How many got raped this year?

WELCOME TO MALAYSIA 2007....(where about nearly 2,000 are raped)

It was reported in The Sun (25/10) that from March or April 2007 (in seven months) there were 1,830 rape cases in Malaysia.

That breaks down to about 261 a month and nearly 9 cases a day. And those are only reported cases.

Now, I know some will look at that and be alarmed and paranoid...and yes, the statistics are pretty bad. It was way worse than I thought.

But on the other hand, you can't lock yourself in the house forever, so my advice to girls is: be aware. Be always aware. Walk with your head up, your eyes sharp and stare any creepy fellow in the eye with a look that says "if you dare do anything, I will do worse to you."

I was arguing with a guy the other day who accused me and my gender of being too laxed about our personal safety, and wanted his GF to stay indoors because there was a recent murder case nearby and I was basically trying to say...look, you can get raped or murdered in your own home and by people you know even. You can even walk into the pillar without looking, hit your head on the pavement and die (eg: Angkasawan/Dr Syeikh's brother recently in papers).

Haha, this sounds so unlike me, but basically just be street smart la. And pray, I've personally seen God work for me through prayer, the best self-defense :) No use being fearful, people can smell fear.

'He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, My God in whom I will trust.

Surely He shall deliver me from snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence'
-Psalm 91-
