Fantastic Personal Security Idea
Next time you come home for the night and before you put your keys
away,
think of this :
It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and
requires
no installation.
Start keeping your car keys next to your bed on the night stand before
you
go to rest.
If you think someone is trying to get into your house, or if
you hear a noise outside your house, just press the alarm button
On the remote controller of your car.
Test it! It should be triggered on almost when you press in
everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your
battery runs down or until you reset it.
If your car alarm is activated when someone is trying to break in your
house, odds are the burglar or rapist won't stick around.....after a
few
seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who
is
out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that.
Try yours to make sure it works before you rely on it. Just
know that you must press the alarm button again to turn it off.
And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car at the
carpark
in the evening or while you are alone. The alarm can work the same way
there.....
This is something that should really be shared with everyone.
Maybe it could save a life or from a sex abuse.
So put those car keys & remote controller on the night table now!
Or if you're at work, forward this message to your home so that you
will
remember to do this tonight when you get home. Let the rest of the
family
know about this too.
And then, forward this to everyone you know.*
Nurin Jazlin among 17 children still on police list of missing persons
Nurin is among the 17 children under the age of nine – 10 boys and seven girls – on the police’s list of missing persons.
These children seem to have “vanished” between January and July this year, and have yet to be found. Some left their homes, and like Nurin, never returned. Others were lured away by friends.
They are among the 34 cases (under nine years old) reported to the police until July. Sixteen of the cases involve boys and 18 others are girls. Police have so far found six boys and 11 girls.
“There were other reasons as well, such as the children running away because they were not interested in studying anymore and wanted freedom.
“Many also cited being scolded by their parents and they felt their parents did not understand them, or they felt their parents did not care for them,” said CID director Commissioner Datuk Christopher Wan Soo Kee.
“But the main reason for the missing children was family dispute. Ten cases involved one parent taking away the child without informing the other after the couple divorced,” he said.
Wanita MCA chief Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen said society must accept that times have changed.
“We must re-look the value of trust. Urbanisation and progress bring development but also complicate society. We have all kinds of strangers around us and our children.
“The onus is on us, as parents, not to allow our children go out by themselves, even if it is to the grocery store. It is unfortunate, but we must also teach our children not to help strangers because the young ones are too innocent to differentiate between a ruse and a genuine cry for help,” said Dr Ng.
The Deputy Finance Minister said as harsh as it sounded, parents must also teach their children not to be trusting of strangers, teachers and even relatives.
“It has been proven that children have been terribly hurt by those closest to them. The bad person is not confined to the stranger on the street,” said Dr Ng.
She urged society to be caring enough to look out for all children.
“If you happen to come across a child in need, or one looking terrified as she is being held tightly by an adult, do not turn a blind eye, ask the child if he needs your help,” said Dr Ng.
Child psychologist and Suhakam commissioner Dr Chiam Heng Keng said adults could not expect children to have the ability to fend for themselves, or differentiate a “good” person from a “bad” one.
“Children below 10 are not mature enough to think rationally. In many advanced countries, the law forbids these children to be left alone at home or venture out on their own,” she said.
Recent News on the recent gruesome murder
By RASHITHA A. HAMID
Do you know her?: ACP Arjunaidi showing a picture of the naked girl whose body was found in a sports bag.
PETALING JAYA: A video footage of a motorist leaving a sports bag at the staircase of a shop here holds the key to solving the case of a little girl whose naked body was found at the site.
It is learnt that police are viewing the recording captured by closed circuit television (CCTV) and are hoping to obtain crucial information that can lead them to the arrest of the sadist who murdered the yet-to-be identified girl.
Also recorded were images of a woman loitering around the area and getting into a car.
Sources said police had several other leads but are tight-lipped to ensure that investigations into the much-publicised murder are not jeopardised.
It is learnt that several strands of hairs, not belonging to the girl, were also found on her.
A huge banner, measuring 13m by 4m, hangs over the Sunway toll plaza of the LDP highway in Subang Jaya urging motorists to keep a lookout for Nurin Jazlin Jazimin. The banner is sponsored by Takaful Ikhlas with highway operator Litrak providing the space. More than 20,000 leaflets were also distributed to motorists at all Litrak and Sprint toll plazas. — ABDUL RAHMAN SENIN
Selangor CID chief Senior Asst Comm (II) Mazlan Mansor, when contacted, confirmed that police have some leads but declined to elaborate.
However, police are stumped as to why no one has come forward to identify the body or report about their missing daughter.
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohd said the post-mortem conducted on the girl revealed the cause of death as a ruptured intestine and massive bleeding.
“However, no seminal stains were found in the girl’s private parts, besides the cucumber and brinjal,” he said.
On Monday, the naked body of the girl, believed to be between six and nine years old, was found stuffed into a sports bag and left at the staircase of a shoplot in PJS1/48 Petaling Utama.
There were bruises on her neck, suggesting that she may have been strangled, and her hands.
Police also took DNA samples from the parents of Nurin Jazlin Jazimin, an eight-year-old girl who has been reported missing since Aug 22 after she went to a pasar malam near her house in Wangsa Maju on her own.
Nurin’s parents were called to view the body of the girl on Monday and had said it was not their daughter.
ACP Arjunaidi said police also contacted all district police stations to check on their missing-girl reports.
The body-in-the-bag girl weighed about 18kg and was about 150cm in height. Police also found a birthmark on her left thigh.
A supervisor with a book distributing company found the black-and-blue bag at 8.30am at the staircase of her office. She thought the bag belonged to her employer who had just returned from Singapore.
Her boss, who came into the office later, was horrified when he opened the bag and saw a pair of legs.
Police are appealing to those with missing daughters to call the district police headquarters here at 03-7966 2222.
Meanwhile, MCA Public Complaints and Services Department head Datuk Michael Chong said a RM20,000 reward would be given to those who could provide information leading to the arrest of the girl’s killer.
He said RM10,000 was from the MCA and the remaining RM10,000 from a Datuk who did not want to be identified.
DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said the public, including children, had the right to live, work, study and play in a safe and secure environment.
He said DAP hoped the police would solve the case soon.

