He claims that the attack started from a misunderstanding due to his failure to give way to a red Malaysian car that emerged from a small lane.

 

"I had proceeded following behind the car in front of me and shortly, trouble came. My car was stopped by another man at the gate of the ZON," wrote the driver, who is a frequent visitor to JB.

 

According to him, the passengers in the red car rushed to his door and smashed the window with their fists. He also saw a man with a steering wheel lock.

 

"I quickly drove off and soon, I saw more people chasing after my car. These were people on motorcycles and everything turned chaotic," he added.

 

The attack happened all the way from Stulang Laut to the JB customs. Throughout the entire time, helmets were being thrown at his car and the two cars attempted to corner him sveral times.

As the driver drove into the JB customs to seek protection from the police, he said that they followed him all the way and carried on smashing the car.

 

Police officers managed to get him and two of his friends out of the car but the attackers carried on smashing the car and even jumped onto the roof.

 

According to the driver, about 20 men attacked his car that night. He later found out that nine had been arrested by the Malaysian police. Three 15-year-olds were among the group.

 

The contributor said that he wanted to warn fellow drivers that JB is "totally not safe at all we are always the vulnerable victims".

yup its not always safe but in JB if you are humble, behave humbly and you dress humbly, usually you shld stay out of trouble.. even those who knife point robbery are the drug addicts and pple who are out to rob a person are usually overstayers from indo, generally the "gang" and syndicate may not want to bother with sml fly like us. i think the driver was no angel himself and the way he cut out or whatever it is might have been so cocky that it angered the other driver and friends to cause a wreck...
