Emergency number worldwide for GSM mobile.

Yesterday, a friend sent me the following information which I believe can be useful for everybody, not just for the ladies. After all, the robbers are after just anybody’s money. With unknown dangers lurking at every turn in our lives, it is good to arm ourselves with some knowledge and awareness. Let us be aware of what can happen. Awareness and knowledge, knowing what can happen and how such attacks can come about, help us to react faster and protect ourselves better and what number to call in an emergency. So, please read on.


Ladies especially(Blogger’s note:Not just the ladies.)...please, please read!
It's 112 not 999!

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

She just got out of her car and was in front of her friend's house pressing the door bell when she saw a motorbike with two men coming towards her direction. She thought they were security guards. Then before she realized it, one of the men has already 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 were ready to leave) and tried to slash her again. Luckily she was able to catch his hand and hold on to it to stop the strike. At that time, her friend came out to check what was happening and the men quickly rode away.

The cut was 9 cm long and 1 cm deep. Look at those robbers' tactic! It is to hurt you first before they rob you so that you are handicapped with an injury and cannot resist them. Even later, when there is someone to help, the helper or helpers have to rescue you first instead of chasing them. Please be alert all the time and take every precautionary measure possible.
