Crime Awareness 9 August 2014 (TAIPING MALL)
Thugs is still looking for victim.

Hi to all my friends, I just want to share this out so that everyone of you aware of this case. This case take place in Taiping, I supposed these syndicate will on the go to any of the cities to look for naive victim.

Summary of their Tactics/Setup/Master Plan.
1) Stop anyone who look age between 18 - 28 (we have baby face, I am 26 but I look like 18).
2) They probably will look for chinese probably because this is the language they can speak and act fluently.
3) They claimed and act like a gangster and loan-shark.
4) They claimed there are 10-20 numbers of gangster here. (but actually only 3 in my case, this is what I think)
5) They will bring up any story, that claimed you involved in it.
6) They will threatening you by hurt/death.
7) One person will do supporting role (配角), one will do the talks (main actor/主要演员) and one will do BIG BOSS (老大) Big size 180cm tall.
8) The supporting role (配角) will keep you busy talking to you, try not to let you talk to each other during interrogate.
9) The main actor/主要演员 will make you scared, with aggressive manner.
10) The BIG BOSS (老大) talk to you about the situation (bullshiting story). but will be aggressive talk if you refuse.
11) They will keep you busy by social with you, try to avoid you from talking to each other.
12) Location Strategy, will choose shopping because because they want you to felt safe use it to his advantage for lower down your guard. Another point is people who shop there usually have money.
13) They aim the Youngest (or youngest looking) one, the trick is, during the Interrogate process is where they want to gain your trust. When my brother returned, they said they have checked everything from my brother and didn't taken anything from him or hurt him. But in my turn, they ask for ATM Password, and said my 2 brothers had do the same by giving password for them. They lied, i refused to trust them and demand personal talk with my brother. This is where they panic and situation run out of control for them.

The Actual Incident.

Me and my brothers (age 26 - 32) went for dinner at Taiping Mall, when we finished our dinner and heading our way to our car, there was these 3 guys stop us half way to our car park. They look like thugs, gangster and a drug abuse, 2 of them are skinny with est. 168-175cm tall, and another one claimed to be his Tai Lou (Big boss) with est. 180cm tall and quite muscular guy.

The thugs claimed that they are gangster and a loan shark, they said there is a gang-fight in this are (taiping mall) their gangs has been beaten up and stabbed. They also said that they are now have 20 numbers of gangster around these street are looking for them and they suspect us are one of the gang-members. They threaten us by telling us if with do not cooperate what he said, they will drag us into the car pull us somewhere far and beat us up , slashing or even kill us. The conversation is very aggressive (gangster talk) and they seem serious about it. They also highlighted that they are again loan-shark, they have plenty of money and they don't want our money. They ask us to go to Secret Recipe in Taiping Mall to have a short conversation and negotiation so that they can check us up and explain everything further.

Since I thought that Taiping crowded with people and security, so we followed them to the mall. On the way there, I told one of the thug that I in a rush to home to do something, he ignored.

We were seated by the thugs at Secret Recipe, they talk to us again aggressively and one of them turn on me and said "ARE YOU IN A RUSH? DO YOU BELIEVED THAT I WILL PULL YOU OUT NOW AND PUT YOU IN THE CAR AND DRIVE YOU SOMEWHERE ELSE BEAT YOU DOWN? I JUST WANT TO HAVE A MINUTES CONVERSATION ONLY, CAN YOU SPARE THE TIME FOR ME?" I have no option, worried that they are group of people who will do anything, so I cooperate.

So they explained further the situation when we were in the secret recipe, this time they tell us different story. They are loan-shark, they are not only looking for the gangs who fought with them, they also looking for the people who owe them money and run-away (zau lou). They first check our handphone messages and call log and make sure we don't have any related conversation with the people they are looking for. After they checked, they warn us do not use the phone to do anything in case we calling gangster backup. They repeatedly saying that they are rich, they can loan us money 1 million at anytime and they do not want our money. They also said that after we have done with this talks, they ask us to forget about everything what happened and what they said otherwise they will look for us.

They then took us one by one out to restoren Wang Li Xiang, from oldest brother to me the youngest, to have interrogate. They took my brother who named Keat, after 5-10 minute they bring him back secret recipe. Before they took another person for interrogate, they highlighting in front of us that He Has Done Nothing Wrong with him (keat), no fight no punch and no taken money from him and so my brother say yes. So they bring another brother of mine (hong), after around 5-6 minute, he returned. Then again they said the same thing, nothing has done to him (hong). One of them keep us watched or keep us busy talking socially. Their intention is not let us talk to each other when my brother come back.

