So sometimes I find myself in Singapore and sometimes, my Singaporean partner Ming finds himself in Malaysia on business trips.
Yet, months ago when our leetle dotcom first started Ming constantly expressed how Malaysia was very 'unsafe' and how he was very very afraid to cross the border especially to Johor.
He always mentioned how a lot of his friends going over to Johor have been robbed or had their cars stolen.
And I always told him how ridiculous I thought it was.
Sure... our criminal record isn't anywhere as clean as Singapore's but it's not bad enough to fear coming over to the country.
Yet, this morning I opened the newspapers and read about how two Singaporeans were kidnapped in Johor and held for four days before being released for a ransom of RM2.5 million.
If Ming ever finds out about this.... Netccentric Pte Ltd (our leetle dotcom) is going to have to foot the bill in hiring bodyguards for his protection whenever he's in Malaysia.
But it's ok... we will spend within our means.Rather than having imported bodyguards like this which would probably cost $10,000 (approx RM36,000) a month (which excludes the RM3,000 air fare for flying them over to Malaysia).
We can have budget bodyguards like this that cost RM2.50 an hour (which includes the RM1 bus fare to take him to work every day).
Gunalah Barangan Buatan Malaysia!Or... if all else fails...
I could bring Ming to this little shop in KL.
And he could buy himself some protection.As for me...
Two days ago I drove across to Penang Bridge back to Penang.
And safe or not safe.... it feels soooo good to be back home (though I'll be flying to Taiwan in a few days).PS: You can read the article on the kidnapping here.

yuin: Guess you left your burst fire mode on. Thank God you switched back to semi-auto else I'd be seeing blog comments for life. =P
stewie: Can I hire that budget bodyguard too? Share-share... =)
hiaya, msians also dont feel safe in JB
haiyar, here not safe, there not safe, police station lagi not safe... where only safe? sit at home on the toilet bowl safest. See something wrong only, pull the trigger and do down the drain. Cleber anot? cleber anot? Cleber lehh...
Well, Singapore is a lot nicer than Msia.. Did you ever ask Ming what he was thinking when he went into business with you? :P
Also notice how Boss doesn't remove all the multiple posted comments... Blaming someone else while you're beefing up the comment counter, hmmm?
malaysia isnt as unsafe as singaporeans make it out to be. they think robbers can tell who are singaporeans n who are malaysians by just looking at their faces? that's plain dumb! they target those who show off their wealth n those who boast n brag in public about what they have. sounds like some country we know, doesn't it? just because they think their country is so much better than ours, so they come here n boast n show off, so padam muka lah that they get robbed. sometimes, the natural stupidity of this "by-far-superior" country makes me torn between wanting to laugh or to cry.
p.s.: jackson, boss doesn't need to 'beef up the comment counter' to show that alot of people are reading his blog. stupid. please don't come here and act smart when your inner-self really is dying to be a japanese writing like this: "anywayz..."
in fact, don't go anywhere else and act smart except on ur own sad blog whom nobody reads.
p.p.s: boss, i didn't think there was a need to draw that much attention to that article either.

lance: NOOooo! that budget bodyguard is mine!! get your own!!! I hear they're having year- end sales at parkson now... check it out.. you might get one for RM1 an hour instead of RM2.50 an hour.
yothemans: hahaha u're not the first malaysian to have said that
william: cleber ... very very cleber...
jackson: hahaha no jackson.. it's just too much effort to remove all those comments. i have to click on them one by one which leads to another pop up window... to delete them.. about 3 clicks for every one comment i want to delete... i can't be bothered
daphne: my Singaporean partner Ming as well used to tell me how whenever he's in Malaysia, the Malaysians can tell instantly he's Singaporean. But now he realizes it's utter rubbish so I guess what you say is true.
PS: I appreciate the support daphne but don't crucify jackson for his comment... he was only poking fun.
daphne need to drink more chinese herbal tea, very very 'heaty'
you seeeeeeeeee everybody loves spam once in a while, now proven by the boss himself who gave excuses for not wanting to remove the "spam" comments. :p

william: lol william.. u're just asking for trouble aren't u?
