Today I'm Doing Some Community Service ...

Dearest Readers, especailly of the Fair Sex:

Today I'm inclined to performing some community service -- hence I am paasing on this Community Service Message (verbatim) from mGf ANDREW VONG (yes, spelt with a V for VICTORY!)from SubangJaya:

Dear Ladies,
Be extra careful..................


LET THIS TRUE STORY SERVE AS A WARNING

To the men : warn your loved ones!
To the women : remember this!

"About a month ago there was a woman standing by the Mega Mall
entrance passing out flyers to all the women going in. The woman
had written the flyer herself to tell about an experience she had,
so that she might warn other women.

The previous day, this woman had finished shopping, went out to her
car and discovered that she had a flat. She got the jack out of the
trunk and began to change the flat. A nice man dressed in business
suit and carrying a briefcase walked up to her and said,

"I notice you're changing a flat tire.

Would you like me to take care of it for you?"

The woman was grateful for his offer and accepted his help. They
chatted amiably while the man changed the flat, and then put the
flat tire and the jack in the trunk, shut it and dusted his hands
off. The woman thanked him profusely, and as she was about to get
in her car, the man told her that he left his car around on the
other side of the mall, and asked if she would mind giving him a
lift to his car. She was a little surprised and asked him why his
car was on other side. He explained that he had seen an old friend
in the mall that he hadn't seen for some time and they had a bite
to eat and visited for a while; he got turned around in the mall
and left through the wrong exit, and now he was running late and
his car was clear around on the other side of the mall.

The woman hated to tell him "no" because he had just rescued her
from having to change her flat tire all by herself, but she felt
uneasy. Then she remembered seeing the man put his
briefcase in her trunk before shutting it and before he asked her
for a ride to his car.

She told him that she'd be happy to drive him to his car, but she
just remembered one last thing she needed to buy. She said she
would only be few minutes; he could sit down in her car and wait
for her; she would be as quick as she could be. She hurried into
the mall, and told a security guard what had happened; the guard
came out to her car with her, but the man had left.

They opened the trunk, took out his locked briefcase and took it
down to the police station. The police opened it (ostensibly to
look for ID so they could return it to the man). What they found
was rope, duct tape and knives.

When the police checked her "flat" tire, there was nothing
wrong with it; the air had simply been let out. It was obvious what
the man's motive was, and obvious that he had carefully thought it
out in advance.

The woman was blessed to have escaped harm. How much worse it would
have been had she waited in the car while the man fixed the tire,
or if she had a baby strapped into a car seat. Or if she'd gone
against her judgment and given him a lift. I'd like you to forward
this to all the women you know.

It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another
candle. I was going to send this to the ladies only; but guys, if
you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may
want to pass it on to them, as well.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that
the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it....better than sorry.

PLEASE BE SAFE AND NOT SORRY!


JUST A WARNING TO ALWAYS BE ALERT AND USE YOUR HEAD!!!

Pass this long to every woman you have access to. Never let your guard down.

SOMETIMES, THAT FEELING IN YOUR GUT IS THE VOICE OF GOD. TRUST YOUR
INSTINCTS!!

DESIDERATA: mGf Andrew is a YoungConcernedCitizen, and Desi hopes there will be more like him in our midst. Youthful Malaysia holds the hopes of the nation in their Young Hands to progress this potentially Great Nation towards 2020. As National Day approaches, this message also calls on the NotSoYoungOnes, especailly THE POLITICIANS, to remember that they have to WALK THE TALK as an EXAMPLE TO THE YOUNGONES. One salute to thee, Andrew:)

Hi Desi,

Yeah. I salute Andrew too.

We all have to be careful nowadays because the crime rates are getting higher day by day and it's getting overboard as well.

Sheesh...

Hey...saw this case happening before in one of the 'Kisah Benar' series. I think the story is pretty much known well already but still worth the spreading; but not to the extent of phising/spamming. And btw, how would a tyre 'mou tuin tuin' (without any logic reason) go flat? People just have to always think twice.

Glad the lady went with her instincts as for me if my car ever gets a flat ect i wouldn't accept and guys help i mean strangers help .That is the benefit of using the NRMA :)
cheerz tcz

hi kyels, my fav fan here:
Aren't you in action at the MCA Hq this morn? Chua needs all your Za you, Za you! cheering. Send him my best regards if you should bum(p) into him, OK?

Crime in Malaysia has crimbed so high it's no more safe leaving your house door open even for 40 winks! My lapdog went for a walk with the grime-man (from Indonesia where the ill winds blow?)...Don't anyone say I'm being prejudiced, but when the Gomen (again borrowed from lONE) treats them as abng&adek, as a true-blooded born-and-br(l)ed Malaysian (hey, raed JeffOoi's piece yesterday cf with thet Semuanya OK MB Toyo ....), I have my reAsons ...

Hey Howsy:

Kisah Benar ke? I shot a msg to Andrew that if he was cooking up some scare with fiction, I was going to publish his HP number, and let him take the wrap. Now I get a fellow Malaysian all the way from the UK to confirm that Andrew's imaginenation did not run wild, as some of these thugs at shopping malls.

RTM has not been in touch with me though about doing up UPDATE. I can do with the dough, though. Hey, Howsy, can I make a case for Welfare if I registered my Blog at no. 11, D(R)owning Street?

Read my NEXT post for CONtext. Hope you Londoners have a nice weekend, have a CON BF on Desi. I'll bungkus the teh tarik and cold-storage it.

P: Howsy, I'm super-productive today, with 2nd post uploaded at 11.17am just only minutes before responding to thy well appreciated comment. now it's 11.25am -- soon I'd be leaving for lunch. Bloody Malaysians, makan-makan all the time...

But fear not, my Daddy dearest is over there. He's there giving tremendous support to Datuk Chua.

May Datuk Chua win the Presidency post. :)

Will ask Daddy to send him regards and a cuppa teh-tarik. Hehe.

Cheers!
