Close Shave for ADUN Subang Jaya
She is an advocate of crime prevention. She has been robbed before. But on early Tuesday morning, ADUN Subang Jaya Hannah Yeoh had a close encounter with a suspected robber.
Was it an attempted robbery, mugging or a flasher who attempted to threaten Hannah in USJ11?
It was a normal morning for her driving alone in USJ11.
"I was driving very slowly because of a road hump and as I looked right, I saw a Chinese man on a motorbike right next to me and he was about to take a weapon from underneath his shirt to attack me."
"I could not see if it was a pistol, a knife or a hammer and all I could do at that time was to honk continuously," she said.
The loud honk caused him to turn away, according to Hannah.
"I sped off, drove straight to the shops nearby and rang the police."
"I was only thinking of the next person he would be after in the neighbourhood and so I rang SJ Alert to notify the residents," she said adding that she hoped the suspect's motive was robbery and not something else.
"I thank God for keeping me safe. Please observe your surroundings at all times and be alert," she said.
Meanwhile USJ8 police Chief Inspector Loi Yew Lik when contacted said he immediately despatched a team to the area upon receiving the distress call from Hannah.
"We did not manage to find the suspect but I have instructed my men to be on the lookout," he said.
Hannah described the suspect as Chinese and he had a white helmet on. Due to the circumstances of the situation, she did not manage to note the motorcycle registration number or any other details.
Until Press time, a police report has been lodged.
