Someone found my mom's wallet lying around in Damansara, and as it goes, one good turn leads to another, and the wallet is back with my mom now! Her driving license and cards are intact, but her IC is gone. Damn that thief, he probably took the IC to sell or something. GRR!
This sort of things make me wonder whether I made a right decision to come back to Malaysia.
It's only reasonable that I blog about roses and chocolates and love in the air.
But I am so so so disturbed and depressed now.
My mom got mugged RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR HOUSE this evening.
RIGHT OUTSIDE MY HOUSE.
The automatic gate was jammed, and my mom got out of the car to jiggle it a bit, and was yelling at my brother (from inside the house) to come help, when my mom heard the words "Ini-lah, ini-lah!".
Before she knew it, she was pushed onto the ground, and of course, instinct shot back, and she started tugging at her bag which the snatch thief was yanking at. However, at the corner of her eye, she saw him reaching into his jacket, and in fear that it could be a weapon of some sort, my mom released the bag.
And the snatch thief escaped scot free.
My mom's designer bag and wallet, her mobile phone, her cards and identification documents, all gone in a split second.
And judging from what my mom said, most likely, the snatch thieves were just going around the neighbourhood, looking for vulnerable victims. And the evening period is chosen because that's when most people return from work. The whole family is really worried that the thieves will return for more easy loot. The most worrying this is that it happened right outside my house. For the first time, I feel so insecure and unsafe under my own roof. I hate that I can't even feel safe in my own home. I worry about stepping outside of the gates, because I don't know what is awaiting me. I am afraid of the short journey between my car to my house gate.
The snatch thief not only stole my mom's belongings.
He robbed the sense of security and belonging that we have towards our home.
Never have I felt so strongly about this.

m'sia is definitely not safe at all.
i had this conversation with my sis and it goes like this..
" can i go home late? walk home u know.. ? "
my sis said, " yes of course. it's safe in melbourne. unlike m'sia u might get raped! "
the thought of being back in malaysia, holding a bag ( swinging it ), walking along the streets is enough disturbing.
make sure you change ur locks and your car lock too! cos the buggers also took the keys right?
yan ping: Haha, yaa, she's damn traumatized, she uses plastic bags now as her handbag, HAHAHA! Thanks for your concern, dear! <3
liing: I KNOW... In melbourne, I actually feel SAFE... But in KL, there are just so many things that I have to watch out.. It's like I can't trust anything and anyone... And I can't take safety and security for granted. :(
anonymous: Oh my god, you got my fear! But THANK GOD, my mom's keys were not in the bag when it was stolen! :) :) :)Thank you for your words of caution. :)
