Marketeer fights off abductors

PETALING JAYA: An Internet marketeer had a close shave with a couple of would-be rapists when she was abducted from the car park of The Curve shopping mall here.

However, the feisty Chin Xin-Ci put up a fight and jumped out of the moving car just as it was exiting the car park.

Recounting the harrowing experience on her Facebook account, she wrote that she was loading her shopping bags onto the backseat of her boyfriend’s car when the incident took place at about 5.20pm on Sunday.

She was on her own that day.

“Suddenly, the rear car door was slammed against my back and a meat cleaver was pressed against my throat,” she wrote.

“A man covered my mouth with his hand and whispered to me not to scream. He then shoved me onto the floor of the backseat and waved the cleaver at me, ordering me not to scream.”

According to her posting, which has gone viral on Twitter and Facebook, a second man appeared and took her car keys while demanding for the parking ticket.

“I told them they could take everything, just to let me go. But at that point they didn’t even ask for money. Instead, one of the men 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’,” she wrote.

Waiting for a chance to make her escape, she said she was aware that the car would slow down as it moved out from the car park.

She managed to open the door but one of the suspects pulled her back in.

However, she put up a fight with the two suspects before making a run for it.

The ordeal – from the moment she left the parking ticket payment machine to her escape – took just about four minutes “but it felt like a long nightmare”, she wrote.

She also tweeted that she was fortunate to just have some scratches and bruises although she lost almost all her belongings, including her cellphone.

Meanwhile, The Curve centre manager Jazmi Kamarudin said they would cooperate with the police as well as offer support to Chin.

“We have also provided our CCTV footage to assist the police with their investigation.

“As this is an ongoing investigation, we are unable to share any details.

“We sincerely regret that this incident took place despite our numerous safety efforts,” Jazmi said in a statement yesterday.

Police confirmed that a report had been lodged and that the case had been classified as robbery.

Other Twitter users also expressed their concern about the incident.

不知道大家还记得9年前发生的王麗涓不幸在购物中心停车场被掳拐及姦殺的案件?

告诉大家类似这样的案件也差点发生在珍珠白沙罗The Curve购物广场的停车场里幸好是这名女子机警成功地逃过了这一劫,不妨参考一下他是怎样逃过这一劫的。

上个星期日,这名叫陈欣慈的华裔女子在购物广场的停车场不幸遭到两名匪徒掳拐上车,庆幸的是她很勇敢的挣扎,然后跳车逃生,才逃过被绑架,甚至有可能被强暴的命运。陈欣慈在事发的30小时之后,在本身的面子书上载一篇以英文撰写的文章,完完全全的叙述当下惊险的逃生过程。

她说,“正如我坐在这里写这篇文章,我很感恩自己仍然活着。回想30小时前,我被一把刀架在喉咙,面对着被绑架和强奸的威胁。” 接着她的文章就写着,上星期日下午5时22分,她独自驾男朋友的汽车去The Curve购物广场购物后,她自己就走到B2地层停车场取车。

当她把购物袋放进后车座时,突然后车门被人猛力一推,她被推倒在后座地板上。接着一把切肉刀就架在她喉咙。同时,那名男子还用手捂住她的嘴巴,低声地警告她千万不要尖叫。陈欣慈描述当时是一名印裔男子用刀子架在她的喉咙。之后,就出现另一名巫裔男子迅速抢过她的车匙后,然后两人合力把他抢掳上车。

匪徒把她掳进车子后,就驾车离开停车场。陈欣慈尝试和匪徒谈判,她告诉那两名匪徒说,“只要你们肯放我走,你们可以把全部东西拿走。”可是那两名匪徒并没有答应,反而那名印裔匪徒还开始对她性骚扰。

这时,陈欣慈觉得匪徒不但想要劫财,还想劫色。尽管处境危险,陈欣慈还是保持冷静,想尽一切的方法逃脱匪徒的魔掌。陈欣慈在车上趁匪徒不注意时,用右脚推开车门,并大力挣扎,甚至咬对方,匪徒担心引起外人注意,便让她跳车逃生。

陈欣慈列出了逃出魔掌的6大要素,好让其他女子可以参考。第一:保持冷静,尽量和匪徒谈判,以让自己处在最佳的逃生位置和状态。第二:不要反抗拥有刀械的匪徒,以避免激怒匪徒.第三:等到对的时机,马上逃走。第四:尽量克服害怕,才能保持冷静和头脑清醒。第五:想起最爱的人,才能有坚强的意志逃生。

