Recently I have been a victim of snatch theft, which happened during my holiday in Perhentian Island. This happened on Saturday(29/06/2013) around 6.40pm at Turtle beach, on my way back to my room at D'Lagoon chalet. I was alone at that time.
As I was travelling, bad things had happened to me at Perhentian Island, which listed as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. I'm thankful to god, as with a small wound on my back, I fought back the thief by pulling my bag however he managed to escape with it into the bush.
So, to those travellers out there please be careful while you're in Perhentian Island. It's not safe anymore. There have been many reports of thefts happening in Perhentian Island, especially at long beach areas. Tourists having their belonging stolen from their room, bags stolen while left unattended on the beach while went for a swim, and now a snatch theft!!!
I'm still traumatized of what had happened. I will not keep this quiet. I will spread this news for the sake of those travellers out there who are on their way or planning to go to Perhentian. Tourists need to be alert of these threats!!...
I see your labels are in malay, so I can assume that you are malaysian.
ReplyDeleteyes, am afraid of this things to happen to me/us later on *planning on going this september*
Aside from theft, what am afraid most is, rape cases, using drug or black magic.
2 of us that will be going are girl. need to take care of them later on, theft we can deal with that, but if rape, that is just on another level of trouble.
