Alert - Hate Crimes Against Foreign Women in Malaysia

Recently, two expatriate women (US and Canada) were attacked in the middle of the dancefloor at Zouk nightclub in Kuala Lumpur. They described their attacker as an older Malay male (with bodyguards!) who claimed they were dancing "too close to the VIP area". The women, both teachers at International Schools in KL, were celebrating the end of the school year and saying good bye as the American teacher was transferring to a school in Buenos Aires.

Sensing that this man may have been problematic, they moved away from the VIP area and continued to dance. What happened next brought tears to my eyes. Our Canadian friend said that the Malay man returned to the dancefloor and began shouting at them to "Go back to where you came from" and called them a variety of choice names. He then grabbed the AMerican woman by the ears and head-butted her in the teeth. Stunned, the American started after the Malay man as he stomped off toward the VIP area. The Canadian woman followed her, and was cold-cocked to the side of her head by...the bodyguard!!

Meanwhile, Zouk's bouncers as well as the club- goers did nothing. It gets worse.

The Canadian woman clears the stars out of her head to see the American woman being held - an arm by each bodyguard, while the Malay man kicked her repeatedly and savagely in the stomach - so hard, that she defecated on the floor. All the while, the Malay man uttered racial and sexist epithets against the women.

Zouk's bouncers did nothing....... (Please read more in detail here)

Some 40 years ago, the Japanese invented low cost motorbikes to make money, these motorbikes (from 50cc to 125cc) sold like hot cakes 40 years continuously especially in South East Asia. It cost less than US$700 each, affordable by all low income Malaysian. In the 80s, some people bought these low cost motorbikes to illegally race on street, they spent just a little to modify the engine to make the engine extremely loud, they hope everyone can hear them riding. In the 90's some peoples began using these low cost motorbikes to earn money through snatching women's handbags, they rode the bike whole day to make living. (Picture, example only) is a photo taken at a random Kuala Lumpur's highway, this is a photo to tourists to show how they rode the bike to snatch handbags. Be careful. Also please wear helmet when riding motorbike, peoples in picture are riders trying to challenge law, they think they are cool and need attention from us, they will do 'monkey actions' if they know we are looking at them. Police need extra energies to arrest them because these low cost motorbikes can easily disappear to nowhere, some of these engines can go up to 180kph, too fast for police to catch them.

A photo I took from the back of a big heavy logging truck.

This is very dangerous
If you are on the road, try to avoid these monsters, not long ago somebody was killed by such vehicles somewhere in Rawang, Selangor.

Garbage Curse is a warning tip I found quite intesresting but malicious. I discovered this message in a location called Setapak in Kuala Lumpur. There was a low cost apartment with many shops in front main road, the message is placed slightLY off public's attention, therefore not many peoples saw it. I went there to have my Dim Sum breakfast and saw the entire scene so unbelievable that many inhabitants actually just bang their garbage there in irresponsible behavior. The owner of the house nearest to the garbage probably couldn't take it anymore to write this message and place it right there. It looked like blood written from far, the message translated to English is....PEOPLES THAT LEAVE GARBAGE HERE DIE THE WHOLE FAMILY !!!
