It's 112 not 999!

A young lady was robbed and slashed on the face two days ago in Taman Desa.

She just got off from her car and was in front of her friend's house pressing door bell. She saw a motorbike with two men coming toward her direction but she thought they were security guards. Then before she knew anything, one of the men has slashed her face with a knife and grabbed her bag.

She didn't know it was a cut until she touched her face and found out it was bleeding. She was screaming out of shock. One of the man came back (they were already on the motorbike and ready to leave) and tried to slash her again. Luckily she was able to catch his hand to ward the attack. Her friend came out to check what had happened and the men ran away.

The cut was 9 cm long and 1 cm deep. Now these robbers hurt you first before they rob you so that you are handicapped and can't resist them. Then when someone comes to help, they have to rescue you first instead of chasing after them.

Please be alert at all times and take every precaution possible.