He then ask me follow him. I was lead to restoren Wan Li Xiang, seated down and ask dozen of questions. Where I am from, where do I stay, how many bank I currently using, ask me to wrote down my name, ic, and contacts, demanded to check my ATM/debit card. They also said that they did false credit card and debit card to cheat people money as well as given as loan-shark related activities. He then asked the most sensitive question, they demand my ATM 6 digit pin number/password, I refused. They then getting even more aggressive and angry at the same time telling me that they have done they same to my brother and I you also confirm that they said nothing wrong. what is your problem!? Do you want me to drag you out NOW? I then replied that if you want my atm 6 digit pin number, I demand to see my brother and ask him personally if you say so (brother pin has been taken). The thugs then went back to secret recipe, bought my brother Hong along, in the mean time he talked to my brother in a quick manner which I saw from far. Once my brother seated opposite me, when I want to ask, the thugs stopped me from talking and ask me to SHUT UP. He then ask my brother Hong, did I ask everything from you so on, my brother reply YES. And he now ask again 6 digit pin number, I refused. I said I want to talk to my brother personally. He get angrier and talk something which I don't give a damn anymore. during that time were a lot people lepak they drink beer and coffee. Since they are many people there, I'm not afraid of them. I lost my patient I and shouted back at them, LET ME TALK TO MY BROTHER PERSONALLY TO CONFIRM, IS THAT SO HARD FOR YOU TO DO THAT!? (in a aggressive manner and some what willing to put up a fight as well)

They then mumbling something ask us to return to secret recipe with them, we followed behind them. They then separate apart and walk away. We did not stop them but worrying our safety first, they look for information counter and asked for security guard and call Polis.

Conclusion.
In my opinion, they are only 3 of them who tried to set this trap up. Threatening is part of their tactics to make us afraid, they also separate us from talking, then they try to convince us that they are not interest in our money. They will bring up all sort of nonsense story saying that their credit/debit card has been taken, and they demand see your card and eventually ask for your password/6 digit pin. They will act gansterism, and they do look like drug-abuser. They maybe on the go to some other place to perform this master plan again. Please Be Aware.

Share this out for your family and friends. Especially those who stay on the north side of peninsula.

During the entire situation, this is what I did.
1) Analyze the location is safe.
2) If they claimed they are gangster who fought on the street, check their scars on their skin. These are the supporting sign of who they actually are.
3) Analyze their tactics, and what they actually want.
4) Analyze their story, in this case, they said they are looking for the group of gangster in the first place. They end-up asking bank details. This is also a supporting sign that they are not gangster but cheater.
5) When I was interrogate, once I confirmed their intention, I demanded politely to see my brother. But in fact, I need backup with someone I trusted. I then start to fight back.

QUESTION I INTERESTED TO ASK.
1) TAIPING MALL SECURITY - I felt unsafe seeing that thugs are walking in and out Taiping Mall (secret recipe). Is like this is their gangsterism territorial. They were 1-2 security guard in front of the main entrance, who seem doesn't bother. The irony thing is, we were seated at secret recipe shop and the thugs are aggressively threatening us, no one seem bother about it. I thought that their BOSS owning this restaurant to do whatever. There were about 6-8 service staffs, not even one of them come forward ask for order for good 15-20min. Poor awareness of their surroundings. Do I feel safe in Taiping, DEFINITELY A NO, NOT SAFE.

2) Secret Recipe - As mentioned at (1), poor service, not even placing menu.

3) For good 51 years independence of Malaysia, I felt Malaysia has failed their role in Education system. The Malaysia has draw backward in many sector than advance. Seeing thugs are increasing in the recent days, my family members also used to be robed, cheated and threaten. I have serious doubt who else not experience criminal cases these days. I have tons of question in term of politic, but I don't want to get involve...

4) Hong Leong bank - After the incident, to avoid anything might taken from the thugs. I decided to terminate account, I called 24 hrs service line. I waited for good 15-20 minute call only they pick up the phone. If those are professional thugs, this is more than enough time for them to transfer money out. There is no emergency option for the call as well. Their service is questionable.

ps. They will be more details and advice, but I couldn't think of it because im short of time. I need to go secret recipe to take footage of the cctv. I will be right back editing it.

Appreciate your answer and advice.
