Please take a few minutes to read this and please pass it on to every female you know and care about... On Saturday, 16th, at 6:45pm my sister boarded a taxi at the Wangsa Maju LRT to return home. At the end of the road, the taxi driver stopped to pick up another male passenger who seemed to be going off the same direction. Well, my sister didn't suspect anything funny as they looked genuine, and he was going her direction and she was in a hurry... Little did she suspect that she was in for a huge trauma! But when she asked the taxi driver to turn into the junction where she lives, the driver pretended to miss it and the male passenger said that since they were already nearer to his place, why not send him off first and the driver politely asked my sister if that's ok and she thought she was doing a good deed!
As soon as they got to the end of the housing area next to the big walls of the Academy TV3, the male passenger, locked all the doors and leapt to the back and held a knife at her throat and forced her to bend her head down - she had to give up her jewelry, and the $200 cash she had. Not satisfied with only that much, they threatened for more so they drove off to Maybank Jln Setapak and took out everything she had that was around 7:30pm .....The driver returned the card after clearing the account! Then they drove off to the back area of Tasik Titiwangsa and dropped her off there. Left her with only $10 and ask her to take another taxi home! My sister had to walk a long way back to the main road to get help and she is really traumatized by all these. Later at the police station we found out that she was victim #3 that same day! Let's remind everyone we know, as it could easily happen to us too or to anyone we care about.
The lesson to be learnt here:
1. Always check the plate # BEFORE you board a taxi.
2. Always check the other things that a taxi should have - the driver's ID, the inside number etc, etc.
3. NEVER allow the driver to pick up another passenger - No matter what! If they do, get off and just pay the man.
4. Avoid taking the taxi alone, if you can.
5. Be extra careful if it is after office hours and during late nights.
6. Always type the Vehicle number plate number and sms to someone trustworthy immediately when you feel uneasy and uncomfortable.
7. Most important, if you feel anything suspicious is going to happen, deter your assailants by showing your sent sms, and warn them that that if you do not arrive safely, the police will be alerted immediately.
P/S : Your sms should at least include the :
1. vehicle registration number,
2. last known place at time of sms,
3. next intended place of the assailants (if you know),
4. no of assailants and
5. estimated time of arrival at the place of the person receiving the sms.
Note : Remember, it is your personal safety which is of utmost importance here, give your assailants the money if they insist on it.
