Beware of newspaper lying on the road
If you are driving in Malaysia , do take note of the advice below. Plse
pass this onto yr friends. Avoid driving over newspapers strewn on the road
It would appear that this technique has reached Malaysia from Indonesia .

Life here is getting more like in Indonesia these days. This story which
was circulated to me reminds me of the traps set in certain parts of
Jakarta by robbers. Some people have lost their lives over this. They drive
into certain lonely roads in Jakarta to find pieces of wood with nails in
them on the road. This causes their tyres to go flat. If they get out of
their cars, they are set upon by robbers who will take everything: their
cars, wallets, anything valuable and sometimes their lives.

Avoid driving over newspapers strewn on the Road a new trap set by Robbers.
This incident happened some where in KL and forwarded to me by a friend.
This person was driving alone at night when he saw newspapers lying around
in the middle of the road. Without giving it much thought, he drove pass
the stack of papers. No one would expect to find heaps of rocks and stones
beneath the papers!! Wanting to know the damage to his car, he stopped to
check.

Need I say more.the moment he got out of his car, he was robbed by a group
of guys and lost his properties/belongings. Just imagine what would have
happen if this had happen to a girl/woman....

So folks, please be careful, do not stop when you're driving alone at night
no matter what ! Avoid driving over the papers if you see newspapers lying
on the road, this could be a new trick for the desparate fraternity out
there !!!!!!
