PETALING JAYA: A 52-year-old woman was robbed and stabbed to death by two robbers while she was jogging with her daughter at the Bukit Gasing trail on Saturday.

The deceased, Ong Ai Sam, was with her daugther when they were approached by two men armed with knives wearing full-face helmets at about 4.30pm.

The suspects demanded the victim hand over her belongings but Ong shouted to her 17-year-old daughter, telling her to run to safety.

She selflessly blocked the two suspects while her daughter tried to get help from other pedestrians in the area.

Sources revealed the suspects stabbed the victim before escaping with her belongings.

Ong's daughter returned to the scene with another woman and found the victim lying in pool of blood.

She was rushed to the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre, but succumbed to her injuries on the way there 20 minutes later.

Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohamad said police are collecting CCTV footage from nearby houses.

"We believe the motive was murder. We hope to identify the suspects soon with the assistance of the victim's daughter and anyone who might have seen the incident," he said.

Robbers make ‘withdrawal’ at bank

 June 28, 2013 MYT 8:43:13 AM

JOHOR BARU: Daring robbers made off with an automated teller machine from a bank in Taman Desa Cemerlang here by dragging the machine out with a four-wheel drive.

The incident occurred between midnight and 1am yesterday and it is believed that the robbers had been planning the heist for days.

“Some staff members noticed that a car was parked outside the bank for a few days prior to the incident.

“It is likely that the robbers had been staking out the bank for several days to determine the best time to steal the machine,” said a source.

A bank staff, who declined to be named, said the robbers had allegedly driven the 4WD vehicle right to the bank entrance and dragged the machine by fastening it with a chain tied to the vehicle.

“We have two ATMs and three other machines for cheque deposits and cash deposits,” he said, adding that the thieves had aimed the ATM believed to contain more money.

The bank, however, has yet to determine how much money was in the ATM when it was carted away.

Checks by The Star showed that there were drag marks outside the bank and some of the tiles outside the building were cracked.

Policemen were also seen questioning the staff but the bank remained opened.

Seri Alam OCPD Supt Roslan Zainuddin confirmed the case and said that police had yet to make any arrests.

“The case has been classified under Section 457 of the Penal Code for burglary,” he said.

It is believed that police are also investigating if the incident is linked to a robbery attempt at a bank in Taman Daya here at around 4am on Wednesday.

During the incident, a group of thieves had tried to drag out an ATM using a vehicle but abandoned their plans when the alarm went off.

Some of the pictures of the attempted theft had also been uploaded on Facebook.

Those with information on any of the cases are urged to contact the Johor police hotline at 07-2212 999 or visit the nearest police station.

Robbers stole RM217,950 from ATM machine

KOTA BARU: Robbers fled with RM217,950 prised from a bank's automated teller machine (ATM) located at a Tabung Haji Building at Jalan Masjid Lama here today.

Deputy State Police Chief Datuk Mazlan Lazim said the robbery was discovered about 8.30am by members of the public who wanted to use the ATM service.

 

He said the robbery went unnoticed because robbers had covered the glass wall of the building with a banner.

 

Initial police investigation found that the robbers had used an oxy-acetylene torch to cut open the machine, he said when contacted.

 

Mazlan said police had recovered finger prints at the scene and would also view recordings of the closed-circuit television cameras (CCTVs) in the area to identify the culprits.

 

He also urged those with information on the incident to contact the police. -- BERNAMA

Khairy concedes Malaysia’s crime situation is “serious”

JULY 02, 2013

The worsening crime situation in Malaysia is not mere perception as claimed by some quarters and Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin joined the ranks of believers after being a burglary victim over the weekend.

He conceded in a Facebook post that the burglary was something real and not at all perception, as claimed by some quarters, such as the police and the Home Ministry.

Previous Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and senior police officers have attributed negative sentiments on crime to the people's perception.

"The burglary is a reminder to all of us that crime is a serious problem in Malaysia and I hope that everyone, including victims, remain steadfast," Khairy wrote on his Facebook page, advising the public to be vigilant of their own safety and that of their families.

Kuala Lumpur police had confirmed over the weekend that a minister's home in Damansara Heights had been ransacked by thieves but declined to reveal his identity. It was later learnt that the bungalow belongs to Khairy's mother and that Khairy and his wife were residing there. Only the maid was home at the time of the robbery, which was revealed by Kuala Lumpur CID chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah to be around 5.30pm.

The burglary was the latest of several cases involving the residences of prominent figures.
