ADVICE: TYRE PUNCTURED ALONG NS HIGHWAY - WHAT TO DO?

It is highly dangerous if you attempt changing punctured tyre yourself along NS highway, you don’t know

what would happen to you when there are many cars speeding plus all reckless bus / truck drivers.




Plus Assist 1800 – 88 – 0000 (SAVE THIS NUMBER IN YOUR PHONE, IF YOU DON’T HAVE)




Yesterday, as I was driving home from Ipoh and somewhere after Simpang Pulai, at about 6pm cruising with

my Hilux at 120km/hr at the fast lane. I heard a loud burst as if the rear part of my car was disintegrated. I

looked at the rear mirror and saw thick heavy white smoke at the left side of my car. Luckily the ABS was

working well and I managed to control the car, I turned on the signal light and pull over to the roadside

shoulder. I called the Plus Helpline immediately: 1-800-880-000.



The followings were the conversation.

Eric: Plus Helpline, saya ingin minta bantuan.

Plus: Ya Encik, apa telah berlaku?

Eric : Tyre saya telah pecah, boleh hantar bantuan tah?

Plus: Di mana Encik sekarang?

Eric: Saya berada di km 284 daripada Ipoh ke Kuala Lumpur

dan nombor kereta saya AGW9882.

Plus: Ok, Encik tunggu, kami akan hantar bantuan.



The Plus Patrol car arrived 15mins later and fixed up the tyre for me within 10 mins.

~ The story about Vitamin E~

                

           Let’s talk about health….When I drove to come to the office, Traxx FM always talk about be health, and it’s a good for us. So, I felt very excited to share something with you all. Actually, I’m not quite good in this but I’ll try to share what I’ve got while I’m reading the journal and magazines.


          Vitamin E is one of the essential vitamins needed by the body to help keep the immune system strong against viruses and bacteria. Because, nowadays lot of emerging disease in our environment.

          It has many antioxidant properties. Its protective effect involves the inhibition of lipid per oxidation in tissues, and cells. Vitamin E helps to rid the body of excessive free radicals and protects us from cardiovascular diseases, skin disorders and other degenerative illnesses.

           In order to fully comprehend the benefits that this vitamin has to offer for us, let us understand its biological structure first. Vitamin E is not a single nutrient but refers to an entire family or eight fat-soluble compounds. There are two main groups of vitamin E, namely TOCOPHEROLS and TECOTRIENOLS, which each serve a unique purpose. Tocopherols and tocotrienols are further divided into 4 different types – ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA and DELTA. Most of the available vitamin E supplements contain either only mixed tocopherols or alpha, beta, delta and gamma tocopherols. These four tocopherols represent only half of the vitamin E family.

          While most vitamin E sold in the market are tocopherols, less is known about their sibling, the tocotrienols. This is largely because it exists in smaller quantities in plants. Tocotrienols, found abundantly in palm fruit, which is available in abundance in Malaysia, is the richest source of tocotrienols in the world.

           Tocotrienols are structurally different from tocopherol, with their unsaturated side chains, thus the difference in their FLUIDITY and biological functions. It is this variation in their molecular structure that enables tocotrienols to provide unique health benefits unshared by tocopherols.

           In recent years, due to very encouraging clinical studies, more and more research is being done on the benefits of tocotrienols. And because of this, tocotrienols are being extracted from palm oil throughout the world, both for research and daily consumption. Some clinical studies have claimed that there are benefits in the likes of:

• Minimizing free radical damage-

• Healthy heart functions and circulatory system-

• Chemo-protection-

• Adjuvant therapy in the treatment process increases the efficiency of tamoxifen in breast cancer management.

The safety profile of tocotrienols is excellent and they are suitable for long term consumption. Daily intake of tocotrienols is thus tremendously beneficial in the reduction of oxidative damage and maintenance of healthy heart functions.





That’s all….enjoying my writing…..

ATTEMPTED CAR JACKING/ROBBERY AT IKEA (IKANO)/MCDONALD&SS TRAFFIC LIGHTS

Dear family and friends

Just want you to know that I just had a harrowing experience two hours ago (my hands are still trembling while typing this),

At about 410pm today, on the way back from Ikea, while waiting at the traffic lights at Ikea(Ikano)/McDonald's side, I heard a loud thud from behind my car.  I looked at my side mirror and saw an Indian man trying to getup from a fallen bike.  I assumed  he must have fallen from the bike.  Then almost immediately, he got up, holding something in his hand and started hammering away at side window of a car (which was 2 cars behind mine.)!

I then realised it wasn't an accident but was actually an attempted carjacking/robbery.  By now, I looked at the rear view mirror and saw 2 other motorcyclists on another bike beside the passenger side.  I guess the passenger must have been too shocked to do anything.  I couldn't see the driver - he/she must have been hurt/or was crouching away from broken glasses due to the smashing of the window.  This was when I started to press my car horn as hard as I could (people around me must have thought I was nuts or something, blaring away at traffic lights - which was still red).

