Gd to hear that u made it out alive! Anyway, think that it's always good to be 'streetwise'. It doesn't necessarily have to be 'open game' if u exercise a bit of caution.
Do not be 'flashy' in appearance and attitude, keep money in several places (in case u get mugged, just give RM50 u set aside in one of the pockets to them), try not to bring a wallet, if possible, keep passports safe (try using a waist pouch), use a cheap watch, move in larger groups in lighted areas, try using a cab, etc.... and the list goes on.
Have travelled extensively and even in places like US and Holland, people have tried extorting money and even trying to exchange counterfeit money with me. But managed to manoeuver myself out of all this without much difficulties.
The abv is just some of the many ways i have used whenever i travel. It has served me well.
Anyway, tks bro E-Moron for sharing& hope u recover soon. Cheers!!

Alamak, darn suay. But heng, bo tai zi. Dun worry, when ur luck is down, the only way it can go is up from now on.

Well, if u must go JB at night, go to crowded and well lit places. No dodgy, quiet and dark places.

Glad that you are recovering well. I will find that it's actually purely "Heng Suay"... No doubt that JB is very unsafe but then most importantly is also to keep away the $$ out of the sight of other people.... If you are always inside, dress like the locals and no one will recognise you as Singaporean. I usually have two wallet whenever I am inside just be sure that even if I was robbed, I still have some $$ to go home... But of course most importantly is to keep the 2 wallets at separate places...

Sorry to hear about your experience in JB Bro E-Moron. That was the town I spent my childhood before I came to live and work in KL. It used to be such a nice and quiet town those days but not any longer as I have been told. The situation is getting from bad to worse. Whenever I am there which is not very often, I do get the feeling that it is not safe.

Do take care all those who go to JB for some fun.

You're being robbed in JB! It's not your fault unless you did something not proper and don't want to tell.

cheers

Bro E-moron, I feel your pain.. sigh .. JB is getting from bad to worse.. Had a incident happened to a mate of mine.. And it happened while he was driving.. He was coming back from PG (JB racing track) late at night about 2plus.. when he notice a group of 10 bikers (1 rider 1 passanger) following him from behind(out from nowhere, he thinks that they could be hiding from somewhere till they find a willing target) . He decided to speed up and then trouble happened.. The bikers caught up and drove up beside both the side of the car and sudden, THEY USED their bike helmet and started hitting his window.. Thank god that his window didnt smash at that time and only left a crack on both side of his car windows.. Anyway, lucky his car wasn't a stock car (modded civic) he just dropped his gear and left them behind (another blessing in disguise - having a pretty quick car :P).. Well guys, as you can see, it can happen anywhere in malaysia, even on a moving car... just plain sad..

So bros who drive up, pls make sure that all your windows are up and doors are locked when on the highway.. unless like me , no air-con.. LL drive in your sweat ... and i always make sure that I carry at least 2 umbrella and 2 baseball bat in the car (always tell custom that I'm a baseballer .. )..

Well bro, just be really careful when in malaysia now-a-days..

Cheers
