Report of the accident on Jalan 2/14
On 7th September 2011 at 10.30 a.m., I was walking alone Jalan 2/14 which
is next to the childrens playground. As I was about to cross the road to enter the
park, I saw a car driving swiftly down Jalan 4/14. It was a Honda Civic with the
number plate BEH 9110. Another car, a Toyota Vios 1.5 with plate number WHM
4657 came out of Jalan 4/14 as well. The Honda Civic was driving too fast that make
it did not have time to avoid collision.
The accident caused a loud crash. The Honda Civic hit the Toyota Vios on
the drivers door. The door could not be opened and the driver had to get out from
the passengers door. The driver of the Toyota Vios was lucky as he survived with no
physical injuries. Both air bags popped up when they collided to each other. They
both were fortunate as their car was not badly damaged and dented.
The Toyota Vioss windscreen was shattered to pieces. The Honda Civics
headlight and signal light were smashed. There was plenty of glass on the road. The
two drivers startled to argue. The driver of the Honda City was a woman. They
blamed each other and the argument stopped when her mobile phone rang. Most of
the passerby slowed down their vehicle to watch the accident. Some pedestrian
came by and offered help.
As it happened, I ran into my house which is close by. I called the nearest
police station and in ten minutes, a police car drove up. I told the police officer I had
witnessed the accident and offered to come out to the station to give a statement.
The cars were towed to the side of the road first, and then were brought to the police
station before to workshop. Pictures were taken for insurance claim.
In my opinion, the driver of the Honda City is to blame for the accident. She
was driving too fast and did not pay any attention to vehicles coming out from the
side road. The driver of the Toyota Vios should have stopped at the junction.

Couple Foils Robbery Attempt
PULAU PINANG, Thu An elderly businessman and his wife foiled a robbery
attempt by two men armed with a screwdriver and a knife. The victims were reported
safe from any bad injury.
Tan Ah Wok, 60 and his wife were taking a morning walk near their home in
Helen Heights yesterday when two men on a motorcycle stopped them under the
pretext of asking for directions. As Mr. Tan was giving directions, one of the robbers
pointed a knife at him and ordered them to keep quiet. He then relieved Mrs. Tan of
her jewellery and instructed Mr. Tan to hand over his ring and watch. When he
refused, a struggle ensued. Meanwhile, his accomplice grabbed a helmet and hit Mr.
Tan on the head with it. On seeing this, his wife started screaming.
One of their neighbours, R. Subramaniam, who was taking his dog for a walk,
heard the screams and when to investigate. On seeing Subramaniam and his dog,
the robbers fled. I was taking my dog for a walk when I heard someone shouting for
help. Knowing that something was wrong, I ran there as fast as I could. Before I
reached the scene, the robbers fled on a motorbike. They were probably afraid of my
Rottweiler.
Mr. Tan, who suffered a small cut on his head, was given outpatient
treatment at a private clinic. He said that it was a horrified experience as he never
expected the two men would attack his wife and him. He thought that they were lost
and needed help. He also mentioned that the guard who in charge nowadays easily
allowed the strangers to enter their residents. State CID Chief Supt Harun Din
advised him and the people to be more careful in giving help to strangers. The guard
also must be stricter in letting people from entering any residents without proper
permission.
He added that the suspects, aged between 25 and 30, were believed to be
illegal immigrants. He said there had been similar incident last week when two men
approached a factory worker who was on her way home after work. The duo then
relieved her gold chain and cash. He advised the residents to be alert and reports to
police any suspicious-looking characters lurking in their area.
