Home Safety |
| |
If you were locked out of your house, would you still be able to get in? Maybe you keep an unlocked window in the back, or a hidden key in your mailbox or on top of a window ledge? You may think this is a good idea, but guess what? If you can get in, so can the burglar!
Checks the locks
Did you know that in almost half of all completed residential burglaries, the thief simply entered through an unlocked door or crawled through an unlocked window?
Make sure every external door has a sturdy, well-installed deadbolt lock. Key-in-the-knob locks alone are not enough.
Checks the Doors
| i) |
All outside doors should be metal or solid wood and at least 45mm (1¾ “) thick. It should not have a window set into it as a thief can break the window, reach in, and unlock it from the inside. |
| ii) |
Install a peephole or wide angle viewer in all entry doors so you can see who is outside without opening the door. Remember, if in doubt, keep them out. Door chains are false security . They break easily and don't keep out intruders. |
| iii) |
Replace the screws that hold the door hinges on with ones that are at least 5cm (2”) long . |
Checks the Outsides
Look at your house from the outside as a burglar would. Consider the following tips :-
| • |
Thieves hate bright lights. Install outside lights and keep them on at night.Keep your yard clean. Prune back shrubbery so it doesn't hide doors or windows. |
| • |
Lock ladders and garden tools away in a garden shed which is secured by a padlock so they can't be used to gain access to unsecured second story windows. |
| • |
Consider posting a “ Beware of Dog ” sign, even if you don't have a dog. Thieves don't like dogs because they bark, and because they can bite. The thief doesn't know you don't have a dog. |
| • |
If you travel, create the illusion that you're at home by getting some timers that will turn lights on and off in different areas of your house throughout the evening. Lights burning 24 hours a day signal an empty house. |
|
| |
Child Safety |
| |
To reduce children's chances of becoming victims, the following objectives should be stressed :-
| • |
Reassurance: Inform children that they can be safer if they from good habits and follow some simple rules. One good rule for children to remember is: never go anywhere with anyone without their parent's permission. |
| • |
Openness: Encourage your children to confide in you, even if the subject feels uncomfortable to them. |
| • |
Strangers: Teach children the difference between good strangers and bad strangers. |
| • |
Secrets: Discourage children from keeping bad secrets. Bad secrets include an adult telling a child not to tell that he offered candy to go in his car, or that he touched a child in a private place. A good secret is keeping family passwords confidential. |
| |
|
Teach Your Children:
The definition of an emergency and when to contact police, fire or paramedics. |
• |
Their full name, address and telephone number, including area code. |
• |
Parents' full name and work telephone number. |
• |
How and when to use 999, or 0, and how to use a public telephone. Practice on a toy or make-believe telephone. |
• |
How to use the telephone to call home. |
• |
Encourage kids to be alert in the neighborhood, and to tell a trusted adult-you, a teacher, a neighbor, a police officer-about anything that doesn't seem quite right. |
• |
Who to ask for help if you are not around or they get lost. |
• |
That anyone they don't know is a stranger. |
• |
To stay away from cars occupied by strangers and to never accept rides. |
|

Selecting your security products |
| |
Before investing in a burglar alarm system, look for a reputable company. Alarms can very simple, inexpensive mechanism to highly sophisticated detection devices. They can be audible or silent. Burglar alarms are no longer an expensive item like they once were. Effective alarm monitoring can protect you and your family for as little as RM50 a month.
Alarm System Components
Door and Window Sensors:
These are magnetically activated sensors that automatically sound the alarm and optionally call the monitoring service when an intruder opens an accessible window or doors.
Glass Breakage Sensors :
These are sound sensors that are activated by the unique sound of breaking glass.
Alarms and Sirens :
Burglars don't like noise. A well placed and loud siren will help get the intruder out of you home or business as soon as possible. And it will alert your neighbors.
Panic Buttons :
When pressed manually they activate a call to a monitoring service for help in an emergency, whether for fire, ambulance or police assistance. They can be installed permanently in your choice of locations, or even worn as a pendant.
24-Hour Monitoring and Rapid Response :
In the event of an alarm, the monitoring service will automatically call your home or business. If no one answers, or the wrong password is given, the police dispatch department will be contacted immediately.
DOOR SECURITY
Deadbolt Door Locks are the most effective type of conventional lock. An excellent crime fighting device. Homes and businesses equipped with deadbolt locks have a much smaller chance of being burglarized than homes without them.
Deadlocking Latches are suitable for above-ground-floor units where the only means of exit in the event of fire is the main exit door. A key is still necessary to open the door from the outside. From the inside, however, the householder can operate the lock to open only with a key, or by manual release.
Security hinges prevent burglars from simply unscrewing the hinges on an external door to gain access to the home. Security hinges can be based on all external doors and windows.
Barrier Bars protect the entire width of the door as they are anchored to the wall on both sides of the doorway. They are an excellent means of protecting external doors against the more determined visitor. |

