  1. The tips are really practical and good. The police are to be commended for this proactive move. In fact the video can be useful in any country.

  2. These videos are the first anti-crime videos of its kind to be distributed over the Internet in this country.

    If I’m not mistaken, they were earlier broadcast over terrestrial television.

  3. In Malaysia it’s not so much of kidnapping, though kidnapping is still athreat, especially for the kids. It’s more against the unsuspecting ladies who walk alone, more so in lonely car parks that are underground or poorly lit.

    My company organized a series of seminars on “City Survival for the Ladies”. The speaker is a member of an NGO who is very active in campaigning against crimes involving the females. Tips are given to ladies on when they should be specially alert and what they can do to protect themselves or minimize the dangers they face in each different situation.

    For instance, when a lady enters a lift she should stand at the back of the lift and face the door of the lift. If she allows a man to stand behind her, he could initiate an attack if they are alone and she would face the disadvantage of being surprised.

    She should also remove her lanyard, which can be a liability if she is attacked.

  4. It’s thought that bank robbery gangs in the Philippines turn to kidnapping when the pickings are slim, and vice versa.

    Lanyard? Like the one you hang your ID of handphone with around your neck, Bayi?

  5. That’s right, Paul. The lanyard is used to hang the ID around the neck in many companies. This can prove to be a liability when the lady or even a man is attacked.

  6. I see what you mean; an attacker can pull on it from behind and choke you.
