Wangsa Maju Stabbing

If you do read some of newspaper, you sure will come across with this news. A 26 years old promoter was stabbed to death in Wangsa Maju. The crime scene happened behind lister old flat and it happened after 1 weeks lister move to his new place at Prima Setapak Condo. 

That is the flat that lister used to stay, and he stays at 3rd floor.  His balcony facing directly to the car park. Lister told me that he walk passing this car park almost everyday to go across to the bus station. GOSH! That is so scary.  Well, i never been here at night but lister said that this place is dark cuz all the street light are not working. 

""Ng, from Ipoh, was believed to be walking towards a restaurant when he was approached by two men on a motorcycle.

The killers were believed to have then pointed a knife at him and demanded his wallet and mobile phone.

Ng tried to escape and they attacked him, stabbing him on the left side of his body. They rode off, as Ng fell down, bleeding.

It was learnt that Ng staggered to the restaurant, where a shocked patron contacted the police and called for an ambulance.

“He just stood there holding his abdomen, and was on the phone with someone,” said a restaurant worker who only wanted to be known as Ajai. “He did not shout or ask for help. He just stood at the corner of this restaurant and then sat down.”

Ng was taken to the emergency unit of Kuala Lumpur Hospital where he died about 12.30am yesterday""

I copied this news article from http://www.mmail.com.my/Wangsa_Maju_stabbing.aspx

The confused part is that he didnt call for help when he got stabbed. I dont really know the real reason. The other confused part is that just a few meters away there is the mamak store that open until really late night, i just couldn't believe that no one saw it happened. The incident happened at 9.30pm and it just still early. Lister's ex roommate said that maybe the reason nobody willing to help when they saw the victim struggle with culprits is that they dont want to be busy body and they thought it could be a gang fight so they will like to stay away from it. What happened to people nowadays, you dont need to fight with them, just shouts really loud and call the police and ambulance really helps a lot! 

Lister's ex roommates also said that Ng actually wearing a sling bag, and in order to take the sling bag off his shoulder, the culprit stab right into his kidney. The cause of death probally be excessive bleeding. 

For this reason i want to share some tips on how you can safe yourself when you come across with such situation. 

If threatened by an attacker with a knife you must consider whether or not to fight( if you are unarmed, it is wise to choose not to fight ). 

If escape is just a little distance away you may want to throw leaves, dirt or rocks into the attacker's face and kick his knee or groin (scary but might work). You might want to wrap your jacket around your arm and try to use that to temporarily fend him off as you yell for help "Help! Call the Police". It may also be best may be to throw or toss your wallet or purse or bag to the attacker's knife hand as you run away. They are more interested with the money than you. After that run as fast you could to crowded places and call for help. Do not try to fight with them, the faster they get your money, the less they will trying to hurt you. Remember nothing is more important than your own safety. 

I hope you learn something from this. Please remember safety always come first, and always be cautions no matter where you are when especially you are alone.