Bungling burglars rescued by police
ALOR STAR, Apr 5: NST, Wednesday, April 6, 2005 |
| |
Six teenaged burglars ended up being ‘rescued' by police after they were trapped on the roof of a three-storey building here for more than two hours yesterday.
The boys, aged between 12 and 14, had tried to break into a hardware shop at Kompleks Sri Putra Seberang in Jalan Putra at 6pm.
They had come on three bicycles, which they hid in the bushes behind the complex.
However, a shop assistant, on hearing some noises, suspected something amiss and telephoned the police.
On hearing the siren of the approaching police car, the boys panicked and ran up to the rooftop where they were trapped.
A policeman had to use a Fire and Rescue Services Department ladder to get to the roof and persuade the boys to surrender.
At 9pm, the boys finally climbed down the ladder, one by one.
Kota Star District Police chief Assistant Commissioner Hussain Bapoo said: "We are considering whether or not to press charges as the owner said nothing was stolen from his shop.

Policeman foils post office grab
NST, KUALA LUMPUR, Apr 1, 2005 |
| |
Quick thinking by an auxillary policeman foiled an attempted robbery at the Jalan Ipoh branch of Pos Malaysia today.
The policeman in his 40s fired a warning shot which scared away two robbers who were armed with parangs.
Police sources said four men, believed to be in their 20s, arrived at the post office on two motorcycles at about 1.45pm.
Two of them remained outside the post office while the parang-wielding duo, who were wearing crash helmets, rushed in.
They ordered the counter staff to hand over their cash.
On seeing this, the auxillary policeman, who was behind the counters, fired a shot at a glass door.
Startled, the men ran out of the premises empty handed. They also dropped the parangs.
Their accomplices, hearing the shot, fled on one motorcycle, leaving the other machine behind.
The two robbers ran towards a petrol station nearby and escaped on a motorcycle they took from a man who was filling his tank.
There were several customers present during the incident. It is learnt that the post office was robbed of RM60,000 a few months ago. - BH

EDITORIAL: In defence of safe driving
NST, Apr 2 nd 2005 |
| |
ATTACK, it is said, is the best form of defence. Not when it comes to reducing road accidents and saving lives. Watchful prevention works better. Perhaps that is why the Government's latest offensive against offending drivers is to drill defensive driving skills into them.
A retraining programme is being organised for drivers of commercial vehicles, particularly of buses and lorries, for the end of the year. No one wants to malign these drivers, but it is a fact that bus and lorry accidents are rising.
For instance, accidents involving express buses reached an unprecedented average of 406 a month last year. Bus accident figures rose from 1,963 in 2003 to 4,874 last year. There were 53,470 accidents involving lorries last year. According to Road Safety Department Director-General Suret Singh, 67 per cent of these accidents were due to driver error, 28 per cent to bad road conditions and the rest to the poor condition of the vehicles.
Under the proposed plan, drivers of commercial vehicles will undergo a compulsory two-day retraining programme. It is a relief to know that this training will be practical in nature and not confined to classroom theory. Previous initiatives at teaching safe driving didn't go far enough to make sure that the lessons were applied. The plan also calls for those seeking new commercial and heavy vehicle licences to undergo a three-day course on defensive driving.
Will the course produce better lorry and bus drivers? The implementers of the plan would do well to remember that good plans do not automatically transfer into good results. Will and consistency in enforcement are as important as designing an effective strategy. Malaysians are all too familiar with the many past plans to make the roads safer. Most of them crashed along the highways of implementation.
It has to be remembered that not many people love to return to school, unless it is for the class reunion. There is bound to be resistance from the drivers concerned, not just at the man-hours lost in training but at the likely expense involved. Therefore, those conducting the classes should prepare for this.
Perhaps everyone wishing to apply for driving licences - regardless of whether it is for a motorcycle, car, bus or heavy vehicle - should be required to undergo more hours of defensive driving training. Moulding at source is much more effective than trying to untangle years of habit and resistance to change. With some 6,000 Malaysians dying on the roads every year and the country losing about RM6 billion in productivity, medical costs and property damage, this may not be a bad idea.
Without doubt, the foot is on the right pedal. Now it requires careful acceleration and cruise control so that Malaysians need not feel defensive about our offensive attitude on the roads.

