Went for shopping at Angsana at JB. We were done with our day and decided to move off from there. So I went to pay for the parking. On our way back to the car which we parked at the side of the road just after the gantry, my wife Shaliza Wati said ‘I almost forgot. We came here to get diapers. We’re out of diapers.’
‘But we just paid for parking. We have 15 minutes to leave after making payment.’ ‘Why don’t you and Aliyah go to the car and set down all these things that we’ve already bought in the car. I’ll be quick.’
So I went with my three year old daughter to the car. It was pretty dimly lit this side of building. I set down my daughter in the car in her car seat and closed the door. Then I began packing the things we bought in the boot. After that I started the car, turned on the air conditioner to cool down the car.
As I sat down in the car, I felt an instinct to lock the car. I turned to Aliyah and started playing with her. So I was seated in the front while Aliyah is seated at the back in her car seat. Suddenly, I heard someone trying to open the door. I looked over the shoulder and saw this guy looking into Aliyah’s side of the window. And when he saw my head turn he fled. I would have gone after him, but that would mean leaving my daughter alone the car.
About a few seconds later my wife came back to the car with the diapers she just bought. When she came into the car, I asked ‘didn’t you see a guy just fleeing from our car? He just tried to open the door to Aliyah’s side of the door.’
My wife was shocked beyond belief.
Moral of the story is, in JB, even when you’re just waiting for awhile in the car, especially with your kids inside, lock the damned door! Seems these people are just trying their luck. If I was any careless Aliyah might have been grabbed.
