Re: Update - Press conference 10am 22.6.2014
Yes. We can really understand how JB people has been living with this fear for so many years and their desire to upgrade to a good G&G taman. Not totally crime free but at least more peace in mind.
Several years ago, I remembered once when we were planning to rent out one of our houses in HH, one lazy weekday afternoon the agent brought in a BMW 5 series W-plated prospect with windows all tinted.
I was waiting to greet the visitors as usual when out of the BMW 5 series came 3 burly and muscular Indian chaps. With due respect to my Indian friends, these 3 looked like they are part- timers from WWE. Even at 1.83cm and about 80kg I pale in comparison with all three of them.
They "claimed" they were looking to rent a house in HH as one of their wives worked as a "nurse" in Singapore but when I probed which hospital he anyhow hamtum one hospital name in JB. When they were viewing the house I got really scared as the agent was small size at 160cm. I was not prepared to fight but was prepared to do a 100m sprint out of my own house though.
Ended up they quickly left without saying anymore and I was damn relieved. From then on I requested that particular agent to at least talk to my guard in advance and ask one to follow all of them in in case we were mugged.
Not that I am bashing those guards, sometimes when I jog around my neighbourhood on Sundays at 5am, I saw them sleeping like a pig.
I also sold away one of our houses in Taman Laguna when I realise the break-ins are getting more rampant as its near to the sea and forest. Luckily I did all that if not now I will be sleeping in fear