Din in jungle gives hijackers away
KUALA KUBU BARU, Apr 2: NST, Apr 2 2005
It was a neat operation by the gang of lorry hijackers, but they should have kept the noise level down. |
| |
The hijackers sold off the cargo the lorries were carrying and cut up the vehicles in the jungle to sell as scrap metal to get rid of the evidence.
But the noise they made when cutting up the vehicles and gang members talking aroused the suspicion of a villager in Kerling who was walking in the jungle.
He informed police that something strange was taking place in the Gading forest reserve.
District CID chief Assistant Superintendent Rashid Abu Bakar and his men went to investigate.
After a 10-hour trek in the jungle, they stumbled on two men using oxy-acetylene torches to cut an eight-wheeled lorry for its steel parts.
The parts, weighing about five tonnes, were to be sold as scrap metal for RM12,000.
Hulu Selangor district police chief Superintendent Frederick Liso Senap said the two men, who were brothers, were detained at 2.30pm last Wednesday.
A lorry used to transport the cannibalised steel, was also seized.
He said the lorry was hijacked by six men at Km15, Jalan Kuala Kubu Baru-Fraser Hill on March 21.
"The robbers, armed with parang, had stopped the lorry by pretending to need help with their lorry which had stalled.
"They tied up the driver and bundled him out of the vehicle before driving off with the consignment of rubber bales worth RM15,000."
Frederick said investigations revealed the two brothers were involved in the hijacking.
He said police have also picked up a scrap metal dealer who had purchased some of the cannibalised parts.
The case has been classified as armed robbery under Section 395 and 397 of the Penal Code.
In another case, police arrested three men for stealing steel rods and fencing in Batang Kali.

Quick cash for fast-food outlet robbers
Azman Ahmad and Muzliza Mustafa
Apr 5: The Malay Mail |

SUBANG JAYA: It was easy pickings for a trio of armed robbers last Sunday morning.
They escaped with RM20,000 from two robberies, committed 15 minutes apart, in Subang Jaya. Both targets were fast-food outlets.
The robbers, believed to be armed with a pistol and wearing full-faced helmets, first struck at an outlet in USJ10 about 8.10am and held up the assistant manager and several staff who were getting ready for work.
As two accomplices stood guard near the counter, one of the robbers forced the assistant manager into the kitchen to open the safe. The robbers fled with RM12,000.
About 15 minutes later, the robbers struck at another fast food outlet in SS19.
Using the same modus operandi, the robbers forced the assistant manager to open the safe. They escaped with RM8,000.
Subang Jaya police chief, Assistant Commissioner Mohd Fuad Talib, said the robberies were probably committed by the same gang.
He advised fast food outlets not to keep large amounts of cash on their premises and to also install close circuit television cameras for added protection.
Last week, a group of robbers using similar tactics, struck at two fast food outlets within 20 minutes and escaped with RM14,000 in Petaling Jaya.
Police believe the two robberies were committed by the same gang and are looking at the possibility that all four robberies were pulled off by the same gang.
In the March 28 incident, the robbers hit a fast food outlet in SS2 and made off with RM3,000 about 8am.
Some 20 minutes later, the gang is believed to have stormed into another outlet in Section 14 and escaped with RM11,000 |

Wireless camera to help combat crime
ELAYNE YIP YEE JET
Apr 3: The Malay Mail |

Police can now spot a crime in progress and take immediate action without waiting for a report to be lodged.
In conjunction with the MCA Anti-Crime Project, a mesh network of Wireless Surveillance Cameras was set up along Jalan Bukit Bintang, Jalan Ampang, Jalan Imbi, Jalan Perak and Jalan Yap Kwan Seng in Kuala Lumpur.
The cameras and the wireless network equipment have been installed on rooftops of buildings to monitor the surrounding areas.
The police can access these cameras from any computer within the local area network and monitor all areas in an on-line, real-time mode.
This wireless network requires no physical cabling to link all the cameras. The cameras are mobile and can be dismantled or relocated within the coverage areas.
Jointly organised by MCA, city police headquarters and P&O Global Technologies Sdn Bhd (POGT), the surveillance camera was launched at Berjaya Times Square in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
“Looking at the serious crime cases recently, these wireless surveillance cameras will be the best way to help the police in combating crime,” said Human Resources Minister Datuk Fong Chan Onn who officiated the ceremony.
Also present at the ceremony were Deputy Home Affairs Minister Datuk Tan Chai Ho, who is also MCA Anti-Crime Project Committee chairman, Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mustafa Abdullah and organising chairman Chew Yin Keen. |
