I was like… Oh my God! Astaghfirullah…! What the… ?
It happened so fast that there was nothing much that anybody can do anything about it…
I am talking about a snatch theft that took place right before my eyes earlier this afternoon while I was driving from KLCC to my office…
Jalan Ampang Hilir
For those who are familiar with Jalan Ampang Hilir between the Ampang Hilir Condominium and Lanson Place, you would know this place well. Quite an elite location in KL.
I was driving towards the roundabout and there was a car in front of mine and a motorcycle was in front of that car. Nothing out of the ordinary was noticed until suddenly the motorcyclist revved up his bike. I thought it was just another Mat Rempik in action. Shortly after that a guy came running onto the street and jumped to the back of the bike!
By this time I saw an Arab lady on the curb just next to the condo yelling with her hands flailing and grocery bags all over her feet. Only then I realized that she just got snatched and nobody could do anything. It happened within seconds… 1001, 1002, 1003… the thieves were gone…
I read lots of similar stories in the mass media and usually the first thing that came to mind was how come people were selfish or uncaring and let things just happen? Now that it had happened right before my eyes, I realized that under certain circumstances, there was really nothing much that we can do but feel sorry for the victim…
Even if you wanted to be a hero, you would never know what you are up against. Even if you have a black belt in Karate, you would still not be able to move faster than a bullet… Is the risk still worth it?
So people, especially the ladies, be careful when you are out there. Take extra precautions and be aware of things that go around you. Try not to expose your valuables. We have read a lot about these cases and some even resulted with permanent injuries as well as death…
Take care my friends!
