CALL IN THE CAVALRY!
Security measures in at least 10 shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya have been beefed up, following a recent spate of robberies targeting women, which have shocked Malaysians.

One of the most recent incidents took place last Monday, when a man with a parang accosted a shopping complex salesgirl as she walked towards her car in the outdoor parking lot at 10pm, a report in The Star newspaper said on Sunday.

The robber shoved her into her car, directed her to drive to an ATM and withdraw money, after which he drove off with the car, leaving her by the roadside, Sin Chew Daily reported.

The girl, who was unhurt, was also robbed of her wallet and gold jewellery. Sin Chew identified the mall as The Curve in Petaling Jaya. The mall is located across the street from a large Ikea outlet.
