A friend in need is a friend indeed

It takes two bloody robbers to make me feel how blessed I am.

When I reached Menara Great Eastern in Jalan Ampang, the complex security senior officer offered his help instantly. He was kind and sympathetic. He assigned his men to keep an eye on my car and instructed a lady officer to accompany me to the 6th floor.

Thank you, sir! I will post his name later. In my confused state of mind, I forgot to get his name. (He is security supervisor MR M ELANGOVAN). I also wish to thank the lady officer who comforted me all the way in the lift. Terima kasih, puan! (She is security officer PUAN SHAKDAH OTHMAN).

When I reached the 6th floor, I'm grateful to my friends in Toastmasters International for helping me to clean my wounds and getting me plasters. Where did the plasters come from? They appeared like magic!

In particular I wish to thank Division Governor Mr Azmi Shahrin, Area Governor Mr Paul Tan, my Club President Ms Sandy Tan and the lovely lady Ms Jane who got me the plasters.

I thank God for blessing me with kind people in my hour of need.

I almost have a heart attack when the robbers attack

Yesterday, Saturday 15 March, I was robbed along Jalan Ampang, Selangor, while driving in my LOCKED car.

I took the slip road from MRR2 Expressway to Jalan Ampang heading towards Great Eastern Mall. Traffic on the slip road is usually slow because vehicles queue up to get into the main road of Jalan Ampang.

All of a sudden, I noticed a guy racing towards the passenger side of my car. The next instant, there was one big EXPLOSION.

The glass window on the front passenger side was smashed and splinters flew all over my car. The criminal grabbed my handbag which was on the passenger seat, then ran towards a waiting motorcycle. In a flash, they were gone.

The explosion left me in a state of shock. When I came to my senses, I found I was bleeding from my left hand and left leg. My heart pounded so violently I thought I might collapse.

Robbers in the Klang Valley must be really desperate to resort to such violent measures.

Please alert your families and friends, especially the ladies.

Damn it, I can't seem to get the explosion out of my head!
