Taxi Driver Killer - Are We To Continue Such Nonsense?

First we are all frightened by the infamous bus crash cases being driven by those who do not have the proper license or have been suspended from driving for having numerous summonses!

Now we all have to start worrying about taxi drivers as well! They rob, rape, and even kill!

Driver of bogus taxi admits to stabbing and robbing woman

By Steven Daniel 

KUALA LUMPUR: An unlikely chain of events led to the arrest of a suspect who was believed to have stabbed a woman four times and left her to bleed to death.

The victim, Lee Hui Fun, was found unconscious in Jalan Maktab, Kajang, on Friday morning by policemen on patrol duty.

Coincidentally, a man driving a taxi, was involved in an accident with a motorcycle at 4pm along Jalan Ipoh.

The motorcyclist, who confronted the driver of the taxi, saw a bloodstained handbag on the rear passenger seat. The suspect then panicked and made a run for the Perkim Building car park.

However, he was caught and beaten up by several passers-by. It was then that the suspect, in his 30s, shouted “saya bunuh satu orang sahaja (I only killed one person)”.

The suspect apparently believed he had killed Lee, not knowing that she was fighting for her life in hospital.

The suspect was handed over to the police and during interrogation, admitted to have committed the offence in Batu 9/11, Kajang, hours earlier. He was later taken to the Kajang police station for further investigations.

Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Shakaruddin Che Mood yesterday confirmed that the suspect had been arrested. He said police were still investigating if there was a second suspect involved.

A source said there was a possibility that Lee was driven to a location where another person was waiting, before she was robbed. It was also believed that Lee put up a struggle before she was stabbed and left for dead.

The 33-year-old clerk from Taman Kencana, Pandan Indah, had boarded a taxi on Friday morning to go to a monorail station on Jalan Sultan Ismail. However, the taxi took another route, prompting Lee to call her husband Chow Chee Ming, 34, at 8.40am.

Chow, when met at the University Kebangsaan Malaysia Hospital yesterday, said she called a few times as he could not hear her clearly the first few times.

“I managed to hear her clearly during her last call at 8.50am, saying the taxi driver was taking her somewhere else.

“She also gave me the number plate of the taxi she was in,” Chow said.

“Then, I heard her shouting in Chinese ‘he’s got a knife, he’s got a knife’, before the line got cut off.”

Lee, who has two children, is reported to be in stable condition.

The taxi’s number plate was shown to be false when checked against the Road Transport Department’s online system.

Are we Malaysians to expect such nonsense to continue? Where is the ‘Malaysia Boleh’ and embracing the new 2020 when the people are still backsliding towards barbaric era! This is pure nonsense! Next thing we can see are men running around with clubs hitting people and hunting on animals to feast!

Malaysia is not moving towards a better future. We are seeing more and more people committing crimes as they get desperate due to many reasons.

Firstly, the education standards are way lower than what is given in the advanced country. When I watched the famous programme “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader” I was even stunned to see how a simple 5th Grader knows so much! It was then I realise that the things that I learnt are too basic and not too useful in helping Malaysia develop!

Secondly, the gap between the rich and poor are widening more and more! This is a huge problem as the rich are getting richer while the poor and getting poorer. Next we will expect a huge social status problem! Looking at Australia, the gaps between the rich and poor cannot be seen at all! A friend’s cousin who works only as a cleaner for offices can afford a beautiful Honda Accord! The government on Australia takes good care of their people!

Racial is also another issue. Though this is a multi-racial country, we can still see many are uncomfortable with other races. They will continue to stay with their own kind. Even when I dated an Indian guy (I am Chinese), my mother totally disapprove of such problems and only expect me to be with my own race, Chinese. So can we expect a better multiracial country here? Maybe… at my generation I have seen many of my friends who prefer to date a person of another race. It is only the older generations that are trying to stop us. So don’t try. A way of expecting a country to develop is to have everyone to stay with each other as united!

Well these are the main reasons. I’m done talking about this country.

Protesters Against Pig-Rearing Centre

I read an article in the newspaper today and kind of got me really irritated.

Protesters angry over Selangor’s

plan for pig-rearing centre in

Ladang Tumbuk

BANTING: Two groups of protesters caused a commotion in front of the Kuala Langat district council office here yesterday over the Selangor Government’s plan to set up a centralised pig-farming project in Ladang Tumbuk near the district’s border with Sepang.

Some 100 people gathered there at 3.15pm and started arguing, but the police and the council’s enforcement officers managed to calm down the two groups, who were from Umno and Pakatan Rakyat.

Kuala Langat district police chief Supt Muhammad Radzi Ishak said the protesters dispersed half an hour later without any untoward incident and no one was arrested.

The largest group of protesters, numbering about 90, was led by Sepang Umno division information chief Nisman Yusof, who held prayers, hoping the state government would change its mind and stop the project.

Wearing green and orange T-shirts, the protesters also showed their annoyance by putting up banners proclaiming that the people of Sepang were against pig-breeding centre in their area.

The banners also showed caricatures of the coalition partners of the Pakatan Rakyat Selangor government.

The other group of about 10 supporters of Pakatan Rakyat was for the project and put up a banner featuring Barisan’s Tanjung Sepat assemblyman Datuk Dr Karim Mansor showing a thumbs-up sign at a pig farm in Germany with the words Saya sokong (I agree).

A banner hitting out at DAP, PKR and PAS for supporting the project.

The Umno supporters tried to tear down the banners. Dr Karim opposes the project.

Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim recently announced that the controversial RM100mil integrated pig-rearing project, which he said was approved by the former Barisan state government led by Datuk Seri Dr Khir Toyo, would proceed.

What the heck is wrong with the pig-rearing project? Seriously? Are pigs really a nuisance to the Malays?

See this is the reason why most students ended up studying overseas and getting a PR there. and never coming back to Malaysia. And I will be one of them very soon too! Australia here I come!!
