Local  guy asked for RM6 for taxi. I quickly gave him RM10 as i had RM10 in my shirt pocket and if i denied him that, he might have flashed out a weapon.  Leason learnt : walk quickly and do not leave money where it can be easily seen. 2) 2007 - 7am on the way to ulu yam - lights after batu cave turn off...it was a red light was having a smoke in the car and had the window down..... foreign english speaking guy walks up and says he lost his wallet and needs cash to get back.  It was the first time that i panicked as he had walked up on from the right rear and i was shocked as he suddenly then appeared next to me. I did not give him any cash as for some reason my mind realised that my wallet was in my back pocket and to get it out, i would need to unbuckle the seat belt, go into P and that could be an ideal opportunity for him to carjack me.... So i muttered also got no cash and moved the car fwd as much as i could without blocking the intersection. Lesson learnt:-1) do not have windows down at junctions and if you do, keep aware of the surrounding movements.....</blockquote>
