KUALA LUMPUR: A second Tunku Abdul Rahman College (KTAR) student fell victim to robbres just minutes after first-year accountancy student Lee Khian Yip was hacked to death in Wangsa Maju here on Saturday.

Phang Kar Wei, 23, was repeatedly assaulted and slashed three times on his hands and neck by two men on a motorcycle at 8.45pm in Taman Melati, some 2km from Wangsa Maju.

Police believe the same robbers were behind both incidents.

Met at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital yesterday, Phang said he was walking back to his condominium from the Taman Melati LRT station about 1km away when he saw two men, aged between 18 and 20, standing beside a motorcycle.

When I walked past them, one of them asked me for directions to get to Kelana Jaya but I said I was not sure and kept on walking.

His friend then asked me if he could borrow my handphone to make a call as his pre-paid credit was used up.

Phang said he ignored him. The Information System Engineering student from Kampar said both the men followed and cornered him.

One held me while the other threatened me with a parang. When I refused to hand over my money, he slashed my neck, took my RM1,000 laptop and the RM2 in my wallet.

Phang managed to run away but the men caught up with him on their motorcycle.

They slashed me again and repeatedly assaulted me, he said.

Wangsa Maju MP Yew Teong Look said the area was prone to crime and hoped the authorities would ensure the situation did not get worse.

Sentul OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Rodzi Ismail said police set up a task force on Saturday to hunt down the suspects and urged the public to help them in nabbing those responsible.

We believe the two could have been involved in more cases in the district and in the Klang Valley, he said.

He urged those with information to contact the Rakan Cop at 03-2115 9999 or the Sentul police station at 03-4042 2222.

On Saturday, 18-year-old Lee Khian Yip was walking back to his hostel at TAR Villa when the assailants struck at 8.30pm.

Despite bleeding profusely, he called his retired manager father Lee Mook Kwai, 55, from his handphone and told him that he had been slashed.

Khian Yip was a promising student and had scored 11As in his SPM.

BALING: A Form Three student in Kuala Ketil, near here, suffered serious head injuries after he was allegedly beaten up by a group of students in his school yesterday.

S. Kumar, who was holding his head to stop the bleeding, was rushed to a hospital by a policeman.

Another policeman arrived at the scene shortly after and detained a student who was holding a stick in his hand.

Kumar, the son of an auxiliary policeman from Kampong Baru here, said he was walking out of the school with some schoolmates at 1pm when a group of students approached them and an argument followed.

The students attacked them with sticks and stones.

A teacher who declined to be named said the students were often embroiled in fights.

Baling OCPD Supt Mat Daud Mat Hassan, when contacted, said police were investigating the incident and had questioned the suspect.

State education director Datuk Abdul Rahman Yop said he would get the details from the Baling education office.

*To some extend it is going into a blood bath these days for those poor students…

Whoa, what’s wrong with the society nowadays?
I mean, why can’t we settle disputes in a better way?
Is this a case of “monkey see monkey do?”

I think I won’t let my children go to school. I will home teach them. :roll:

6

Why is there so much fighting at such frequency? Back in our days, fights do happen but when it does there’s an interval of about at least half a year between big fights in among students - and when it does, it’s a surprise and shock to everyone.

Now there’s a big fight reported every week, almost can be counted within days, and it’s as if nobody bats an eyelid over it.

7

It sounds like an infection of fights spreading among schools these days… but this infection dun involve any virus strain in it

8

Maybe they’re infected with virus, who knows?
And too much of gory scenes in TV, movies and whatever they’re watching.
Nowadays, everyone learn so fast.
For the wrong reason.

RM30,000 reward for info on killers

http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/8/2/nation/15024211&sec=nation

KUALA LUMPUR: A RM30,000 reward has been offered to anybody with information leading to the arrest of the killers of 18-year-old Tunku Abdul Rahman College (KTAR) accountancy student Lee Khian Yip.

The reward was offered by bereavement services company NV Alliance Sdn Bhd during an open forum held at the college yesterday to discuss the recent spate of violent crimes against students.

Students and residents took the Setapak and Wangsa Maju police to task for various issues.

SOMBRE MOOD: Students, residents and others who attended the open forum at KTAR observing a moment of silence for Khian Yip who was hacked to death on Saturday by robbers.
One student, who only identified herself as HP, said security within the neighbourhood had gone from bad to worse, adding that snatch thefts and robberies were now normal occurrences.

There are as many as two to three such incidents every week but when the victims go to the police station to make a report, they are discouraged from doing so, she said.

They are told that the incident was a result of their own carelessness and that they shouldn’t trouble the police with ‘small things’ like that.

Wangsa Maju Section 2 Residents’ Association representative Lim Cheng Hock said the usual excuse given by police every time somebody tried to make a report was that they were understaffed.

We don’t want any more lame excuses like this, he said to thunderous applause from the crowd in the college hall.

Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Fu Ah Kiow said every police station has to accept any report made.

If you encounter any police personnel who give you nonsensical answers, you can either inform me or the district police chief, he added.

Give us the date, the name of the person as well as his or her police ID number and we will take action.

Sentul OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Rodzi Ismail said anyone unhappy with services provided by police personnel could lodge a complaint with details of the alleged incident.

Wangsa Maju folks living in fear

http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/8/2/nation/15020897&sec=nation

KUALA LUMPUR: Nowadays, the residents of Wangsa Maju are hiding behind locked grilles and doors as their neighbourhood is a hotspot for snatch thieves.

SAFETY IN MIND: KTAR student Wong Hooi Lin, 19, who often walks alone to the Taman Melati LRT station, says she plans to buy an umbrella to protect herself in difficult situations.
Robberies are so rampant that the residents are in fear most of the time.

Kolej Tunku Abdul Rahman (KTAR) student Joanne Chin, who lives only three roads from where her college mate Lee Khian Yip was hacked to death, said she was fearful for her safety.

Students Khian Yip and Phang Kar Wei were slashed by robbers on Saturday. Kar Wei survived the attack.

I happened to be in Seremban when it occurred. It deeply affects our mood because we are worried whether this can happen to us one day, Joanne said, adding that burglars had broken into her house twice.

Housewife Nor Aziz said she missed the peace the neighbourhood enjoyed.

We constantly hear of snatch thefts in this area, she said.

Nor mentioned that it was not safe for the residents to even perforn the simplest chores in their front yard.

A resident was in the midst of throwing rubbish when a man on a motorcycle snatched her gold chain, she recounted.

Nor suggested that police patrol the area undercover to see the criminal activities there. The spot where the slashing took place is dark and City Hall workers were seen trimming the overgrown trees when The Star visited the crime scene yesterday.

A City Hall official said the authorities were always a step behind the criminals. They trimmed the trees to brighten up the place, but they should have done it before someone was killed, he said.

The residents also have to put up with faulty streetlights leaving them in darkness at night, making it easier for the thieves to strike.

KTAR accounting student Yap Sook Lim said she would rather pay RM2.50 for a taxi ride from the Taman Melati LRT station to her colleges entrance than take the risk of walking alone.

The crimes have put us on guard. Many have decided to take safety precautions to protect ourselves, she said.

Safety has become a serious issue among the students at KTAR.

* This is something really worrying not to one but all the places around Malaysia…now the days had passed where almost everyday you hear someone gets killed for just going out and do some necessity stuff…What is the factor that leads to this ongoing??
