S'pore kidnap suspect caught in JB raid
June 19, 2007
A MAN who has been on Singapore's wanted list for 20 years has been caught in Malaysia.
He was detained in Johor Baru last week in connection with the kidnapping of a businessman's son there.
The Star reported that the man, who is in his 40s, and two other male suspects were arrested in a series of raids around Johor.
The raids took place after the 23-year-old victim was released when a ransom of RM600,000 ($267,000) was paid.
The wanted man is allegedly the mastermind behind the kidnapping.
Police also found a gun, bullets and an undisclosed sum of money.
State police chief Deputy Commissioner Datuk Hussin Ismail confirmed the arrest but declined to elaborate.
The kidnapping happened earlier this month when the victim was playing basketball with his friends in TamanMolek, Johor.
As the victim was waiting in his car with his friends, another car crashed into the back of his vehicle.
When the victim came out to inspect the damage, several men held him up at gunpoint before bundling him into his car and driving off.
The suspects then called the victim's family and demanded a RM1 million ransom.
Negotiations went on for about a week before the suspects finally settled for RM600,000.
The money was dropped off at an undisclosed location in Johor Jaya, and the victim was released unharmed along Pantai Lido.
A special CID team later managed to track down the suspects in Tampoi and Permas Jaya.
The man is said to be a hardcore criminal wanted in Singapore for committing several armed robberies.
He was also found to be 'high' on drugs when taken into custody. The trio have been remanded to assist in police investigations.
Police are still on the lookout for the remaining gang members. -

ATTACKED... while petitioning for SAFETY
JB woman had just signed petition to curb violent crime
June 19, 2007
CONCERNED about the spate of rob-and-rape cases in her state, a Johor resident decided to sign a petition asking the police to bring safety back to the streets.
But just minutes later, she was ambushed by two parang-wielding robbers who tried to slash her in the arm. Fortunately, the blade just grazed past her.
Madam Yu, 33, ran screaming for help, and the robbers fled when they saw a man coming to her aid.
The attack occured on Saturday at 5.45pm when Madam Yu was leaving her friend's house, reported Sin Chew Daily.
Ironically, Madam Yu was there to sign a '100,000 signatures for peace' petition, part of a campaign organised by Chinese clans and residents to protest the recent wave of violent crimes in Johor.
As Madam Yu left her friend's house and made her way to her car, two robbers on a motorcycle approached her, waving a parang.
Madam Yu and her friend retreated to the house and tried to close the door, but the robbers drove the motorcycle into the front yard.
One of the robbers jumped off the motorcycle and ran after them with his parang.
Said Madam Yu: 'When the attacker swung the parang down, I ducked and felt it hit my right arm.
'Thankfully, it just brushed past and hit the door frame.'
Her friend's husband heard the two women's screams for help, and ran shouting into the living room.
The New Paper, 16 Jun 2006
Shocked to see a man in the house, the robbers fled the scene.
Both women were unhurt, except a small cut on Madam Yu's leg where she stumbled while rushing back into the house.
She said: 'I was actually going to take my 12-year-old son with me to my friend's house. Thankfully, he did not come along.
She said that the two attackers were dressed in black were in their 20s.
Madam Yu's ordeal comes in the wake of public outrage and anger over wave of the violent crimes in Johor in recent months.
The latest was last Monday's case, where a 19-year-old girl was gang-raped by three knife-wielding robbers after she and her 22-year-old boyfriend were car-jacked in Gelang Petah, near the Second Link.
Yesterday, about 200 irate residents gathered in front of the Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman's house to protest.
BOOED OFF STAGE
Johor Jaya state assemblyman Tan Cher Puk said: 'Since the gang rape, I've been bombarded with calls and SMSes from my constituents who are worried about the increase in violent crime.'
To date, the JBTF's petition collected some 6,000 signatures, while it has gotten some 22,000 signatures online over two days, reported New Straits Times.
During its anti-crime dialogue on Saturday, attended by some 2,500 people, hundreds booed and heckled a police spokesman who had been invited to speak by the JBTF.
DSP Leow Kian Heung, who heads the state crime prevention unit, cut his speech short and left.
On Friday, police arrested 14 suspects believed to have been involved in crime cases, including a 14-year-old girl.
Later that night, Shahabudin Mohamed Ariff, a former member of the Sagol Gang allegedly being behind the gang-rape of the 19-year-old, turned himself in to the police.
The 27-year-old, whose mug shot had been released by the police last week, had reportedly called New Straits Times to claim his innocence before going to the cops. -

However, after a few kilometres, the coupleÂ’s car broke down and they were forced to stop. -

Is taking action. we cannot make others to think like us.
But we can start begin from ourselves... always remember to considerate and lend a helping hand to others in need when some crime occur.
