Robbery At UTAR - Bandar Sungai Long

I came across this posting "Robbery At UTAR - Bandar Sungai Long" on iMalaysian Blog.

Please read it as the UTAR student who was almost robbed described the
robbers and the tactics they used. He also claimed that he may
have received calls from one of the robbers in response to his ad for
house mate. This indicated that he has been watched and followed!

Read also the advises he provided through this experience.

To Detect a Two-way Mirror (Hoax)

Snopes reported that this email message is a hoax. eHow provides a simple explanation on what a two-way mirror is and how you can detect it.
===================================================================================
Beware of Mirrors in Hotels or Public Washroom! Because you never know!

How to determine if a mirror is a 2 way or not (Not a Joke!) Not to scare you, but to make you aware. A policewoman who travels all over the US and gives seminars and techniques for businesswomen passed this on.

HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR:


When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc. How many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror (i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them).
There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it.
So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at?


Just conduct this simple test:
Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror.
However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, FOR IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR!!


So remember , every time you see a mirror, do the 'fingernail test.' It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do, and it might save you from 'unwanted eyes'!
This is a really good thing to do.


The reason there is a gap on a real mirror, is because the silver is on the back of the mirror UNDER the glass. As a two-way mirror, the silver is on the surface. Keep it in mind!

Ladies: Share this with your girl friends.
Men: Share this with your wives, daughters and/or girlfriend or friends.

Safety for Girls

Robbery at Hair Salon in Sg. Long

This incident happened to a resident in Sg. Long. Though she suggested that it is best to carry photocopy of MyKad instead of the original copy, I think that it is not acceptable by relevant authorities, example, police at road blocks.

It is best to make copies of all your important documents like birth or marriage certificates, identity cards, etc. Accept for the identity cards, which you should have with you at all times when you are out of the house, keep all the photocopies together with your original copies in a clear holder file.

That way, if you need to go to a statutory board to have some matters settled, you will be assured that all your personal documents are intact when you bring that file with you. This will prevent stress and delays in getting your request processed because of missing documents required. Also, it maybe more expensive to make copies of documents at statutory offices.

Useful links to look up:

1) What you should do if you have been robbed.

2) All articles on Crime Alert.

3) If you are not from Malaysia: List of identity card policies by country

=============================================================================

I was in one of the Hair Salon in Sg. Long. at 6:30pm, 2 Chinese Young robbers, went into hair salon, and taken almost all wallet & HP of about 5 customers, and 4 men staffs. 2 guys came in with Long, sharp "Parang", lucky everyone has been cooperative to give what they want. They went off with another driver in a car Putra, with no Car plate.
Nothing we can do, just drop a few lines for all of you, not to bring so much cash out from house, and photocopy all your important document! Now i learnt my lesson, i should be bringing out a photocopy IC instead of original. And get ready all the important credit card call centre with you. Thanks.
Be Very street smart, when you are with your kids, eg: with / without grocery shopping,or morning market, your children must be the priority! Eg:, never leave your car door open , with children in the car, when you just drop by at friends' house to take something, or your own house! Nowadays, many people jobless, so, may be they have no way out. They will have creative funny idea to get money. Please take care of your family & children for me, i really Cannot sleep the whole night!!

Sharing your PowerPoint Slides

If you have not noticed, I have been clearing my emails recently. In the process, I came across many attachments of PowerPoint slides with very useful information on them. I was not able to share them earlier as I did not know how to download them on my blogs until I discovered Slide Share.

Dave shares what this is about.



Here are the steps if you would like to share slides on your blogs.

1) Go to Slide Share.
2) You have the option to sign up as a member to upload your slides or you can do it as a guest. I have 2 accounts there as I have posted some of my slides as a guest.
3) Click on "Upload" which is on the top left hand corner of the screen.
4) Browse to locate the file you would like to upload. If your PowerPoint slides is an email attachment, you will have to download it to your drive first. I downloaded slides I have received on my desktop and delete them after I have posted them on Slide Share. That way, the desktop will not be clutter with files thus slowing down my system.
5) Once the uploading has been completed, you have to indicate whether you want your slides to be viewed by everyone on the site. Put a description to the slides you are uploading then click "Publish". You can also opt to delete file if you change your mind.
6) You will have to wait for a while to have your slides converted and posted on the website.

Trained philosophers at your finger tips

Do you have a question to ask but do not know who to turn to for answers? Maybe, it is a question raised by your children and you are wondering how best to answer them.

Don't turn your hair white thinking about it. Just go to Ask Philosophers, a website set up by an Amherst philosophy professor, Alexander George, and ask away. Your questions will be answered by thoughtful folks who are knowledgeable trained philosophers.

Not happy with the answer? Don't suffer in silence, join their AskPhilosophers Group to discuss it and find better answers.

Professor Alexander George efforts has also inspired the creation of Philosophy for Kids and a book, “What Would Socrates Say?”, which is a compilation of some of the best questions and answers from Ask Philosophers.

As the name of the book implies, you have been warned. At Ask Philosophers, your question maybe answered with a question ala Socratic.

