JB crazy gunmen Kidnapped S'porean family

| Posted: 01 July 2012 1912 hrs



SINGAPORE: A Singaporean family is now safely back home after a harrowing experience early Sunday morning in Johor Bahru.

It was past midnight when 37-year-old Rita Zahara was driving back to Singapore from Johor Bahru.

She was accompanied by her sister, two children and her maid.

A few kilometres from the Immigration Checkpoint at Woodlands, she stopped at a petrol station to top up her tank.

She then decided to buy fruits, and left the four other passengers in her locked car.

That's when two men armed with guns and knives demanded they open the door.

Rita's sister, Ms Rita Zuhaida, said: "My first reaction was, 'Okay, I can drive off'. But then I saw the gun... I didn't think it was worth it. I followed whatever they wanted."

Once the kidnappers gained access to the car, they sped off.

Seeing her car missing, Rita called her sister but the phone call was answered by one of the kidnappers.

"He said, 'I've got your children, I've got your sister. I've got your maid. We want money. If you inform the police, we will kill all of them.'," said Rita.

The next four hours saw Rita in intense negotiations with the kidnappers to get her family back.

At the same time, she was also in contact with Malaysian and Singapore authorities.

During this time, the kidnappers had taken all the belongings of the hostages and were driving around.

But their nightmare came to an end when the kidnappers decided to release the family by the roadside.

They drove off with the car and all the valuables inside.

With help from villagers, they were brought back to the police station, where Rita was reunited with them.

Malaysia is very safe. Singapore is very dangerous.
Malaysia boleh. Singapore tak boleh.
Those ladies and children will never dare to step on Malaysia soil ever again - because it's too safe for comfortable.

JB gang I think after asking few question know that Malay family no money. Just let them go. No point taking hostage.

Boss, Monaco is even safer than Singapore. Their homicide rate is 0. No other sovereign state in the world can claim to be devoid of homicides. Monaco also has the highest GDP per capita in the world. Surely this must be proof that the Monegasque government is more deserving of the highest ministerial salaries in the world than the PAP?

JB police form special team to investigate kidnapping case

SINGAPORE: Malaysian Mstar.com.my has reported that Johor Bahru (JB) police have formed a special team to look into the kidnapping of a Singaporean family on Sunday.

The head of Investigations of the Johor Police Department, Amer Awal, was quoted as saying that authorities are working on several leads.

An armed men kidnapped 37-year-old Singaporean Rita Zahara's younger sister, two children and maid, when they stopped at a petrol station in the early hours of the morning on Sunday.

They took off in her car and demanded ransom for the release of Ms Zahara's family.

The family was released unharmed, after several hours.

Ms Zahara's car, a white Nissan Sunny, is still missing.

Channel NewsAsia spoke to a regular traveller to Johor Bahru who said such crimes won't deter his travel plans but has this piece of advice.

Alan Tang, who travels to JB three to four times a week for work, said: "I think the key thing to note is to be vigilant. Avoid quiet and isolated areas. The thing that lots of people tend to overlook is the maintenance of your car. Make sure you have a car that is well serviced to avoid having unnecessary breakdowns when you are in a foreign country. Most people like to pump petrol when in Malaysia, so choose petrol stations which are fairly crowded."
