Torchlight? No! Its A Stungun

The gadget above is sold freely in Pasar Malam and maybe downtowns too.

 "Immediately upon making contact, the stun gun delivers a high-voltage (generally 85,000 volts to 625,000 volts), low-amperage electrical charge".Source: http://EzineArticles.com/655352

Another new gadget used by criminals in the community is an innocent looking torchlight. But on closer inspection it is actually not a torchlight that will help show the way in the dark but will do it the other way round. It makes you loose the light an be a victim of theft, robbers, rapers or worse case scenario murdered. 


This is an email I receive and like to share with my readers.

I just thought to let know what my doctor told me recently. I don't think she was lying and neither am I, so please pass this on to your friends. Her clinic is in SS2 and you know how congested that place is. 

One morning a few months ago in broad daylight, a girl was getting into her car when a few men approached her with what looked like a  torchlight. Quite harmless looking. They pressed the "torchlight" into her back and immediately she went limp and very pale. So she wouldn't be able to fight back, they slashed her thigh with a parang and sped away in her car. 

There were many people around and they quickly took her to the  nearest clinic which was my doctor's clinic. There were two doctors at that time and they managed to stitch up her wound but the girl remained pulse-less and still pale as paper. No pulse, no BP (blood pressure) Just like dead. 

My doctors were confused as to how one wound on the thigh made the girl almost like dead? They managed to revive her and save her life. 

After some checking around, the doctors found  out what actually happened was that the girl was made unconscious not by a torchlight but actually a high voltage weapon. I forgot how many watts she mentioned. 1000? Anyway, it was high enough to kill a person by electrocution. 

It seems this weapon is from China . It's not rampant in Malaysia ...yet; but with this thing, a person can rob, rape, kill, kidnap, and practically do anything to you. My doctor said that if the girl weren't taken to the clinic immediately she would have died because there was no pulse on her.

So please just beware of your surroundings, if anybody is lurking around with a torchlight-thingy and approaches you, just scream or run away. Better to be embarrassed than ZAPPED and fried, right? Take care.


What does stungun do to your body? Read HERE and HERE

The authority should take stern action to prohibit selling of such gadget to the public. Even though it looks like a harmful object but in actual case can be used for criminal activities. If they can take action on selling of fake guns that looks like real guns why not take action on these innocent looking "flashlight" err, is it a flashlight? 

When we walk out from the comfort of our home, we can't expect what will happen to us. So the best thing is to be aware. Share this posting with your friends because sharing is part of love too. 

New Tyres : Front Wheel or Back Wheel?

A piece of advice for those who want to change new tyres on your car. Most of us think that when we change new tyres we will put it as the front wheel with the impression that the full thread will give a better grip on the road. 


A friend sent this email with the video attachment and after watching it decide to share with my readers. Click this link :Không thay lốp (vỏ) mới vào 2 bánh trước xe


NB : This is not another virus thread


Comparisons on both car in the video, one with new tyres on the front wheel and another with the new tyres on the back wheel. Impressive enough the tests on slippery road proves that car fitted with a new tyres on the back wheel has more grip on the road compared with the front wheel. 


Just one thing that was not mention and I too am not sure........What about cars with a front wheel drive. A front wheeled drive car means the wheel is pulling the car while a rear wheeled drive, the wheel push the car. 


Any opinion from the experts?

STUPID DRIVERS WHO THINK THEY ARE SMART DUMBASS ON OUR ROADS

Maybe I because I seldom watch News broadcasted over TV. I don’t read the mainstream newspapers except those online and alternative medias. Is there Ops Sikap this festive season? Every year when there is Ops Sikap, many people like to keep track on the statistics piously just like keeping tab on the medal tally in major sporting events. Whether it will be a new record or the ‘performance’ drops. Like it or not we have to swallow those stats.

I bring out this issue because I want to voice out my disappointment plus anger plus stress driving in Malaysia. Reason: STUPID DRIVERS WHO THINK THEY ARE SMART ASS ON THE ROAD.

