Whatever happened, JUST STAY IN YOUR CAR!

I was blog-walking to Irin Putri's blog yesterday. Upon reading her latest entry Just Stay In Your Car!; I feel the urge of sharing this story with all of you out there especially ladies in Malaysia. Please take some time to read this entry and feel free to share it with your friends.

Just Stay In Your Car! by IRIN PUTRI (TV Host: WHI and Bersamamu TV3)

I was at the sound dub studio last week to do voice over for Bersamamu when our audio editor, Vijay, shared a freaky incident that happened to him that afternoon.

Vijay is a very tall and fit guy with a goatee. One look at him, no one would wanna mess with him. Apparently that isn't necessarily the case.

He was driving and stopped at the red light at the Bangsar slope. An Indian guy on a motorbike knocked on his window. He was about equal size and built as Vijay, dress like a foreman with grease all over his clothes.

He said in Tamil,"there's smoke coming out from your tyre".

Being tall, Vijay just peeked through his window and true enough there was smoke. But he also noticed the guy had an eye-mo sized bottle hidden in his hand and was squirting some kind of liquid to his tyre.

Realizing something fishy was gong on, he didn't get out of the car and told the man that he will look into it.

The man was trying to be helpful by saying,"I think your breaks are leaking. Do you have a jack? I can take a look."

Vijay said,"what's that in your hand?"

That was enough to make him flee and beat 3 red lights ahead!

Upon further inspection, he found out the guy squirted black oil to his breaks. When oil hits hot surface it will naturally produce smoke.

So I wonder, if people can attempt a scam on someone like Vijay, what about us girls? I believe some would panic at the sight of smoke and welcome any kind of helping hand. And then who knows what would happen?

Be extra cautious on the road, people. Always keep the doors locked and never get out of the car when a stranger approaches you even when there you experience technical problem. Wait for help to arrive or if possible, drive to a safer place.

That was pretty scary rite?.

Then, there's a comment from someone name Puteri who has telling almost the same story; about her friend who has been robbed in Federal Highway.

My advice is no matter what happened to your car, be it smoke coming out from the back of your car, punctured tyre, bumping incident or whatever; just stay in your car and lock your car.

It is best to just drive your car to the nearest police station before you go out and check on your car especially when you are driving alone.

If the person who knocked your car run away, than be it. The scratch on your car can always be fix, but your safety is the most important thing to consider first.

Please remember to take note or jot down the registration no of the car/motorcycle that hits you so that if anything bad happens, at least you can provide some crucial information to the police officer.

If you have to travel alone, make sure that you are extra cautious about the things and people that are going on around you. Jangan asyik sangat duk menyanyi dan berkaraoke sorang-sorang dalam kereta sambil memandu sampai tak sedar yang kita sedang di ekori oleh penjenayah.


Most important thing is, don't forget to recite doa to ask for Allah's help to protect you from any harm and danger. Take care people.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الذي لَا يَضُرُّ مع اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ في الأرض ولا في السَّمَاءِ وهو السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

Ertinya : "Dengan nama Allah yang tiada dimudaratkan sesuatu apapun dengan namaNya samada di bumi dan di langit, dan Dialah maha mendengar dan maha mengetahui"

Baca sebanyak 3 kali, maka ia tidak ditimpa kesusahan bala dan musibah sehinggalah subuh esoknya, dan barangsiapa membacanya ketika subuh 3 kali, ia tidak ditimpa kesusahan bala dan musibah sehingga petangnya" ( Riwayat Abu Daud, 4/323 ; At-Tirmidizi, 5/465 dan Ahmad ; Tirmizi : Hasan - Teks doa berwarna Merah Syeikh Syuaib ; Hasan)- sumber: sini

Maksud : Aku berlindung dengan wajah Allah yang Maha Mulia dan dengan Kalimat-Kalimat Allah yang Sempurna yang tidak ada “melampauinya” segala kebaikan mahupun keburukan dari kejahatan apa yang masuk ke dalam bumi dan apa yang keluar darinya dan dari kejahatan apa yang turun dari langit dan apa yang naik kepadanya. Dan dari kejahatan fitnah di malam dan siang hari dan dari kejahatan jalan-jalan dimalam dan siang hari, kecuali suatu jalan yang dilalui dengan kebaikan, wahai yang Maha Penyayang.

(Ta’awudz (doa perlindungan) diatas diajarkan oleh Malaikat Jibril a.s kepada Rasulullah SAW ketika malam Isra’ dan Mikraj. Ketika itu Nabi SAW dihadang oleh jin ifrit yang diutus oleh iblis yang membawa obor untuk membakar Nabi Muhammad SAW. Lalu Rasulullah membaca doa perlindungan tersebut sehingga ifrit tersebut kalah menyingkir (H.R Iman Al-Bukhari) - di petik dari Islam2U.

Pssssttt: kawan-kawan dan family ku sekalian, please please please be extra careful ye. ~
