Beware Good Samaritans, victims could be robbers

13 July 2015
Police have advised the public to be careful when lending a hand to riders who appear to have fallen off their motorcycles because they could be robbers. 

According to Ampang Jaya district police station, two people were recently robbed after they stopped their car to help two suspects in Taman Chempaka. The suspects had purposely fallen off their motorcycle in front of the victims’ car. As expected, the 67-year-old male victim alighted from his car and found himself being threatened with a knife by one of the suspects. The other suspect then went to open his car door and grabbed the handbag of the other victim still sitting in the car. Both victims suffered about RM1,000 in losses, which included cash and a few items.

Play part to combat rise of dengue, health experts tell public

PETALING JAYA: A continuous hot and warm season would give rise to dengue cases as it is the perfect condition for mosquito-breeding, warn health experts.

Dr Muhamad Hazizi Muhamad Hasani, who is the Malaysian Integrated Medical Professionals Association (Mimpa) operations director, said there were several factors that contributed to the rise of dengue.

He said a prolonged hot season, coupled with a few rainy days, allowed more mosquitoes to breed at stagnant water areas.

“With such conditions, they can breed and become more active. They can even fly twice further,” he said yesterday.

He said cooperation from the public was ­needed to combat the rise of dengue as the authorities embarked on several efforts to contain its spread.  Read more .....
