Last Sunday afternoon, I received a call from a malaysian colleague who say that he wanted to bring me to an exclusive underground club in JB. So i arranged to meet him at City Square in JB at 5.00pm.
When i reach JB City Sq at around 5.15pm, I called my friend and he told me that he will be slightly late. So i decided to go to the macdonalds near to the entrance at city square to wait for him. I ordered a kiddy meal (as i was expecting to have dinner with my colleague later) which come with a free toy. After ordering my food, I found a seat at the corner of macdonalds. It was a corner four seater table next to a wall. So I sat next to the wall and after finishing my food, i took a look at the toy. Then a skinny rugged looking man came over and sit right next to me. The conversation were as follows:
Man : Are you a malaysian?
Me: Why? (Sensing something is strange with this question)
Man : Just answer me.
Me : Pretending to be malaysian. Yes i am malaysian.
Man: So are you from Penang ?
Me: No why?
Man: Doesnt matter where you are from, we are all chinese. Can you 'lend' me $50?
Me: I got no money to lend you.
Man : Dont lie, I can see your wallet in your pockets. (as i always put my wallet in my front pocket whenever i go overseas.)
He then reached to his back pocket and took out a small fruit knife and pointed the knife next to my tummy. Sh|t at that instant i knew it was daylight robbery at macdonalds. I was in shocked and i looked at him again. I was trapped as I am cornered (i am am sitting next to a wall) and the only route to escape is the seat which was occupied by him now.
Man: Dont force me. I am really desparate now Dont force me. I am not asking a lot from you only $50.
Me: $ 50 only?
Man : yes.
Fearing for my own safety, i took out my wallet and gave him $50. However he wasnt pleased with the $50 and asked another $5 ringgit to make a phone call back home from me, I thought to myself, what the f*ck since kena robbed $50 liao what is another $5? So I gave him another $ 5. He took the money happily and 'thanked' me before walking off. I tried to chase him but he quickly walked to the exit next to the macdonalds and make a quick run. I decide not to chase him further when he left city square as i am worried about my own safety and also i was already in a state of shock and do not really know how to react. What pissed me off is at the macdonalds, there was a malay family with kids was sitting next to me and a staff who was cleaning had possibly seen the whole incident and yet nobody is willing to help me. After a short while i called my colleague and told him what happen and cancel our planned trip and headed back to Singapore.I did not make an police report as i think it is too troublesome to do so.
This will be the last time that i will ever go to malaysia alone again. I dont think it is safe even at broad daylight anywhere in JB. On the way back i was really feeling very down as I was looking forward to a great time and instead i had to headed home disappointed with a state of shock and $50 ringgit poorer