Who are those STUPID DRIVERS WHO THINK THEY ARE SMART ASS behaving like wild boars driving on our roads? Wild boars don’t have any rule and when they come out on the road, they don’t have any rules to observe. This is my observation.

Q BEATERS : Once I saw this car sticker sometimes ago; OVERTAKERS WILL BE TAKEN CARE BY UNDERTAKERS. These Q beaters are people who create unnecessary jams. They are just selfish dumbass who think only of themselves. They usually bypass the law, taking wrong lanes just beat the Q and sometimes create unnecessary problem for other road users.

ROAD HOGGERS: If you want to makan angin, the road and highways is not the place for you. It is already a rule of thumb that fast lanes are for those people who drives like F1 drivers. People who are rushing to find the nearest toilet to pee. People who think that his car is powered by the latest Pratt & Whitney jet engines. If you want to hog, talk over the phone Be considerate and take the hogging left lanes la u.

BUSY DRIVERS : Those busy drivers who have to rely on their mobilephone to make calls or send SMS while driving. You watch this.

or this

REMPITEERS : These are not those Mat Rempits who race out their heart in the middle of the night and think that they are invincible and will not die racing. These are two wheelers who speeds and weaving in and out  between lines of crawling cars stuck in jams.

BATTERY SAVERS : These are drivers who saves their battery by not giving signals when turning. How many times do we experience, stopping and wait for the oncoming car to clear at junctions and suddenly the driver turns into the junction without giving any signals. Don’t you think this is just plain stupid of the driver. He definitely sees you stops to give him/her way and suddenly just ‘make donno’ and turn. These people think by not giving signals can save their battery life for another decade.

1 2 PANGSAI DRIVERS : They will use the emergency lane on highways when other obedient drivers crawling in the heavy traffic. It is breaking the traffic law in broad daylight and the authority is not there to book them.

HORN TESTER :  They are fond of honking drivers in front of them, usually at traffic lights when the the right or left arrow is still red and there is no Give Way signage.

LANE IGNORANT DRIVERS : How many times you face drivers who stop on the wrong lane, usually on left or right (usually left) at traffic light, when it is green and the straight ahead light is red, just to be in front. They think the traffic light belongs to their grandfather.  

THE GRANDFATHER OWN THE ROAD DRIVERS:  All the above.

You can add in the comments if you think there are other type of drivers on our road that can be labelled.

DRIVE SAFELY. OTHER USER PAY ROAD TAX AND INSURANCE TOO.

Reminder Of Using Escalators

This is a house newsletter from Worley Parson's dated 25 February 2011. I think it is worth sharing with other readers as a community service.


A child aged around two to three years of age  got his left leg trapped between the escalator skirt and the side of the  escalator step while going down the escalator in a shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur, early last year. This accident resulted in serious injuries to his leg where some bones in his legs were broken.

Here are suggestions to ensure passenger safety while riding on an escalator:
» Make sure that shoes laces are tightly tied to avoid them getting stuck  between the escalator skirt and the side of escalator step;
» Always hold children's hands on escalators and do not allow children to sit or play on the escalator step when taking an escalator;
» Always look ahead, stand in the middle of the steps in between the yellow coloured border on the steps, and hold on to the handrail;
» Avoid standing on the side of the steps;
»Know where the emergency button shutoff is located (usually at each end of the escalator) if you need to stop the escalator;
» Do not ride on the escalator handrail;
» Do not lean on the escalator handrail.

New Highway Robbery Tactic

A friend emailed this information to me and I think its worth sharing as we can help each other to be safe and fight crime.

