Tony Lau, a Facebook user, shares his experience of how he was almost robbed with a knife pointed at him in Malaysia recently.
In case you are unable to view the screenshot above, here’s a summary of what happened, according to Tony’s account:
- Tony was at the Tuas Checkpoint at 4am in the morning
- He stopped at a nearby top-up station to top up his Touch ‘n Go card as it was running out of value
- The moment he stepped out of his car, he saw a guy with a knife waving at him as he said to him “Bro top up ya!”
- At the same time, there was another guy with motorcycle moving towards Tony too
- As the 2 men were approaching Tony, a Singapore car (Toyota Estima) whose driver was a “big size guy”, stopped his car that was fully loaded with passengers nearby
- The 2 men then kept the knife and moved away
- Tony took the opportunity and quickly ran back into his car and drove away
- The 2 men allegedly followed Tony’s car and even waited for him to clear the immigration
- Tony suspected that the 2 men were not eyeing his cash, but his “Lady York” with “high boosted set”
- Upon clearing the immigration and toll, Tony sped all the way to Nusajaya where he made a U-turn and eventually got back to Singapore safely
- Tony concluded his post by warning fellow Singaporeans to remember to lock their car and look around their surroundings before opening the car door and stepping out of the car
- He also urged drivers to always keep a baseball bat or a steering wheel lock at side of driver’s seat

Sia la… those going JB or Msia… if u r driving, remember to lock your car, take a look at the surroundings before opening and stepping out of car… and also have a baseball bat or steering wheel lock “cos its a metal rod like a bat” keep it handy at the driver seat.
Thank God for the safety back ! 🙏🙇♂🙇♂🙇♂🙏”
