I did warn SG people considering buying property in Johor about this. It is true that only the super rich are targeted for this genre of kidnapping. That does not mean you are safe. If you have children whom you intend to bring to Johor to live, they CAN be targets. As the recent case of the kidnap of a 6 year old daughter of a street hawker has shown. Malaysian Police are NOT amazingly efficient. They are actually the worst imaginable. Especially if the victim is a Singaporean Chinese. Besides kidnap, young women and girls can be raped in JB. You can be brutally hacked with a parang during an armed robbery. This is a serious risk and danger you pose to yourself and YOUR FAMILY if you wish to live and stay in Johor long term.

[@hwhuang5788]

At Padang Besar and in southern Thailand, no phone roaming of foreign SIM is allowed due to separatist activities. In Malaysia, no prepaid SIM should be allowed for international roaming. Foreigners should buy local SIM cards. Scammers and kidnapping can be made difficult to track / operate with roaming outside Malaysia or in neighbouring countries. Any local SIM card can be tracked by Google or WAZE driving map and Telco. Telco relay stations can be tracked to locate the phone movement, real time and earlier history. There are portable signal detectors to locate criminals' movement by the police. It will take time for police to act after release of the kidnapped victim. No scammer and kidnapper will do over the table bargaining, it is always over the phones which Telco relay stations can be tracked. Most kidnapping will eventually be busted by police. Planes flying above 30k feet can also be tracked real time.

[@gmatt3329]

My take is that potential targets are not only wealthy people who can pay high ransom, but also minors who can fetch a high price in the human trafficking market. Besides these, other potential targets are political, business, and religious rivals. All others who don't fall into these categories don't need to go overboard in their reaction to this video, i.e., no need to overreact. Indeed the Malaysian police are very efficient in catching criminals because they have vigilante networks all over the country. However, this works in two ways: 1. When the crime makes national/international news, they will catch the criminal very quickly because their's and their politicians' reputation/job is at stake. 2. When the crime is an obscure incident and makes no news, they quickly find the criminal through the same networks to share in the loot. Moral of the story: make as much noise about the crime in as many news media as possible, mentioning areas of police jurisdiction, political district, state, and country names. Request: news media to publicise at immigration checkpoints portals through which such crimes can be reported swiftly. With the Johor Sultan now as Agung of Malaysia, and the police (PDRM) reporting directly to him, we can expect to see nationwide crackdown on crime, especially kidnapping in Johor, as it affects the Sultan's investments in Johor.

This case validated my stance; JB hype by PAP-TEMASEK-ISKANDAR FAILED PROJECT-Forest City SFZ is self-serving, and “dangerous” for SINGAPOREANS retirement there!!!

Unfortunately kidnapping of the rich, be it from Malaysia or Singapore, will continue to be a risk factor to invest in Malaysia and let alone living in Malaysia. Malaysia properties are cheap for obvious reasons.

You may not seem to be insulting Singaporeans when you say not every Singaporean who visited Johore is a juicy target. But you are terribly ignorant and hypocritical when you chose to forget that poor Singaporean children may be kidnapped, not for ransom but to be sold or made use of immorally. You talked about children being kidnapped but you seem to suggest that only adulrs kidnapped for ransom are worth Singaporeans concern. In that sense, you are insulting Singaporean, by picking on their status, and not looking at the bigger issue.One of the bigger issue is why is this so frequent and what is Malaysia doing about it? It reflects poorly on Malaysians who always seem to pick on Singapore or Singaporeans for irrelevant things. But if we do it to Malaysians, the same way, how do Malaysians feel? Clap hands.. ? Please focus on the more important issues about uplifting the livelihood, better social support, better income, better crime prevention, than just focusing on body guards, gated house, carrying pistol, keeping secrets of our activities. So much distrust and living in fear. How does the average family hire guards or justify carrying pistol to protect their kids from their kids from being kidnap. Ministers and VIPs having guards are not good examples that Singapore is not same and crime ridden. That is a very poor logic. Many Condos in Singapore have security guards, and many foreigners were surprised and felt ironical, saying why need Security guards when Singapore is so safe and nearly crime free. I am not saying Singapore is very safe and crime free, but the point is: having security guards do not equate Singapore also have lots of crime. That is your poor logic. Also, the foreigners (non Malaysians) felt save, not the Malaysians who live here. I think Malaysians need to be careful and don't drag Singaporeans in for your own internal problems. Your ministers, your Mahatir, your Opposition politicians, UMNO MPs, always use Singapore as a scapegoat for Makaysia's internal problems.
