JULY 2012

Madam Rita Zahara, 37, was carjacked by two men, armed with a gun and knife, who drove off with her two young children, younger sister and maid still inside.

She had stopped by a roadside stall in Larkin, Johor, just past midnight to buy fruits while on her way back to Singapore.

The men then threatened to kill her family if she failed to pay a ransom.

When she did not pay up, they dumped the four hostages by a roadside in Ulu Tiram and fled with the car and valuables totalling $78,000.

Johor police later recovered the car and arrested three men. In August, two of them, aged 33 and 37, were jailed eight years and ordered to be caned thrice after they pleaded guilty to gang robbery. Their accomplice, 45, was sentenced to seven years' jail.

JUNE 2012

Mr Koh Teck Huat, 40, was fatally shot at the lift lobby of Taman Desa Tebrau condominium in Johor Baru (JB).

Several shots were fired from a lowered window of a slow-moving multi-purpose vehicle at the carpark.

One bullet pierced the back of his neck, killing him.

Police later found drugs in a bag Mr Koh was carrying and also in his apartment. His girlfriend was later arrested for drug-related offences.

APRIL 2012

Mr Chang Jeng Wei, 49, who lived in JB, was stabbed to death at a food court after a gang negotiation went wrong.

A man from the other gang headed straight for Mr Chang and plunged a knife into his chest.

A Singaporean living in Johor Baru was stabbed to death on Saturday night after what newspapers described as gang negotiations gone wrong.

Mr Chang Jeng Wei, 49, was attacked at a food court in Johor Baru at about 9pm,reported Lianhe Wanbao and Shin Min Daily News.

Together with some friends, Mr Chang,who had been working as a waiter, met a Malaysian gang for talks at the eatery, which is about a 30-minute drive from his workplace.

It is not known what they were negotiating, but the talks did not seem to have gone well.

Witnesses told Lianhe Wanbao that the two groups of men had raised their voices, creating a ruckus.

As the talks were breaking down, the other gang called another group to the scene. When the new group arrived, one of them headed straight for Mr Chang and plunged a knife into his chest.

When his friends saw what had happened, they yelled at his attacker to stop.

One of them shouted: "If you stab him again, he'll die!"

A worker at a car repair factory nearby told Lianhe Wanbao that Mr Chang ran about 50m before falling to the ground in front of another food court.

Shin Min reported that his attackers fled the scene in cars.

The boss of the food court, a 52-year-old woman,told Lianhe Wanbao that the attack was over within minutes.

When reporters visited the scene yesterday morning, a 4m-long blood trail was still evident.

Mr Chang and his ex-wife,who have a 17-year-old child, were divorced a few years ago, reported Wanbao.

Lost touch

After moving to Johor Baru two years ago, he lost touch with his family.

When reporters spoke to his sister yesterday, she said that she was trying to get in touch with the ex-wife.

Mr Chang's boss expressed shock at his death: "He had got off work at about 5pm and was meeting his friends to just have a bite. I never imagined he would be stabbed to death.

"When I received a call from the police notifying me of what had happened, I contacted his family immediately," he said, adding that as an employee,Mr Chang was pleasant and mild-tempered.

Shin Min reported that in 1995, Mr Chang's father, who ran a car workshop, wanted his son to succeed him.

However, Mr Chang said he had other ideas of his own to pursue and declined his father's offer.

I have to say Singapore is the safest. At least Malaysia mostly stabbings only. Here in Thailand always shootings. Scared or not? Singapore surely is bestest place. Thanks to PAP government and their poodles.

I hear so many crime reports ivolving Singaporeans in Johor. The reason could be it has so many Singaporean visitors everyday, that many Malaysian criminals gravitate towards Johor because of easy pickings. On the whole, Malaysia is quite crime-ridden but quite isolated except it occurs more often in the large cities.

I seldom stopped over in Johor Bahru preferring to take my first break at least 100 -150 km away from the capital in the smaller towns before proceeding my journey to other states.
