Expats 'beaten up' on Malaysian island

Victims claim attackers were bodyguards of VIP; resorts deny incident


By Tham Yuen-C

Four men went to an idyllic weekend getaway hoping for a spot of sun and sea. But within hours of arriving on the Malaysian island, two of them ended up being brutally assaulted.
The men, all expatriates based in Singapore, claimed that their assailants were the bodyguards of a Malaysian royal family member at the Alang's Rawa resort on Rawa island.

'They grabbed my arm, surrounded me, and kicked me in my genitalia to disable me first, then the onslaught just happened,' said one of the holidaymakers, a 28-year-old British man who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The attack on the resort island off the south-east coast of Malaysia left him covered with injuries and his German friend in hospital.

Maybe 10 years ago they won't just be beaten up, but possibly killed. These Malaysian royalty especially Johore royalty are notorious.

They were beaten for no reason?

Glad to see those ang mo kow/gwailo/farang/gaijin/mat salleh get roughed up.

As a general rule, bodyguards won't fuck with you unless you have first provoked them.

By portraying those expats as innocent victims, the presstitutes of Braddell Brothel are not being forthright with the whole truth.

Got this from a Malaysian forum....

"KUALA LUMPUR, May 9 — Four Singapore-based expatriates have alleged that they were attacked by bodyguards of a Malaysian royal family while on holiday at a Johor island.

Singapore’s The Straits Times reported today that the men were “brutally assaulted” within hours of arriving at Alang’s Rawa resort on Pulau Rawa, the second attack in seven years on the island with alleged links to Malaysian royalty.

According to the daily, the attack at the resort island off Mersing left a 28-year-old British man covered with injuries and his German friend in intensive care with bleeding in his brain.

“They grabbed my arm, surrounded me, and kicked me in my genitalia to disable me first, then the onslaught just happened,” the man, who spoke on condition of anonymity, was quoted as saying by The Straits Times.

The holidaymaker said he and his three friends, all in their 20s, were having dinner on Friday night when the Malaysian VIP arrived with “a lot of security” and “they started playing hip-hop music.”

According to the newspaper, the two victims were invited over for drinks including shots of tequila with the VIP, also in his 20s, and his cousin.

“He was friendly all along and showed no hostility at all. My friend was in mid-conversation with the VIP and his cousin when this aggressive-looking guy just slapped him out of nowhere.

“I don’t know what the nature of the conversation was, I was at the other end of the table, but there was something that was said that wasn’t ‘correct’,” he said.

According to the Brit, the German was followed to the bathroom by the bodyguards.

“I went to see what was going on, but got pushed out of the bathroom. I don’t know what happened in there, but he ran out like a bullet... through the bar and out onto the beach then into the forested area, and they chased him down,” he said.

He added that the remaining men then turned on him before he dashed into the sea, swimming back to shore only after the attackers had left.

He said he then returned to his room and alerted his other friends, but the attackers had caught up with the German man on another part of the island.

According to the newspaper, the group were asked to leave the island the next morning but not before they had settled their bills for the drinks and lodging.

“We were warned by a European lady working there that it was no longer safe. A boat was arranged for us in 10 minutes and we just left,” the Brit said.

The Straits Times also reported that although Alang’s Rawa confirmed that the victim and his friends were guests there, operations manager Fairus Ahmad denied the account, as did the manager of Rawa Safaris, the only other resort on the island.

“We have checked with all staff and management and they have confirmed that they do not know of any incident either,” Fairus was quoted as saying.

The newspaper reported that back in Singapore, the German man was placed in intensive care with bleeding in his brain and was moved to a normal ward yesterday.

In 2005, a group of six men, allegedly including a Johor prince, gate-crashed a Brazilian couple’s wedding at Pulau Rawa and attacked wedding guests with golf clubs and sharp objects.

Police detained four men, including a member of the Johor royal family in his 20s, but freed all of them on bail a few days later.


Not the first time ....

just great isn't it ? now we have johorians assaulting Singaporeans, Germans, Brits , brazilians and other tourists.. malaysia truly asiaaaaa

Johore is the safest place in the world.

even the royals are criminals."

my consistent advice here is not to go to terrorist state and support them by giving them money to buy weapons to attack us. Do not holiday in terrorist state. Go to thailand if you want beach and sun.

 

[Jah_rastafar_I]

From the looks of things they just wanted to fuck with them. The gate crashing of the brazilian couple's wedding is also another example. It's just them saying to them this is my territory and i feel like doing whatever the fuck i please including seriously hurting you just for the fun of it and there's nothing much you can do. Period.

“I don’t know what the nature of the conversation was, I was at the other end of the table, but there was something that was said that wasn’t ‘correct’,” he said.

So angmo admitted they deserved getting slapped.

Case closed.

 

[looneytan]

Go to thailand if you want beach and sun.

I thot you always say Thailand fucks

 

[looneytan]

So angmo admitted they deserved getting slapped.

May be he said Puki Ma without realizing the true meaning

 

[wikiphile]

four ang mohs who worked in Singapore got slapped and kicked around. As if we are going to offend the Johore Royal family for this

 

[syed putra]

Thailand has more tourist murdered than you can count.

These tourist are lucky they weren't sodomised and their girlfriend weren't raped. One of them probably insulted the royalty after he invited them over for drinks. Insulting the host is bad. Especially when the drinks are free.

 

[Unrepented]

Given the runaway indiscrimate FT policy in sgp, very high probability these four angmos are trash.

LOL. The Lees and pappies kiss the ass of the Johor Royal Family.

If those ang mohs think the PAP govt is going to 'seek justice' for them, they're going to be sorely disappointed.
