Fearing for their lives

By James Kon

A small community of the Rumah Kerajaan Apartment Old Airport, Berakas are getting terrified at night.

The softest noise or a dog barking would make the residents jump to check what is going on outside. The residents lamented that they don't even get any rest with such fearful experience.

One of the residents said that two years ago, his house was burglarised when he was not at home and the case was still pending. Last Monday, some thieves were bold enough to steal his possessions again, although this time, he was at home. He has reported the matter to the police but nothing has been done, so he is getting quite frustrated with the authorities for their apparent lack of efficiency.

Another resident has complained that sometime ago, a pervert showed an obscene act to his sister below their apartment while she was drying her clothes. The sister was horrified and ran back inside to tell him about the incident. When he come out to investigate, the perpetrator was gone.

The community needs attention from the police to try and curb the situation. They hope that officers could go on patrol at night to see for themselves such illegal activities. The residents want to feel safe and have peace of mind in their homes.