As soon as I started horning, the other cars around must have noticed what was happening and they started horning as well.  I guess all the horning got the attention of the nearby workers and patrons of McDonald's because almost immediately a large group of people started shouting and rushing towards the robbers.  The four Indian guys must have panicked because I saw them getting onto the bikes and riding away, heading towards the main road in front of Ikea!  As they rode away, I continued blaring my horn!

I did not get down from my car to check on the victim as my daughter was with me and both of us were also shocked from the experience.  As soon as the traffic lights turned green, we drove away. But the earlier group of people approached the victims to check on them.

Whilst I do not wish any of this to happen to anyone, I was very thankful that they did not strike my car.  Imagine I was just 2 cars in front of the victim's.  I shudder to think what might have happened!!!

From what I gathered, these hooligans must have been targeting cars which are waiting at traffic lights, and while the traffic lights changed red, they started to stage an accident to distract drivers etc. , and then rob the unsuspecting victims.  It was such a well 'choreograph' move.  And they were so merciless!!
So, a word of advice to all drivers/passengers.

Be wary at traffic lights, even during broad daylight.  DO NOT BE TOO ENGROSSED WITH YOUR HANDPHONES - almost all drivers tend to fidget with their hps at traffic lights.  Instead, be aware of your surroundings - in this case, look out any suspicious looking motorcyclists or any minor accidents beside/behind your vehicle.


Still shaken,
Lynn

HSE ALERT FOR CAR RIDERS

HSE ALERT FOR CAR RIDERS

Now this is very interesting! My car's manual says to roll down the windows to let out all the hot air before turning on the A/C. WHY?



No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before. We wonder where this stuff comes from but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer causing incidents.

Many people are in their cars the first thing in the morning; and the last thing at night, 7 days a week. As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and ill. Please pass this on to as many people as possible. Guess

it’s not too late to make some changes. Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!

Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car



Open the windows after you enter your car, and then turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes



Here's why: According to research, the car's dashboard, seats, a/c ducts in fact ALL of the plastic objects in your vehicle, emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin;A BIGCARCINOGEN. Take the time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car, when you open it, and BEFORE you start it up.



In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia and increases the risk of some cancers. It can also cause miscarriages in pregnant females.



Acceptable Benzene level indoors is: 50mg per sq.ft.



A car parked indoors, with windows closed, will contain 400‐800 mg of Benzene.



If parked outdoors, under the sun, at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up


to 2000‐4000 mg, 40 times theacceptable level.



People, who get into the car, keeping the windows closed, will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the BENZENE toxin.



Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidneys and liver. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff from your body.



So friends, please open the windows and door of your car ‐ give it some time for the interior to air out

(dispel the deadly stuff) ‐ before you enter the vehicle.



Thought: 'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.'

Read this...this is a true story..

~Attempted Rape and Kidnap Case at the Curve~




Written by the victim:

As I sit here writing this, I am just so grateful to be alive.



To think that 30 hours ago I had a knife to my throat, face to face with the threat of being kidnapped and raped.



It was a Sunday, at 5.22PM. I was alone, walking towards my boyfriend's car in level B2 of The Curve, Mutiara Damansara. He was not in town, and I was running errands with his car. Just as I was putting my shopping bags in the rear seat, the rear car door was slammed against my back, and a meat cleaver was pressed against my throat. A man covered my mouth with his hand, and whispered not to scream. He then shoved me onto the floor of the backseat of the car and waved the cleaver at me, reminding me not to scream. He was skinny, wearing a baggy turqoise blue t-shirt, had a thick moustache and short curly hair, approx 5'8", mid-30s, and of Indian descent.



At this moment, second man appeared. He was also in his mid-30s. He was wearing a red t-shirt, had a crewcut, and was of Malay descent. He grabbed my car keys and demanded for my parking ticket. I couldn't remember where it was. They shoved me deeper into the car, and the Indian man got into the back seat with me, while the Malay man got into the driver's seat, driving us out of the carpark.



I told them they could take everything, just let me go. But at that point they didn't even ask for money. Instead, the Indian man started to make sexual advances. Then it hit me. "Oh my God. Oh my God. This is really happening. I'm being kidnapped.. and I think I know what they want."



//



From this moment on, there were a few crucial things that happened that I think is the reason I'm alive today.



1. I managed to get into a position to escape.

When they got into the car, the Indian man had tried to force my body down onto the floor. I knew that the moment I'm on the floor, there would be no chance of escape. So I begged him to let me sit up. I promised him I wouldn't scream or alert anyone's attention. Thankfully, he trusted me, and let me sit up, gripping my arm tightly. Then I told him my arm really hurt and to please not grip it so hard. He loosened his grip.