Child found sexually assaulted and killed
rashitha@thestar.com.my
PETALING JAYA: She was just a little girl. But that did not stop some sick monster from killing her after sexually assaulting her.
Her naked body was stuffed into a sports bag and left at the staircase of a shop lot in PJS1/48 Petaling Utama yesterday.
There were bruises on her neck, suggesting that she may have been strangled. There were also bruises on her hands.
The girl, said to be between six and nine, was initially feared to be eight-year-old Nurin Jazlin Jazimin who has been reported missing. But Nurin Jazlin’s parents, who rushed to the Hospital Kuala Lumpur mortuary, said it was not their daughter.
A supervisor with a book distributing company Cheng Yan Fang, 32, found the black-and-blue sports bag at 8.30am outside the premises. She thought the bag belonged to her employer who had just returned from Singapore.
Jack Yeoh Huat Lip, 51, the general manager of the company came in 30 minutes later and said the bag was not his.
When he opened it, he was horrified to see a pair of legs. He immediately called the police.
Gruesome find: The bag (inset) in which the body was found was just outside the premises of a book distributing company in Petaling Jaya.
“Saturday was a half day and the office was closed yesterday,” Yeoh said, adding that the supervisor who left the office at 1pm on Saturday did not see anything near the staircase then.
Petaling Jaya police chief Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohd confirmed a post mortem report that the killer had placed a cucumber and a brinjal in the girl’s private parts.
“She must have endured so much pain before she died,” he said.
Police believe the girl, whose identity has not been ascertained, had been dead for more than six hours before her body was found.
Police are appealing to those with missing daughters to call the district police headquarters here at 03-79562222. No arrest has been made yet.

Girl Killed, The Star
 |
Shearwey Ooi Ying Ying |
She is believed to have been murdered and her bone fragments strewn in at least four different places – a cemetery, river and an apartment dumpsite in Paya Terubong and another river in Jalan Air Itam.
Penang CPO Deputy Commissioner Datuk Koh Hong Sun said a woman and her boyfriend were arrested at the Bayan Lepas police station at 1pm yesterday in connection with the little girl's death.
The murder allegedly took place in the couple’s rented apartment in Bandar Baru Air Itam on Friday, the day the girl was reported missing by her mother Jess Teh.
It is learnt the man could have killed the girl while the woman, a close relative, was at work. He then brought the body to a nearby cemetery where he burnt the body using kerosene.
After being arrested, the suspect brought a police team, led by forensic pathologist Datuk Dr Bhupinder Singh to the cemetery at 7pm where they found a bone fragment near a tombstone. The girl’s burnt pyjamas were recovered from a nearby river, wrapped in a black plastic bag.
The search later continued at an apartment in Lintang Paya Terubong before proceeding to another river at Jalan Air Itam. The two were then brought back to their rented apartment as police searched for more leads.
Teh, 28, who is in the midst of a divorce, had told a press conference on Saturday that she left Ying Ying outside her car near the Bayan Baru market when she went to pay for her parking ticket and found the girl missing when she returned.
She had appealed to the Penang MCA and the public to help find the girl, leading to a state-wide search involving over 1,000 party members. Thousands of posters of Ying Ying were printed and distributed as well as put up in public places in the hope of finding the girl alive.

Suspect: Two policemen leading the suspect to the rented apartment in Bandar Baru Air Itam to look for leads. |
Ying Ying's uncle Ooi Eng Hiap, 25, was shocked to learn of his niece's death last night.
“She did not have to die this way,” he said, adding that he had yet to relay the tragic news to his brother, Eng Chew (Ying Ying's father).
Eng Chew had planned to return from Yunnan, China today.
At Ying Ying's grandparents' home in Bandar Baru Air Itam, loud wails and sobs could be heard several doors away.
“Why take the life of an innocent child? I took care of her until she was so big and they killed her just like that,” the grandmother was heard saying in between sobs. The family refused to speak to the press.
State MCA Wanita chief Ooi Siew Kim said: “Ying Ying was an innocent child and we are very sad that things have turned out this way.”
Bayan Baru MP Datuk Wong Kam Hoong, who had offered a RM10,000 reward to locate the girl, described the news as “shocking”.
“We never expected such a tragic end. We had hoped to reunite the family,” he said.
