Security Alert

Some criminals are so creepy with their calculated and sinister plots. They use neither gun nor any sophisticated weapon. All they need to steal your phone or other items through your windows is blade and stick; blade to cut your window net, and a modified stick to lift off bags or objects close to the window, all these happening while you're fast asleep.Extra precaution needs taken by ground-floor occupants. Don't be fooled by your fenced and gated compound. These culprits find their way in. This may not happen in highly secure environment though.

Security Tips:
1. Before sleeping or leaving home, ensure all windows and doors are securely locked. Make good use of your cooling system.
2. If you must open your window while sleeping, ensure all important items such as purse, phones, laptops etc are put far away from the windows. Preferably store them in the drawers or lockers.
3. Always draw your curtains/window blinds in the night and switch off or dim the room's light.
4. Do a random check if you wake in the middle of the night.
5. Remember to pray before you sleep.

Plan Safety, stay safe.
