"Supper" Robbery at Section 11 PJ

For me, reading this report, Robbers prey on customers having supper makes it even more scary, as the robbery

1. happened in Section 11 P Jaya, not even 200 metres from my house;
2. this was the second robbery at the same restaurant in more than a month,
3. a Star reporter almost lost his hand in the robbery {if the ring had remained stuck on his finger}

Are we being lulled into a false sense of security by those Government reports that the crime rates have decreased? I am now very apprehensive, as Section 11 has always been known as a 'safe' section. I guess with the "midnight teh tarik" and 'suppering' culture among the fashion trends in Malaysia, we will most likely see "supper robbers" turning into a lucrative profession among our growing unemployed.
Unless I am sure the Police and the authorities come up with measures that deter such crimes, I intend to sadly avoid going for my regular Friday late night supper with my badminton friends, which is really unfortunate, for me and for a beer company.
