Woman And Crime

i know i know, crime involves women and crime are more frightening each day. there's a day i dont want to read newspaper because i dont want the crime news of 16th years old girl was raped, snatch thief caused to death, raped + kill + burn cases spoil my mood, i just cant bear the grief.

however, thanks to Allah because we have a very good PDRM to help us fighting the crime. while there are some bad policemen in town, believe me i have met lots of good and noble policemen who really committed with their job to ensure civilian's safety.

tapi, walau camana cekap pun polis kita, diorang still tak mampu nak jaga everyone of us. mereka hanya polis, bukan power rangers atau suria baja hitam. yang bagusnya since Dato' Najib become a Prime Minister, Malaysia pun dah praktik Blue Ocean Strategy whereby PDRM bekerjasama dengan ATM, RELA and JPAM to fight against crime. more police are on the street observing us in Omnipresence strategy. i think this is a great idea and as a prove, more than 20% crime index in Malaysia has been decreased last year!

:) okaylah, actually i bukan laa nak cakap pasal abang-abang polis atau pakcik RELA. i nak kongsikan dengan uols semua pasal macamana kita nak elakkan diri kita jadi sasaran penjenayah jahat?or, the worst part is apa kita nak buat kalau kita tetiba kena ragut / approach oleh penjenayah?


benda nie penting tau uols sebab as a career woman, i jumpa ramaai girls yang sama macam i. maksudnya, nature of work kita kadang-kadang buatkan kita jadi lone ranger and independent. long distance drive sensorang, kadang-kadang kena pegi sana sini last minute, tetiba kena outstation baju banyak belum laundry so terpaksa shopping adhoc sorang-sorang, things like that. maybe selama ni kita baca news pasal orang lain je, tapi kita kena ingat yang KITA pun mungkin akan hadapi benda yang sama kalau kita tak bersedia dan hati-hati. 




1. BE AN OBSERVANT ALL THE TIME
bila uols berjalan pegi car park atau lorong ke kann, janganlaa uols menonong je jalan tengok depan. somehow bila kita tengah nak cepat or terlalu takut, we tend to do that. JANGAN ok. jalan dengan steady, tengok kiri dan kanan dan kalau uols perasan someone atau something yang suspicious, here comes the second tips.


2. THINK FAST. 
kalau ada security officer kat situ, minta dia temankan u pegi kat kereta. that is part of their job, tak payah malu. call your parents or friend nearest to the area and let them know where you are and how u feel. 


3. CARRY YOUR HANDBAG SAFELY.
carry your handbag / clutch innerside and walk against traffic so that you can see people who are coming towards you. if possible, put your mobile phone, IC and credit card with you and not in that bag. a handbag with a release clasp is better to avoid carried along if you got snatched.

4. IN A CAR PARK
please have your car key and alarm in your hand while walking to your car. jangan bila da sampai depan kereta baru you nak selongkar handbag, bahaya ok! and yes, before entering the car please do a fast check the whole car (tengok backseat, tyres). ada banyak kes penjenayah standby duduk kat seat belakang n lepas kita masuk kereta, dia serang dari belakang. ada jugak kes they put something kat tayar . just be careful ok girls!

and i recommend you girls to have a pepper spray with you all the time. while walking in a car park, keep the pepper spray and car remote in one hand, and handbag in the other hand. if you need to use the pepper spray, then drop your car remote.

5. ENTERING THE CAR
 enter the car, lock the car and put your head down for five seconds, pretending you do something. to 'them', it is as if you are securing your handbag to your car.

6. TRAVELLING ALONE
if you need to drive or travelling alone, especially on night, inform of the family the route you're taking and duration of the journey. create a SMS / BBM / Whatsapp / missed call code between you and them to be used if there's an emergency so that they can call police. maybe satu miskol maknanya "i think i'm in dangerous. please call police", tapi jangan memain pulaak!

7. SO-CALLED POLICE
if you feel suspicious of the policeman who stopped you on the road, avoid communication and ask them to go to the nearest police station.

8. THE WEAPON
if you're confronted by a knife during a robbery, throw your handbag far enough and when the criminal reaches to the bag, RUN AWAY. ini memang scary tahap drama hantu Waris, but we have to try. believe in yourself and recite lots of doas.

9. SCREAM
in the midst of being robbed / running for help, scream your throat out for help and grab the person closest to you. people are afraid and not sure if they have to make the first move.

it's like "alamak alamak budak ni jerit-jerit mintak tolong,nak kena buat apa ekk?"
so when you grab her / his hand and asking for help, they will automatically aware that they have to help you.

10. CUBIT
ahaaa..selalu weols memang terer bab-bab cubit ni kann. dulu i memang selalu cubit Mr. A bila i sakit hati. sampai lebam and berdarah jugak kekadang tu. sobbss jahat kan i. tapi dululaa, sekarang i tumbuk je ehh ahahaha. okay, so when you're struggling with the criminal, target the underarms, squeeze and pinch the area. the criminal definitely will feel the pain and release the choke hold. OMG i da bole rasa kegeraman mencubit dan kesakitannya ituu!

itu jelah yang i dapat share dengan uols. banyak lagi i rasa tips untuk elakkan dari jenayah nie. but i think this is important. i dapat semua ni pun from my own observation and reading PDRM's source. we should read crime news taw, so weols bole tauhu apekah modus operandi jenayah yang terbaru. haaa keluar terus istilah gerak khas.

last but not least girls, let us be extra careful all the time ok!

till then! :)