PLS TAKE NOTE OF THIS LATEST INFORMATION  You can't clean away smashed eggs on the windscreen with the wiper and sprayed water.Please take note of this.   If you are driving at night and are attacked with eggs, do not operate  the wiper or spray any water.. You can drive with whatever visibility remaining until you reach a safer place. Because eggs when mixed with water becomes milky and block your vision up to 92.5%. Then you are forced to stop at the road side and become a victim of  robbersThis is a new technique used by robbers in Johor Bahru. Please inform your friends and relatives. Please take this seriously.

Lawless Behavior of Motorist

Thats the headline in The Star. 

Eventhough for JPJ Director he "thought he had seen it all — but no, some motorists still continue to surprise him with their reckless behaviour on the road." -The Star 

For your information Datuk, all those are normal sights and practice on our road that motorist face daily on our "Malaysian Road". 

He goes to say, “The JPJ needs the public’s help so that reckless drivers will not get away unpunished,” I remember there was a website a few years ago where the public sent photographs of motorist flouting the law but wonder how many offender were taken action on. 

Now the public are asked to take photo of drivers flouting traffic law and send to aduan@jpj.gov.my

What if the photo was taken by a driver behind the wheel? He himself is committing an offence. 

When JPJ receives photos more than they can handle, what will happen? 

I remember last time when Grade A Government officer can book traffic offender. Do they have the authority to do so and under what clause? 

Thing will never change unless the individual himself-herself change. 

KLite Exodus, Ops Sikap, Lurking Dangers

Whenever one arrive back home from Kuala Lumpur during festive season nowadays, among the first question asked is "tak jam ke?". Highway being flooded with heavy traffic is not alien anymore especially on the eve of first holiday and last day of any national festivities or long weekends. Many blogger will blog about it. I have blogged about it and not worth blogging about the same thing.

However what I am going to post in this entry does not sway away from the festive season exodus of KLite. It is common every time the season came, there will be to Ops Sikap. I don't know what number is this Ops Sikap and most people (me inclusive) couldn't care less about the operation. Every time the operation came into effect, the number of accidents, deaths and summons will be highlighted. We are being told that there will be more police personnel on the road to take care of the Ops Sikap with the objective of reducing road fatalities and save life. I just don't understand what do they mean by more police personnel on the road because whenever I hit the highway, I hardly see any, either on their super bikes or patrol cars. Then there those lousy self interest bastard drivers zooming along the emergency laneswhen other drivers moving slowly in the queue and where are the police?

I use Route One on most stretches on my home bound to the North and also back to to KL. Reason : I have no money to pay for the toll and also as a protest lar........ Why pay toll when you are entering into the stress driving zone? Paying toll means getting a better journey and save time. But how do one get a better and fast journey when traffic is just a crawl. One will never have the opportunity to drive at the maximum speed of 110 Kmph. A normal 45 minutes journey from Bukit Lanjan to Tanjung Malim will take two hours and those bloody bastard drivers using the emergency lane makes the stress level raise.

This time around, I begin my journey using Route 1 beginning at 12.00 midnight from Batu Caves and I reached Alor Setar at about 10.00 a.m in the morning. Minus 4 hours of sleep at Padang Rengas Mosque, I still made an 8 hour journey and less than RM 20 for toll and its my normal travelling time. I would have taken a longer time if I were to use the PLUS highway all along at a crawling pace.

The authority should upgrade Route 1 to give alternative to road users and choose between using the highway or the Jalan Lama (like me). It's not the driver alone to be blame for road accidents. Road condition and adequate signages are one of the reasons for road accidents especially for night driving. Being a night user, I found out that the road condition is a bit dangeruous especially for once in a while drivers. You will not be aware of the turns unless one use the high beam but that will distract the oncoming driver. Dangeruous spots need to be properly marked with luminuous paint if not lighted. As an experience I missed a two feet high divider somewhere before the bridge if Sungai Kepayang before reaching Simpang Pulai. I only realise that there is a divider after passing it. There is no proper warning signage of the wide divider. If I were to hit it, my car could have turn turtle and worst still hit or run down by another user.

Somewhere along the stretch within the red circle is the about two feet divider that I missed at night.
