REAL stories about vandalism

Yesterday, one of my friend send me email regarding an incident that he had encoutered. I think it will be good to share this story with you guys and hopefully you guys will forward an email to your friends or blog/share this piece of information with your friends that there are vandals around which are creating trouble for us.

This is how the story goes:

Last night, my friend, John was parking his car at Blk 10 Level 3 multi-storey carpark. When he was ready to leave the carpark, he saw a young man looking suspiciously with black cap on. He was wearing black throughout and he looks in his 20s. This caught his attention and thus he decided to follow up with the suspious guy. John couldn't believe what he saw. He saw the young man was vandalising some other people's car with paints and scratches on the car. This is an irresponsible act and is not right for people to do that. Despite feeling unjustice, he is afraid to speak up and this is why he is sending me this email to ask me to pass the message around that vandalism is happening around us, and people should be more aware of it.

Below are the attached pictures which my friend have send it to me:

Tips to prevent ourselves from being rob

Today, a young policeman from the neighbourhood police post came over to our school to give an education talk about crime prevention: Robbery. Hopefully by sharing with you guys, you will be more aware of the precaution to take. Below are the tips:

1) Always be alert and attentive to the surroundings. If you suspect that somebody is following you, remain calm and proceed to a more crowded area to seek assistance.

2) Avoid taking short cuts through dimly lit, quiet and secluded places.

3) Do not expose cash/handphone in public view.

4) Do not carry large sums of money when you are out. If you do, deposit the money in a bank or remit the money home as soon as possible.
