When she ignored the man, he used a metal stick and smashed the window. He then attacked and robbed Miss Serene Tay, 38, an events planner, before fleeing on his motorcycle.
The incident happened at Taman Sentosa in Johor Baru last Sunday while Miss Tay was waiting in her car for her cousin, Ms Verrin Lua, 32, outside Ms Lua's house.
It was the third time the Singaporean has been targeted by robbers in Malaysia in the last five years.
Miss Tay, who suffered abrasions on her arms and legs, and chest pains from the attack, said of the robber: "He is in his 30s with a round face. If I saw him again, I would recognise him."
She reported the incident to the Malaysian police.
Miss Tay said that her car window had also been smashed in the previous incidents.
The first time, in early 2009, she had parked her car at Century Garden in Johor Baru. She returned to find a smashed window. Her friend's bag, which had been left on the back seat, was gone.
Then, about 21/2 years ago, her car window was smashed by two men on a motorcycle when she was stuck in traffic in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah in Johor Baru.
The incident happened in broad daylight and the men made off with her handbag which contained her passport and IC.
Though shaken, she said she still drives to Malaysia as her job requires her to make weekly trips there.
But, she said: "Since then, I have been more careful. I no longer keep my passport and IC in the same bag. I am also more wary of being approached by strangers."