2. I did not fight for the sake of fighting.

I was in an enclosed space, with no clear escape route. I would never win in a fight with these 2 guys, especially when they have sharp weapons. Had I fought from the get go, I may not have been in a position to escape. I might've even been knocked out cold, and God only knows where I would be right now.



3. I was lucky and sneaky.

I knew that the only way to escape, was to jump out of the car, even if it was moving. They had locked the car doors. So I leaned back, pretended to scratch my hair, and shakily unlocked the door I was leaning against. I'm so lucky they did not see or hear this!



4. I went 'crazy' at the right time.

And then I waited. I knew that the car would have to slow down outside the parking lot, as it exits to merge with the main roads. The moment it slowed down, I opened the car door and tried to make a run for it. I failed. I kicked my legs out of the car, but the Indian man had managed to pull my body back in. From this moment on, everything is a blur. I remember the Malay driver temporarily stopping the car, leaning over from the driver's seat and attempting to close the door and pull my legs in. At that point I remember thinking, "Even if I don't get out now, I need to keep the door open and my legs out the door. At the very least, it should cause a scene, and someone would see me. Or, the door might hit another car and they'll be forced to slow down." So I continued kicking. My right foot pushed against the wide-open car door to keep it open. I recall elbowing, struggling, kicking, and even biting. I lost my glasses, and was struggling blindly for my life. At some point the Malay driver yelled, "BAGI DIA LEPAS! BAGI DIA LEPAS!" (Let her go! Let her go!) and the Indian man loosened his grip. I made a jump out of the still-moving car, and ran for my life.



5. I acted in spite of the fear.

My friends said I was brave. But I didn't feel like it. I was quivering and shaking in fear. I was so afraid. I thought I was going to die. I was weak with fear and deathly afraid. I truly thought "this was it". But I knew I HAD to move. I had to run. Or there would be a worser fate in store for me. While I was quaking in fear, I forced myself to look around and see if there was any way I could escape, or even catch someone's eye.



6. I remembered the people I love.

The only thing that matters when you're faced with potentially horrendous fate, is the people in your life. When I felt the knife to my neck, the first thing I thought was , "This cannot be happening. I must be dreaming." The second? The people that truly matter to me flashed across my mind. It sounds cliche, but it's true. I thought of my parents. My brother. Khailee. Esther. More people. That's all I could think of for a few moments, before I thought, "Shit. I need to get out of here."



//



I ran towards the Maybank outlet at the Curve. There were plenty of people milling around. I screamed for help over and over again. I was hysterical. I grabbed an older Malay man by his shoulders and begged for help before practically collapsing at his feet.



I will always remember the relief and liberation I felt, running over Mutiara Damansara's manicured grass and into the crowd.



//



Today, I found out that the entire ordeal from the moment I left the parking ticket payment machine, to my escape, happened in about 4 minutes. To me, it felt like one long nightmare.



We never think its going to happen to us... and then it does. I used to think that this is something that happens only in the papers and to people far, far removed from me. But then it did happen to me. I moved to PJ/KL 6 years ago, and I've spent countless mornings, afternoons and nights at The Curve. When my friends and I were organizing Rock Up! back in 2008, we were walking around the place at 4AM even. It's been 6 years, and never once did I feel that I was unsafe at The Curve. Until yesterday.



I feel like moving out of the country ASAP. Getting the hell out of this state where you hear of a kidnapping or attempted one every month (remember Nayati?), or a snatch theft every week. And yet I'm fully aware of the fact that in another country with more lax firearm laws, they would've been holding a gun to my head, not a cleaver. And that would've been so, so much worse.



I'm Blessed. By God's grace, I am alive and relatively well. And I will live another day to build another cat iPhone app. It just was not my time to go. And for that, I thank God.

I want to share this story with everyone because cops tell me that they rarely get to hear it from someone who escapes.



Girls, be so very careful. Be vigilant, and please try not to go anywhere alone. If you need to walk to the carpark, and you're alone, get a guard to go with you. I was recently told that it's part of their job description to assist anyone if needed.



Guys, watch out for your girlfriends, wives, mothers, sisters and friends. Walk with them, don't take their paranoia or fear lightly. Watch out for them.



And everyone, just watch out for each other. Take care of each other. These things really DO happen. As I ran out of the car, so many people came to help me. Strangers who didn't know who I was, came forward and offered me tissue paper, water, cellphones, and general comfort.



Malaysians, please care for one another. You already do. Just keep on caring. Keep watching out for each other. Don't worry about being thought of as "busy body" or "overreacting". The world can be a cruel place, but all it takes is for people to care for one another to make all the difference.
