Decided to visit the bazaar in Bangsar on the first day of Ramadan to check out what is available. The rain didn’t allow me to buy everything I wanted so this calls for another visit!
If you have any good Ramadan bazaars to recommend, leave those suggestions in the comment box. 😊
Times are bad, please be alert and stay safe!
Just wanted to share my horrible experience of becoming an unfortunate victim of a snatch thief at the Bangsar area. At around 4.30pm today, I was walking to my car which was parked near the Hong Leong Bank row in the Telawi area. I was aware of my surroundings but I was not alert enough. There was a ramadan bazaar down the street and plenty of people walking around.
I wanted to cut through the shops along the Jalan Telawi stretch so I walked through the small lane opposite Coffee Coffea. My handbag was slung across my body. I heard a motorbike coming from behind me. All of a sudden, I was pushed from the back and fell forward on my chest. It happened so fast that I had no chance to react. The snatch thief rode past me from the back and tried to grab my bag. He didn't manage to take anything as my bag didn't snap and was still with me.
Thank God, I didn't suffer any major injuries. I have a bruised and scratched forehead, scratches on my hands and knees. My wounds were just cuts and bruises, no broken ribs or bones. I fell right beside a car and the driver (with kids in the car and waiting for his wife) saw the whole thing and he quickly came down to help me. Meanwhile another guy from the nearby shop could only stand aside looking at me without any reaction.
I told the driver to not leave me alone as I was afraid the riders would turn back as they didn't manage to take my bag the first time plus I was in a weak state. The driver helped me into his car and drove off to pick up his wife.
In my state of shock, I called Lee and asked the kind Samaritan to help bring me straight to the police station.
The Inspector said that there are at least 8 cases a day in Bangsar/Brickfields zone alone! I've always read on the news and FB but I've never ever thought it would happened to me.
So guys and girls, pls be alert, be aware and never let your guard down or walk in lanes alone. I'm glad I'm just not injured badly and didn't lose my tooth!
