Have A Great Week Peeps

We’ve heard of pick pockets that occur nearly everyday in the heart of KL, expecially at congested areas like the LRT train stations and so on. There’s this new robbing trend called the Push-Pocket that is going around Kuala Lumpur. This has just surfaced a few days ago, something I received in my email.

Somebody slips a hand-phone into your pocket, sometimes it could be just a wallet with an identity card and a few ringgit. A few minutes later, the ‘owner’ comes up and confronts you, the ‘thief ‘. He makes a big commotion that you stole his stuff.

You, caught unaware, are then pulled aside by the ‘owner’ for a settlement. You are intimidated and threatened that if you do not pay up the police will be brought in. If you pay up, this ‘owner’ lets you go. If not, the police are brought in. Another strange thing is that there always seems to be a ‘witness’ to your ‘theft’.

I am told this often happens to foreigners at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) . Given that you’re ‘guilty until proven innocent’ as far as the Malaysian police are concerned, I understand some poor people are in jail for
these ‘offences’. At the KLIA, the ‘owner’ throws his hand-phone and wallet with the few ringgit notes into the luggage trolley of a just arrived passenger. The drama unfolds a few minutes later. The real culprit has easily convinced our Malaysian police
to arrest the real victim (if he has not paid up the ’settlement’ demand). This is a very serious matter.

This is another form of extortionists operating in broad daylight. They are disgusting criminals who will do anything
to rob and steal. The sickening part of the whole scenario is that unless you pay the ‘quoted settlement’ money,
they will put you in real trouble by calling the police. The real culprit gets back his hand-phone and wallet but the real victim ( i.e. could be any one of us) is thrown into the police lock up and charged in court.

So do be very careful, otherwise you may end up as a ‘thief’ as you have no way to prove your innocence.

This is what I received in my email today. Some cartoons comparing female to male. Do check them out. Some are quite funny, others are just plain silly.

This is what I received in my email a few days ago. A set of beautiful bridges, tagging it as Most Wonderful Bridges. Engineering at it’s best.

This beautiful arched bridge in Lake Austin was build by Miro Rivera Architects and is used to connect the Client’s’ main house to the smaller guest house on the other side of the pond.

The original Kintai Bridge was built in 1673 but collapsed due to flooding. The rebuilt bridge survived for more than 200 years until a typhoon destroyed in 1950. The bridge that stands now over the Nishiki River has five wooden arches displaying an incredible amount of detail and craftmanship. Interesting fact: no nails or bolts have been used to build the arches, only clamps and wires.

This bridge supports two pipelines - one gas, the other oil - across the extremely deep gap in Papua, New Guinea. If this were to be officially recognized as a vehicular or pedestrian bridge, it would Rocket to the top of the ‘world’s highest bridge-span‘ with the pipelines at an impressive height of 1,290 ft above the bottom of the gorge. By comparison, the current highest bridge span
Belongs to the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado, hanging a mere 1,053 ft above ground level.
