That's So Sandy....: Fight Crime.

So, Im provoked again by something that is going really beyond our control....the CRIME RATE...It's so obvious that the rate has been shooting up since the beginning of 2013. Oh well,not to trust wholely on the statistics alone....what is obvious is that this year,we could hear many more cases compared to the corresponding period of last year.The crime index may show a litttle drop in percentage maybe...but I guess,there must be many unreported cases,thus making it tougher for the authority to compile the exact number. Who to be blamed?

So far as I'm concerned..the government is doing all that is possible to stop these things from occurring. There are a number organisations which had been established as a measure of prevention....like MARAH , PEMANDU.....[all that I know la...]..but ya,it don't seem to work still.too bad...
cause sometimes,right or wrong,the police often regarded some cases like snatch theft,and break-in as "petty crimes"...,given that they have to deal with thousands of cases.

3 days back,one of my neighbour was slashed,together with his two other relatives, in front of Bt.Caves for no proper reason.He's now admitted in GH and is in serious condition. He's 60,a diabetic patient and high blood pressure...So,you know exactly what im trying to say right?...Even if he survived, he'd have to bare this consequences for his entire life. Well,I don't think this case have been reported anywhere.
Kids are gone missing and later found lifeless.Jethendran,16 is missing for about 3 weeks already now...No idea what happened to him.Much sad to know,that he's someone I know. We can just pray that these kids are all safe ,perhaps somewhere,if not with the family.

So, fighting crime is just not the authority's duty no?..Also us,...each of us individuals..prevention is all we should be doing to play our part as a citizen. Its true that sometimes we can't avoid circumstances...,if things can go wrong it will [Murphey's law] lol =D
S*** happens.=p
Who knows,it can happen to me also...jeng,jeng,jeng [eyes wide open]

But,no matter what,in the end,if some unwanted things happen on us,I hope "ourselves" will be the first to be blamed. Its a matter of creating a situation where you know its not safe....,yet you do it. We are asking for it most of the times...yes,OURSELVES.

So,here are some tips where I would want to suggest in order to either prevent yourself from being the victim,or being the one who commits the crime....

1. IF YOU TRAVELLING IN A PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OR WALKING ON ROAD..(girls especially)

* wear a head set,and tuck ur phone/mp3 in the pocket,not on ur hands..
put ur music in the least of the volume,so that you're still aware of what's going on outside.
* Be observant,and take note of every single detail about your surroundings.(alert)
* If somebody looking "dangerous" approaches you for directions,do not make eyes contact,pretend as if you never hear them. (remember,you are on ur headset).
* If you can feel some sort of harassment in a over crowded bus or train, turn at them, look straight into the eyes; with a stern,loud and ,firm voice, say "Excuse me sir,can you move a little????? TQ ."...[make sure others hear that too]...I think that'll be polite enough for him not to take revenge ..and for goodness sake, do not stay in that place for long.
* Do not talk on phone,unless it's urgent. ( one can know that u r nt focused during a conversation]
* Don't act as if a hero wanting to help someone...You don't have to. [unless you felt no harm]
* Don't walk in a dark,lonely place.
* Do not wear jewelleries [though you would wana fancy the most latest design....the snatcher will fancy it even more]
* If you are wearing some sort of "sentimental" chains,cover with a scarf around ur neck. [having a scarf will help you in many ways]
* You are not going for a nite walk,so pls walk fast.No need for "anna nades'".
* watch your own behaviours,cause there'll be another eyes watching over you.
* Take note of vehicles which passes by you more then once.
* If you have a pepper spray or a pen knife,do not expose them unless its necessary. [attacker can always snatch dat and use those on u]

2. CHILD KIDNAPPING/ ABUSE

* take note of scars or wounds' on a child body ,and share the info with somebody. [do not keep to yourself]
* if you hear frequent cries from your neighbours house,asked them whats happening.
There's chance to get harsh replies..,but at least, they know that there's someone concerned.
* Do not take your child to a crowded place....unless you can't avoid,hold them tightly and always keep an eye on what they do,or where they go.
* always make sure children know your number,name and where they stay, and what to do if they are lost.
* teach children how to shout for help in case of abduction.
* do not get into a taxi without company.

3. REMEMBER THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU.

* avoid getting caught with loan sharks
* don't keep depts for long.
* Do not over-react and create scenes.If you sense some kind of boundary violation,shut up and walk off. [No situation to proof your dignity + You're not a coward + It just mean you know self-respect]
* Avoid getting yourself into gangs...like "Top 36,24,008.. or whatever "...I know you boys are "wanna-be-gangsters"..but,that's definitely not something to be proud of..and Its' not "cool" like what you think it is.

Alright...,this are all I could think of at the moment..bad times comes to us when we least expect it.So,all we can do is to "sediakan payung sebelum hujan". =)

The best assurance we can give to our parents is to make the right use of FREEDOM..You see, freedom always has its limitations. Im not here to tell a grandma story but seriously,we have no right to behave as we please,only the freedom to behave as we should.

Why im telling this because,among we,so-called teenagers,there is this universal dispute over what time we should get home...
No matter you're a boy,or a girl.

I think we should put ourselves in our parents shoes to suffer the fears when kids do not return at the appropriate time.
Parents fantasies include: bad company,beer,drunken driving,horrific car crash,robbed in the park,kidnapped and the worst,trying drugs. So,in case you know you'll be late,a call to inform your parents will do you no waste.

Well,I don't really vision myself to be the best advisor of all...its just a piece of my mind.Who knows if it would be useful to any of you right.....just in case you are not interested, Lantak la ko! lol=p
LIKE I CARE. =)

So,lets put our part in an effort to fight against CRIMES.

Say NO to ROBBERY!!!!
