It must be those a$$holes waiting to hijack your car.

I had similar experience before but not in jb. When I was in cameron highlands, I saw a couple walking around my car, peeping in and out. I walked towards them and they moved off immediately.

Then on the NSH, three teenage motorcyclists followed me closely for about 10km before they were stopped by a passing police car.

And my ride is a very old lao poi kai car (think the SG plate attracted them).

Jokes aside, i think its good to bring this up so we can take note of such scenarios.

its always better to go up north in large group..

by Terrier 16th August 2009, 10:46 pm

hmm.. Fortec.. usually i go ard your timing and back before 8pm.

I often drive up to jusco for grocery then on the way back stopped by esso to pump.. after that doesnt seems any one tailing me. Because behind me naturally alot of cars as you know during evening time alot of car heading to JB city and congested up to pelangi area.

With my guess, they are trying luck and see will u dropped by somewhere before heading back home..

so usually petrol is my last destination before heading back home.

anyway if you feel u are being tailed.. call the msia police for assistance. The new chief is reducing the crime rate and so far I did see much progress.

For peace of mind, even if the exchange rate drops to subterranean levels, I wouldn't spend my hard earned moolah in Boleh(kena merogol-merompak-menyerang-membajak pesawat-melarikan-membunuh)-Land.

Just a very personal opinion but one that seems to be upheld by their local press more often than not. And not that Singapore is all goodie-two-shoes perfect but we definitely don't see much(even in stark relative terms) of the blatant targeting of the tourists and out-stationers with opportunistic violent crimes. I don't know for sure... Maybe when the IRs turn operational, things around here might just very well change.

I'm just glad your family and you are safe Bro Fortec!

No low-priced(as a result of currency exchange) sub-standard petrol/grocery/holiday is worth the sanctity of one's loved ones...

by Terrier 18th August 2009, 10:20 pm

newsman.. u got kissed by what?? those motorbiker ar??

by Daniel^Bigcow 19th August 2009, 12:25 pm

You sure his car got kissed and not him?? Hahaha!! He didnt mention his car got kissed wor?? Maybe 'someone' in his car kiss his backside?? Hehehe!! :-)

Like I said, just be on a lookout. I came to conclusion!! Forte owners here in this forum all very 'boleh'!! Know how to look out for trouble and avoid. :-)

Hey Siaoster, maybe you can do a msia police sticker for all of us? Or 1 of those Minister's emblem sticker? I try get sample, you make for all of us?? Hehehe!! :-)

I see some spore plate cars having those ministers emblems on their car. Usually sticker, stick beside number on the number plate. Have yet to see those metal pieces like msian cars yet. :-)

With these 2 things, usually these 'ppl' will not dare target these cars!! :-)

he trying to push ur backside la cos u too slow lolx i mean if ur fast enough then he wont catch up to u ma lolx

by Daniel^Bigcow 19th August 2009, 2:50 pm

Wahh what this Hello Kitty says is also true!! Heehehehe!!! :-)

Another piece of advise is, try to find out the locations of police stations. Then can drive to the police stations. Even if you dun report, these ppl will be scared off.

Cos you try to come back spore, later jam how?? Hahahaha!! :-)

by Terrier 19th August 2009, 4:42 pm

Daniel, why dont your make a big DECAL and said

STOP TAILING ME!! OR I CALL Johor Police Hotline: +6072212999

then put their president sad =( photo beside the decal!!

Isnt that more realistic and whenever in troublede we know what no. to call..

by Daniel^Bigcow 19th August 2009, 4:47 pm

That wont work mate!! Probably they will chase your car even if they never had the intention to!! So as to smash your screen!! Hahaha!! :-)

And anyways, msia no president!! Hahahaha!! Prime minister got. :-)

by Terrier 19th August 2009, 4:58 pm

ohh ya.. only kiasu sg must have both president and prime minister!

Yeah.. as bro terrier advice, better keep these numbers handy... maybe we should start collecting all HP of local in-charge for emer case.. esp in JB..

by FriesL 19th August 2009, 5:38 pm

coming to think of it, think its better to quickly hav boleh-forte so these shi* dun target us anymore

by ctoh 19th August 2009, 5:56 pm

Just my 2 cts opinion: Got boleh-forte worst - car thief can sell the car within M'sia, no need to export stolen goods

Now, if you see a M'sia registered forte - must be stolen one! (of course there are "re-con" cars in M'sia, but unlikely to re-con a new forte)

by Terrier 19th August 2009, 7:53 pm

yea.. from your original Forte becomes Msia NAZA.. with original C&C bodykit.. nice hor! ^^

by ReDeViL 19th August 2009, 9:56 pm

Seems like a lot of you here is waiting for an 'official update' that the KIA Forte is on the 'hit/harvest list' for you to sit-up, wake-up and stop driving-in...