Valued Insights from George Carlin

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

New Robbery method @ Ngee Ann city

Just received this latest theft technique used by robbers. It seems feasible so take heed.

Warning for all the ladies out there and men please inform your significant other. (And, hey, it could happen to the guys!) The
Latest Scam: Robbing Females using the restroom/'ladies'/bathroom at a Shopping Mall......

The way the scam works is, a man slips into a women's rest room and sneaks into a unit. He waits until there is only one woman in the restroom in a neighbouring unit/stall. The criminal then stands on the toilet ! seat and points a hand gun into the next stall, demanding the woman's valuables. After getting her cash and jewellery, he demands that she remove all of her clothing and kick them out of the unit/stall. The thief tosses the clothing into a shopping bag, hangs a! n 'out of order sign' on the restroom door outside, and slips backinto the mall.
The 'out of order sign' ensures no one will soon come to the woman's rescue. It usually takes an hour or two for the woman to work up the nerve to leave the rest room in the nude, giving the criminal ample time to make his get away. The woman is left naked humiliated in a mall full of strangers.

The best defence, say police, is to never go into a shopping mall restroom alone, as only women who are by themselves are targeted.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. This has so far been a nearly perfect crime, as none of the perpetrators have been caught.

A GLASS OF MILK

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.

He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked
hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"

"You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."

He said ... "Then I thank you from my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strengthened also. He had been ready to give up and quit before that incident.

Many years later that same young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.

Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes.

Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor's gown, he went in to see her. He recognized her at once.

He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day, he gave special attention to her case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won.

Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words ...

"Paid in full for one glass of milk
(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly"

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, God,
that Your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands."

There's a saying which goes something like this:

Bread cast on the waters comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or
someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again,at least you will have made the world a better place -- and, after all,isn't that what life is all about?

Drivers be warned

I have not verified if these are true stories but I have posted a very useful guide earlier to prevent this from happening.
=================================================================================

CASE 1: SHAH ALAM

After shopping in 'Macro' Shah Alam, a couple was pushing their trolley to their Pajero. The husband went ahead first to get their Pajero. He was reversed the vehicle to where his wife was standing and came out to help the wife load their purchases at the back. While doing so, a guy quickly rushed into the vehicle and drove it off. We saw the wife shouting and running after their vehicle whilst the husband just froze from shock. Shortly after regaining his senses he too joined his wife in chasing after his vehicle but finally had to give up cos the Pajero has sped off… They reported the incident to the Macro's security… but there was nothing much they could do…

CASE 2: TAMAN TUN DR ISMAIL

For your safety have a look at this danger point when stopping at petrol stations. A couple in a Honda Civic stopped by a shop in TTDI. The husband went down to buy a packet of cigarettes at the counter. Whilst in full view of the husband, 5 male Indonesians jumped into the car and drove it away with his wife in it…. She was seen screaming and the husband was shouting but it was too late... they have driven off with his car and wife.

Similar reports are heard everyday...we certainly have to be more cautious.

CASE 3: KLCC/TABUNG HAJI

Another area reported by taxi drivers is the KLCC Suria complex. Make this known to all your friends… especially ladies BEWARE!

A good friend of mine lost her handbag, a few thousand ringgit and all her important documents in it while she was filling petrol at a service station near Tabung Haji recently. The handbag was at the back seat and her car was locked. She went to pay for petrol before filling it (self-service) not realizing and knowing that someone was trying! to open the back door while she was away at the counter. When she came back to her car no one was there and did not notice that the back door was already unlocked. Just when she was about to fill the tank, a guy appeared, coolly opened her rear car door and took her handbag and ran off on a waiting motorcycle nearby. My friend was hysterical but everything happened so fast and the two thieves escaped. A police report was made… and can you imagine, my friend's case was the 78th case in that area reported to the police for that week alone and most of the victims were ladies.

Well, even when you lock your car doors, something like this still can happen… what more if you had left it unlocked....So, take care.

CASE 4: TAIPAN TRIANGLE USJ (MCDONALD'S)

This incident happened right in front of USJ Taipan McDonalds on a Saturday nite (17 April). Two armed guys got into the car trying to abduct a lady and her car .. she managed to put up a fight with them and the guys then try to push her out of the car... She was dragged on the road with one of her leg out of the car for more than 200 meters… finally they took her in the car !!

They threatened to KILL her.. but somehow or rather she managed to escape !

CASE 5: USJ

A man was kidnapped and taken away with his car on Thursday nite!! The incident started when a car rammed into his car from the back. He was flagged to stop to talk about the accident, when he stopped his car....four guys went straight into his car with parangs. They blindfolded and took him with them. He was taken to an isolated place ...where managed to escape with some struggle .He was badly injured by parangs when he put up a struggle. Pray for God's protection on all of us.

So please be very careful when you drive alone…

Keep your doors lock whether you are in a public area or in isolate place as it can happen... to YOU !!!!!! .

There bad guys are waiting for victims for their next strike…………………………every single seconds.

