women
drivers. It sounds damn scary. Can not imagine what I'll do if I was in
her position. Girls, please be careful and be wary of your surroundings -
bad things can happen DAY OR NIGHT - bad guys don't CARE anymore.
Here is her email:
Colleagues,
I was chased and attacked by a group of men in 2 cars trying to hijack my
car in the afternoon yesterday.
I was driving my husband's car alone on my
way back from mid valley at about 4.30pm and only noticed these 2 cars as
I was turning left into jalan beringin, damansara heights. They came
awfully close and fast which I thought strange as it was a residential
area and full of road humps. Then the first car (which was a E class
Mercedes) came to my side and the passenger (had a policeman's hat but not
in uniform) had a walkie talkie and was gesturing for me to stop. When I
didn't, he overtook and parked in front of me and the second car (which
was the new 3 series BMW) was parked right behind me. the guy came up to
my window and using his walkie talkie again, was frantically asking me to
wind down - it was that split second that I realized that they weren't
undercover cops (yes sounds silly now when one is rational!) and I just
reversed and drove off. Both cars were chasing me trying to swerve and
corner me.
I was stopped 3 times by them - the second time was the road downhill
between SC and the Science Centre and the same guy from the Merc came out
- this time with a parang. I reversed as far as I could - these people
were definitely professionals and didn't want their cars damaged cos
everytime I reversed, the bmw at the back also reversed. I thought I'd be
safe going onto a public road so I went on the sprint highway - they
continued to chase and managed to stop me again- and I was on the fast
lane of sprint highway (right between the SC and Bukit Kiara) and there
were plenty of traffic - and this time - they parked so close to me - one
in front and one at the back and the guy with the parang came out and this
time was smashing with full force at my driver's seat window. Another guy
came from the black bmw and started hitting on my passenger seat window -
there were plenty of cars but no one stopped or honked despite seeing
these 2 men smashing my car. I just reversed not caring if my car got
knocked and trying to get some space so that I can drive out and finally
managed to. I lost them when I turned onto jalan damansara highway.
It is absolutely traumatizing as I, like many, only read about this.. but
the audacity and desperation for them to be doing this in broad daylight
and at such a public place is unimaginable. I am so thankful that I am ok
but I have to write this because i know many of us take it for granted
that it would not happen to us.. but it has happened and it will happen
again. Please please be careful - one can never be vigilant enough.
you've read it all:
1. ladies - don't drive home alone at night - they will target
women driving alone - day or night.
2. don't stop when you're being chased
3. know that they're not the real cops when the proper police cars
are not being used
I was given this no. by the inspector - 2274 4465 - it's the Bilik
Gerakan in Brickfields and if you think you're being followed or chased -
call this no. and they will send a mobile team who's nearest to where you
are.
P/S: Victim's names have been witheld for security reasons