陈欣慈也说,“我们从来不认为这种事会发生在我们身上,又或者认为这种事只发生在报纸和远方的人身上,所以想要呼吁其他女子要提高警惕,不要独自走到停车场。” 她同时也提醒男士们,看好自己的女朋友、妻子、母亲、姐妹和朋友,陪同她们一起走,不要轻视她们的恐惧。

现在的匪徒越来越猖狂,在人潮多的购物广场和光天化日下常会发生这类的抢劫事件。姐姐妹妹们真的要非常的小心和提高警惕。警方已经以援引刑事法典第395/397有关结伙持械抢劫条文调查这起案件。

9年前王丽涓在购物中心停车场被掳拐及奸杀案,前天险些又重演!

一名二十余岁的华裔女郎,前天下午在八打灵The Curve购物广场取车时,遭两名壮汉推入车内强行载走,在惊险时刻她设法让头脑保持冷静,最终成功打开车门,找到逃生路。

虽然事发过程只有短短的4分钟,但对她来说像是一夜长的梦魇,她非常感恩自己安全脱身。

这名从事资讯科技工作的女郎Xin-Ci今日凌晨12时许把自己的恐怖经历以英文完完整整地贴到面子书上,目的是希望所有人特别是女性时时刻刻提高警惕,注意安全。

这片名为《30个小时前,我从掳绑中逃脱(30 hours ago, I escaped frombeing kidnapped)》文章,随即在面子书上疯传,短短16小时内已累积近600个留言丶1万1000个人气及2万人转载,引起轰动。

文章内容说,事情发生在周日下午5点22分,她独自来到广场地下二楼停车场取车,当她把购物袋放入後座时,随即有一名印裔匪徒用切肉刀架在她的脖子上,另一手掩住她口部,警告她别喊叫。

不久后,再出现一名身穿红色t恤的平头发型巫裔男子,对方抢过她的车匙并向她索取泊车卡。当时她一片混乱记不得放在哪里,而对方坐到司机座开车往停车场出口而去,而之前的印裔匪徒则进入後座,将她猛按在脚垫处,企图不让其他人看见。

“我告诉他们可拿走任何东西,只要放我走就好,但对方并没表明要钱,而印裔匪徒开始非礼我,我脑中一味想‘天啊,完了,事情真的在发生,我被绑架了……我知道他们想怎样!”

为了让自己不一直被按在脚垫处,她说服匪徒让她坐起来,同时答应会遵从指示,不反抗也不喊叫。这时,匪徒也竟然答应她,放开她的手。

这时候,轿车在离开停车场,由于转入大路之前必须放缓车速,于是她靠在椅背上,假装拨头发并趁机偷偷打开车锁。

然后,她迅速打开车门逃出车外,孰料她只来得及踏出车外,就被印裔绑匪拉着身体,想要将她扯回车内。巫裔绑匪见状,即从前座伸过手来,想要将她的腿拉进车内并关上车门。

受害者不甘错失逃脱的机会,於是奋力挣扎,手脚并用地反抗并动口咬绑匪。巫裔绑匪眼见事迹败露,大叫:「让她走丶让她走!」於是,印裔男子即松手,她立刻跳出车外逃跑。

她往人群方向跑去,歇斯底里地大声求救,并拉着一名年迈巫裔男子,抓着其肩膀,向他求救后不支倒在其脚下。之后,曾氏被送往医院进行检查及X光检验,报告表示她伤势无大碍。

昨天,她已前往向警方报案。据悉,由於受害者在报案时,只是简单地提及她如何被掳及逃脱,因此警方目前援引刑事法典第395/397结伙持械抢劫调查调查此案。

另外,受害者的男友黄凯利(译音)知悉女友险些被掳走及强奸后,立即在推特上发布其黑色Gen2轿车的车牌号码(WNC 8878),寻求全民力量缉匪。

他也与警方重回案发现场,不过在附近绕圈后,始终不见其轿车踪迹。接着,他在一名朋友告知下,知道其轿车曾出现在蕉赖美嘉8路,于是他立即与警方赶往现场,不过轿车已消失无踪。

30 hours ago, I Escaped From Being Kidnapped

30 hours ago, I Escaped From Being Kidnapped

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.