The sad truth was that ... while there were many people in USJ Taipan who saw the first robbery.....nobody really bothered to help…!! So please help yourself first, lock your car doors at all times!! And be constantly ALERT!!

Don't wait for incident to happen it is too late to regret………………..

Its a desperate time right now for robbers……… based on the news you hear or read daily.

So please be careful as the saying goes……………prevention is better then cure!!!!!!!.

Deep Thoughts from Children

From an actual newspaper contest where entrants age 4 to 15 were asked to imitate "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey."...

I believe you should live each day as if it is your last, which is why I don't have any clean laundry because, come on, who wants to wash clothes on the last day of their life? -- Age 15

Give me the strength to change the things I can, the grace to accept the things I cannot, and a great big bag of money. -- Age 13

Democracy is a beautiful thing, except for that part about letting just any old yokel vote. -- Age 10

For centuries, people thought the moon was made of green cheese. Then the astronauts found that the moon is really a big hard rock. That's what happens to cheese when you leave it out. -- Age 6

Think of the biggest number you can. Now add five. Then, imagine if you had that many Twinkies. Wow, that's five more than the biggest number you could come up with! -- Age 6

As you make your way through this hectic world of ours, set aside a few minutes each day. At the end of the year, you'll have a couple of days saved up. -- Age 7

Often, when I am reading a good book, I stop and thank my teacher. That is, I used to, until she got an unlisted number. -- Age 15

It would be terrible if the Red Cross Bloodmobile got into an accident. No, wait. That would be good because if anyone needed it, the blood would be right there. -- Age 5

Error reports when using firefox

Since I have recommended using Firefox as a browser, I think I should advise of the possible problem you will face with it.

It is the "error report" that appears before Firefox browser closes down on you just as soon as you click on the "Mozilla Firefox" icon on your desktop. There is an option to send the errors reports to Microsoft. As this happens to me often, I did a search and found the solution on Yahoo! Answers.

SharksRule in his reply provided the steps to disable Windows' error reporting system.

1) Click on "Start"
2) Click on Run
3) Type "sysdm.cpl"
4) Click on OK
5) Go to the "Advanced" tab at System Properties Box
6) Click on the "Error Reporting" button
7) Select the "Disable Error Reporting" option and the box for "But notify me when critical errors occur" will be checked.
8) Click OK to apply and OK again to close the box.

I have just done that. You will hear from me again if I have any more problem with error reports.

ATM users be cautious

I would like to share a real life story with all my friends and especially all my colleagues and all Maybank account holders.

This incident happened on today evening (1 April 2008). I went to the PJ State (Also known as PJ New Town) Maybank to withdraw RM500. Unfortunately for me, only 9 RM50 notes came out instead of 10.

What happened was, one of the RM50 notes was folded exactly in half and placed at a corner of the stack (Please refer to the attached pictures showing how two RM50 notes can be counted as three).




I was so upset because I have no proof that the ATM did not give me the correct amount. After much hesitation, I finally decided to call Maybank to complain about the incident knowing that I may not get back my money. But at least I can caution them of such incident. When I told of my situation to the Maybank Customer Service Representative, to my surprise, I was informed that I'm not the first victim. It seems that similar cases have occurred before. The lady explained that it is the malfunction of the ATM and the money may accidentally get folded in half. However when questioned, she was unable to explain to me why the money can be folded exactly in half and placed nicely in the corner of the stack.

I believe this is the new technique of cheating money, done by the people who are responsible of placing the money into the ATMs. In the stack of money which is to be placed into the ATM, one RM50 note is folded nicely in half, for every one note taken out of the stack of money. The folded RM50 notes are then placed at the edge of the stack and positioned in the ATM where the money would be counted. With that done, every one folded note would be counted by the machine as two notes.

I may be wrong about how and why it happened, but I would like to warn everyone about this incident. Please be careful when withdrawing money from the ATM (it may happen to other banks as well) and do count your money to be sure. If such an incident really happened to you (*touch wood*), please do call up the bank to complain about this. If everyone keeps quiet about this, the bank may be unaware of such incidents and the people responsible may just continue doing what they do without getting caught! Even if it is actually because of the ATM malfunctioning, the bank should know about this and there is also a chance of you getting your money back.

Working Mood Change..

How would your mood be during work days? If it is a job I hate, I would pick Friday's baby to represent my Monday blues. Just can't get myself up to go to work. Comes Saturday, I will be beaming like Wednesday's baby. When I was getting lots of perks from my last company, I report to work looking content like Monday's baby.

What about you?

Sick leave

I urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew the Boss would
not allow me to take leave. I thought that maybe if I acted "CRAZY" then
he would tell me to take a few days off.

So I hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises. My
co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing. I told her that I was
pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss would think I was "CRAZY"
and give me a few days off.

A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked,
"What are you doing?" I told him I was a light bulb.

He said, "You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate
for a couple of days". I jumped down and walked out of the office.

When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the Boss asked her,
"... And where do you think you're going?"

(You're gonna love this...)

She said, "I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark."

I wish you the strength of all elements

It's Earth Day and I cannot think of a better slide to share today.
