In the light of no-so-recent crime wave, it’s natural to be extremely cautious when you’re on the road, especially if you’re a single female driver.
That’s what AhFa’s mother always try to keep in mind. The economy isn’t rocking (despite claims to the contrary), people are out of jobs, desperate folks are looking for easy ways out. Next thing you know, you are just another statistic of smash ‘n grab road crimes.
She should know; earlier this year, she was one of them. While driving home one night, she had to stop at the traffic lights that turned red. Next thing she knew, a motorbike was next to her and the pillion rider smashed her side window, grabbed her bag and rode off. All in just a few seconds.
AhFa’s mother was unharmed but obviously it was a traumatic experience that left her shaken. Since then she was extra wary of her surroundings.
Last week at the same traffic lights, she saw a big motorbike stopping next to her car. Deja vu… She stiffened, sat upright and looked ahead as if preparing to dash off at the earliest possibility. All these seemed too familiar for comfort…
There was movement from the motorbike rider. Oh sheeeettt… she thought, this is it, he’s going to rob me! It was a guy. He seemed to be staring at her. From the corner of her eye, she saw him lifting up his helmet visor. He was gesturing. She knew, she just knew that he was going to force her to roll down the window so he could rob her. Still she tried to keep up a brave front and in her heart, prayed and prayed for the traffic lights to turn green.
A second later, it did. Without waiting, she sped off and head straight home, shaken yet grateful for an incident-free evening. Her daughter AhFa was at home so she told her the entire story while trying to calm down.

So KY was on his motorbike on his way home when he saw a familiar car. He stopped by the side of the car and saw a familiar face. He thought to himself, heyyy it’s AhFa’s mom, let me say hi!
He lifted up his helmet visor so she’d recognised him and gave a friendly wave. She ignored him. That was weird.
“I was trying to say hi only…”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH STILL FUNNY. but my poor mummy. BUT SO FUNNY.

At least she’s getting free Guinness out of it 😛
hahahahaha! poor aunty …. KY gave her a scare!
He got home, thought about it and called her to explain that it was him. Only then she relaxed 😛
But that is a really, really sad commentary about the depths to which our society has sunk. The people in charge are responsible for this real and clear fear of threats around every corner.
But oh well, there is a laugh in there heh heh…
Find humour wherever we can 🙂
😐
bad motorbiker.
Maybe KY should switch to a Honda. The nicest people ride Hondas.
HAHAHAHHAHA OMG.

Lol, found this post very funny…
Actually because of the current cases and because we experienced it personally, I am wary of bikes. Hmmmm not sure if I would run from KY with his visor on if he rides near me or scream or start hurling things at him. LOLZ.

In such times, it pays to be careful. Some years back, 2 guy on a bike pointed to my car front tire and there is smoke i.e. “asap” at the traffic lights. And I was thinking cannot be. They wanted to stop the car & rob me. Fortunately, I stopped near a police station so they did rode off. When I went down to check, nothing wrong with the car.
Once, in PJ, there was a guy who knocked on windows & told a sad story how his car ran out of fuel & he needed some money for fuel. Saw the same guy a few times days later so it could not be true.
Better be safe than sorry.
