Jogger Escapes Daylight Kidnapping Attempt Netizens Question The Safety In Shah Alam

---

WITH the influx of foreign nationals, is Malaysia becoming more and more dangerous to live in?
Perhaps this question is best answered by the photo of a victim who could be seen suffering from knife wounds on his cheeks and hands.
Apparently the boy had just escaped from an attempted kidnapping which involved two men in Section 13, Shah Alam.

More frightening was the fact that it happened in broad daylight while he was jogging. The incident has since made many netizens question the safety of Shah Alam.
“It was fortunate that he could fight back. If it was a girl, I wonder where she would be dragged to,” said @lltelpmpkin.
Another netizen said the police should make more patrols in Shah Alam. “It is time to start thinking twice if we want to go jogging alone,” said @wzrdman8.
One netizen added that day by day, Malaysia is becoming more and more like Brazil and Mexico.
Perhaps the best comment goes to @mdsukie who said, “Good little brother. It is alright to have wounds on your body rather than your body going missing.”

Also, netizen @54R411 raised an alarming question about why Shah Alam is full of kidnapping cases.
According to her, it happens often at Section 12. Even in 2017 to 2018 there was news of kidnapping at section 13.

To this, @pleadyg16 replied that many rich people lived in Shah Alam while @paawwsup32 attributed it to the many foreign nationals there. 
@Muhamma23393053 added that these kidnappers would turn their victims into scammers, ask for ransom or even to harvest their organs to be sold on the black market.

Shah Alam District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim has since said to news portal Kosmo that the victim, who was jogging alone, was approached by a car believed to be a Proton Saga or Iswara.
“One of the suspects then got out of the vehicle, pointed a knife at the victim, and ordered them to get into the car,” he said.
“However, the victim refused and struggled with the suspect before managing to escape to the guardhouse of a nearby condominium to seek help,” Iqbal added. No further updates are available at the time of writing.— Focus Malaysia
