*************
I was on the short flight MH0751 from Ho Chi Minh City flying back to KL on 15/8/18, a working trip with my four business partners.
After putting in my laptop bag in my designated overhead cabin, I settled in my seat on the 2nd row, minding my own business. One of my partners who sat behind me noticed a fellow passenger taking my bag which he brought to his seat on the 4th row. My partner alerted me to check on my bag and true enough it was gone.
I went to the man’s seat and caught him off guard going through my bag and his left hand holding some of my foreign notes currency (EURO and USD, which I am 100% sure are mine), looking like he was about to keep them in his pocket. I confronted him with the rest of my partners surrounding us. I did a thorough checking of my bag, because MY BIGGEST CONCERNS were my travelling documents (passport etc.) and whether he had implanted any illegal items, in an attempt to use me as his transporter (read: drug mule syndicate).
We then alerted the stewardess who was quick to take the necessary actions. Fortunately the man didn’t become aggressive and this all happened before take off (during the busy period of passengers boarding the flight). Security and police were called in, report was made, the pilot and crews declared the flight was not safe to take off until the man is taken off the flight.
He was then forced to depart off. Apparently, the crew informed us, there is a syndicate that has been conducting this modus operandi on China, Hong Kong and Vietnam flights. That guy was from Hong Kong and he is flying to KL with no return ticket, probably his route depends on his “loot”.
It was quite dramatic as so many things could have happened and gone wrong. Yet, the cabin crew handled it professionally, even though it was her first time experiencing it first hand (cabin crew are well aware of this type of crime). My biggest gratitude and respect to the Lead Stewardess, Ms Mazlinda of Malaysia Airlines for her unwavering calmness and diligent work in ensuring the man being handled accordingly. To the extent she offered herself to remain in Vietnam to make the police report on behalf of me. Luckily, all paperwork matters can be done in-flight and Alhamdulillah we took off safely after an hour delay. The crew managed to calm the other passengers well despite suspecting some of the other syndicate team-members are still there hiding in between them.
This syndicate is quite bold because once in-flight, there is no cctv footage as proof, and the conflict of which laws of the land should be applied as they’re considered to be in international zone. I might be wrong on this as I myself am unsure what actions have been taken to-date. Oh, the syndicate will even play language barrier act to get away with this.
So everyone, please be careful of your belongings, and use extra safety tool i.e. bag lock, and do travel in groups when possible. Criminals are indeed everywhere even on air and they sure can afford business class!
Recently, A viral screenshot of an Indian national posting a photo Singapore’s flag getting ripped open and revealing the Indian flag has reached the ears of the police. The police are currently investigating the person that posted it.

The Indian national that posted that photo is a permanent resident in Singapore goes by the name of Avijit Das Patnaik.
Both his Facebook & Linkedin profile have been taken down.

There is a chance that he might lose his job at the bank
My brother (not normal kid) got lost on his way home from school, but lucky enough I have a tracker so I can track him. So, I booked grab and this driver appeared. As we were about to reach, my brother starts to move and the driver offer his help by searching together for my little brother without any additional charges.
Kudos to you sir! Thank you for the generous help. It’s very rare nowadays to find someone to offer this kind of help. You have a really BIG heart. Not everyone have a BIG heart. May your life be wealthy and happy always! Thanks again!
~ please help me viral this story. This man deserve everything from the community.
~ grab company please take note of this driver. Superb customer service. Well done!
Meet little Zula, a 2.5 months old girl we picked up when we were at Lim Chu Kang.
She was tied to a small trolley, unable to move due to a short lead and when we asked why wasn’t she allowed to roam, the person who found her said its for his kids to play with. Imagine the rage 😡
We told him that we will remove Zula and rehome her to a good family and if they were to find anymore puppies, to contact us so that we will take over the rehoming.
Puppies are not toys and it’s unbelievable that there are people who still get puppies as toys for their kids.
She was scared stiff when we first saw her, but after being placed in a foster home where she gets to socialize with other dogs, Zula has warmed up to humans and is having loads of fun!
She is tad shy with strangers but otherwise very affectionate once she warms up to you. All she needs is patience and time.
She’s grass trained, and likes being in a crate.
With a suitable home, Zula will be the active little puppy that will flourish into a beautiful and confident dog.
She is certified clear by the vet, is vaccinated and microchipped. Zula is not HDB approved.
If you’re looking at adopting a Singapore Special, please consider Zula.
I am usually not the type of person to be so petty and do these things.
But today, you’ve gotten me on not exactly my best mood.
I never thought I’d meet one of these idiots, and I always swore I’d drive right up and wait.
You don’t reserve the rights to the parking space just because you stand there.
If you can wait, I can wait. I got time. I got all the time in the world.
People often go “just run them over, it’s a road. Pedestrians aren’t allowed.”
I get it, and I would love to but that would more likely than not land me in legal trouble that I don’t need.
I’ve always said this and I’ll say it again.
It’s a carpark. Not a humanpark. Move, or wait. You like waiting that much? Let’s play chicken, then. You’re the one holding up the line, not me.
Oh and if the swipe at language was all that you could muster, that’s absolutely as pathetic as your attitude.
If you place that much pride upon the language, that must be why your attitude is as shit as the mainland. That’s where you belong. 😉
Always be careful when taking the lift, avoid being alone especially at night for the elderly, try not to wear so much gold that can attract the bad people.
