According to Sinar Harian, the incident happened on September 11 at around 10.30am when the 27-year-old lady was walking home after she had been to the supermarket nearby. As it was raining, she was holding an umbrella and was just passing by some houses when a motorcycle approached her from the front.

She looked up and the pillion rider of the bike ran down to try and snatch her backpack off her body. The lady, who is a teacher, started screaming her lungs out during the struggle where she fell down and the thief started hitting her so that she would let go of her bag.

He punched her head and while trying to snatch the backpack, she was dragged on the road. Her screams alerted the people living in the house and they came rushing out to see what had happened, which caused the thieves to panic and rush off with a plastic bag from the victim’s backpack.

As she went up to the nearby house to talk to the people who had come out to save her, suddenly the motorcycle with the two suspects on it drove past again, as if they were dissatisfied that they did not steal enough valuables from her. She screamed again and wanted to throw her bag inside the house but when they saw so many witnesses standing around, they quickly escaped on their motorcycle.
