Holy crap

I just saw someone firebomb a Maserati.

Re: Holy crap

  • I've officially had my first interaction with the Malaysian police. It was...interesting.
  • Oh my god!! Are you ok? I don't know what I'd be feeling after seeing that. Were the police helpful at all?

  • What on earth?  That must have been so scary.
  • I was driving with a friend when we saw a guy pouring gasoline all over the back of a parked Maserati and set it alight.

    There were a few people driving by who pulled over when it happened, so I wasn't the only witness.  The police came up to me, took my name and number, and asked me if it was an Indian guy.  Apparently there's some guy going around town doing this to luxury cars.  That makes two whackadoodles on the loose.  This guy and the one who is going around throwing acid on women.  Lovely.

  • Crazy to think that happened in broad daylight. 

     I read an article in the Singapore paper about the acid guy.

     I read an article in the Singapore paper about the acid guy.

    Seriously?  Because it's not being reported in the local papers at all.  It's just information that gets passed around via word of mouth and in expat publications because the guys have yet to go after a Malay woman. 

  • Yes.  Fairly recently right?  I'd say I saw this article about 5-6 weeks ago.  I just scanned the article but the article said that the woman who was hit was fairly lucky b/c the acid wasn't super concentrated.

     He's hit over 20 women at this point.  It's been going on since a few months before we moved here.  I'm not sure of the exact numbers because the government is trying to keep it on the dl.  It's more of a, "did you hear that the Bangsar Acid Splasher got someone else over the weekend?" type of thing.
  • I'd say their attempt at keeping it on the dl isn't working so well then.

     

    Yeah, article said this woman wasn't the first one to be attacked.  Scary stuff.

  • That's really scary!!!

  • Both the firebomb and the acid guy are crazy scary! Stay safe!

    I'm kind of glad that I didn't know about the acid guy when I was there a few weeks ago. That would have really freaked me out.

    I'm kind of glad that I didn't know about the acid guy when I was there a few weeks ago. That would have really freaked me out.

    To this point he's only struck in two suburbs that are pretty well populated by expats and non-Malays.  If you were just in the city you should have been fine. 

  • Wow, that is really scary.  Stay safe!

  • Yeah, these are all on the list of things I won't be telling my mother.
  • That's so freaky. The acid splasher really freaks me out.

    Be careful.

  • Wow... stay safe.  That sounds insane.

  • Whoa, that is really scary. Does acid splasher guy have an agenda (try to get women to stay home where they belong or something)? Or is he just plain nuts?

    Well yeah he's obviously nuts regardless. But I was wondering if he had like...a point to his nuttiness? Not that it really makes a difference as far as the outcome.
