“Two weeks ago, a grandmother was pushed by two individuals on a motorcycle trying to snatch her belongings. She and her daughter fell to the ground. We believe the attackers had followed them from the night market,” said Ling.
Relating the incident, Fong Yit Kew, 71, said she remembered seeing two individuals stopping in front of her on the pretext of asking for directions.
“Next thing I knew, the accomplice reached out for my daughter’s handbag. We tried to stop them while the other person pushed me and my grandchildren to the ground.”
Fong said neighbours came out upon hearing the commotion, resulting in the attackers fleeing.
“I am still in shock and suffering injuries from the fall. I have bruises and a swollen leg. I’m scared to go out even with my family. Nothing is safe now,” said the grandmother of seven.

Seputeh MP Teresa Kok expressed concern over the crime spate in Taman Gembira. She hoped residents would take precautions and called for greater police presence in the neighbourhood.
“I appeal to residents to never let their guard down and be aware of their surroundings. I also hope police would increase their presence, especially in the mornings and late evenings.”
She encouraged residents to have a dialogue with police. “An active RT would help residents foster closer ties and help each other with safety issues. A gated community is also an additional option residents can consider.”
Cowards, picking on old ladies. If they have the strength to steal, rob, run and attack, why don’t they use that to work and contribute to themselves, their loved ones and society?
I think very stiff penalties should be imposed on snatch thieves and for attacking old people who might easily die, amend to the law to cite them for attempted murder, even for the above case.
if there is a good economy and efficient police force, and strict immigration control, much less of this would happen.
the federal government is responsible for the macro environment Malaysians live in, no point talking about rakyat diutamakan when these malice lingers on
