Violent and property crime also decreased by 13.4 percent and 20.8 percent respectively to 11,495 cases and 41,479 cases in 2021. The department quotes that such a decrease has been attributed to the Movement Control Order (MCO) and cross-border restrictions imposed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For lone female drivers, self-defense is the utmost important skill and asset to possess in the unfortunate case of an attacker. Now, this isn\u2019t America where we can simply go into a store and walk off with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/worldofbuzz.com\/pdrm-you-can-be-jailed-10-years-if-you-carry-these-weapons-around-for-self-defence\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gun or a knife<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We can, however, keep a few handy tools in our car as self-defense should the need arise. Remember, this isn\u2019t Hollywood with all the flashy moves and fight scenes. Even a fully-trained black belt is no match if you ever get caught off guard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read More: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/best-dashcam-malaysia\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Dashcams in Malaysia &amp; How to Choose One<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notable Incident\/s on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/worldofbuzz.com\/malaysian-lady-tied-beaten-robbed-parking-lot-three-thugs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lone Women Drivers<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If anyone recalls the bone-chilling case of the murder of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buletinfm.audio\/koolhiburan-pembunuhan-canny-ong-adalah-tanpa-motif-ahmad-najib-disyaki-sebagai-penjenayah-psychopath\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canny Ong<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> back in 2003, she was abducted in an underground parking lot by an assailant despite the victim being a black belt martial artist.

A common piece of advice on the streets is to slot in a sharp, pointy key in between the knuckles like Wolverine in the movies. The caveat, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/dont-put-your-keys-between-your-fingers-for-self-defens-1819780877\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">martial arts instructors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, would actually hurt you more than the assailant. See, the skin between our fingers is quite soft and fragile. Any sudden and rough confrontation is going to be one big paper cut.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30012\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/ezgif.com-gif-maker-4.gif\" alt=\"Keys as part of your self defense kit\" width=\"498\" height=\"272\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you can do, however, is try to hold the keys like how you would hold a knife. Either holding it upwards or downwards. When an assailant begins to approach you, utilize the keys by stabbing where it hurts and call for help. Furthermore, a gaping wound on the perpetrator will make it easier for authorities and onlookers to identify if caught.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read More: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/car-accessory-stores\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep Yourself Safe With These Items From Car Accessory Stores<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pepper Spray<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30013\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/181374224_comp.jpg\" alt=\"Pepper spray should be an essential part of your self defense kit\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/181374224_comp.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/181374224_comp-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/181374224_comp-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>Salt and pepper is the world\u2019s most common seasoning used in food. But did you know that pepper sprays are manufactured as an option for a non-lethal self-defense kit? Pepper sprays have been favored by law enforcement and individual citizens alike due to their cheap and non-lethal way of riot control. To use pepper spray is quite simple &#8211; Aim the nozzle at the assailant, hold your breath and squeeze the trigger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9f_PBzDhLwg?si=LkHhesez8gHg54wI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pepper spray is an inexpensive way for crowd suppression and surprisingly, is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freemalaysiatoday.com\/category\/leisure\/health\/2022\/05\/14\/desi-rose-defence-kit-essential-self-protection-for-every-woman\/#:~:text=It%20is%20not%20illegal%20in,is%20allowed%20under%20the%20law.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">legal to own<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

While it may lack any feature to do any physical harm, the sheer presence of a high-pitched whistle blaring in a dark alley or a parking lot would frighten any assailant due to the attention it has garnered. Moreover, a safety whistle is small and cheap enough to conceal in your pocket or with your key bundle. Thus, it is best to combo it with something else that provides substantial defense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Stay safe with this <a href=\"https:\/\/c.lazada.com.my\/t\/c.cGM4dm\">KIPRUN Emergency Survival Whistle<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alarm Keychains<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30015\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/7.png\" alt=\"Alarm Keychains is a hands-free option for a self defense kit\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \/>If you have a little budget to spend, alarm keychains are ubiquitous in almost every situation like getting lost in a mountain hike, needing to alert rescuers in a car crash, or for personal protection for women and children alike. Alarm keychains are also similar to safety whistles but the advantage of alarm keychains is it\u2019s activated via a pin pulled from the device akin to a hand grenade. This leaves your hands available to reach out for other means to defend yourself like grabbing a can of pepper spray in your car. The high-pitched alarm will alert anyone in the vicinity and it won\u2019t stop blaring until the safety pin is inserted or deactivated via a switch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alarm keychains as a self-defense kit these days come in designs that look seemingly harmless and compact. You can grab a decent quality alarm keychain like this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/c.lazada.com.my\/t\/c.cGM4Wb\">USB Alarm Keychain<\/a> from any e-commerce sites<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

However, even the most seasoned martial artists or Batman with prep time can still take a few punches off guard by a henchman lurking in the shadows. My former self-defense instructor taught me some tricks that are useful to pass on. Should you feel unsafe by a stranger approaching you or you feel your life is in immediate danger while you\u2019re in your vehicle, keep your doors locked. If the assailant attempts to communicate with you, keep the car cabin brightly lit and the car engine on, lower the car window slightly ajar and pay attention to your surroundings. If a weapon is brandished or the stranger starts to show signs of aggression, it&#8217;s time to pedal to the metal. Drive off to the nearest police station or somewhere crowded and brightly lit for help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read More: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/safe-driving-attire\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper &amp; Safe Driving Attire: Why Committing a Fashion Faux Pas behind the Wheel Means Being Safer on the Road?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30010\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/190707161_comp.jpg\" alt=\"Watch your automated gates at home\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/190707161_comp.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/190707161_comp-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/190707161_comp-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>Moreover, if any readers here have an automated gate <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recommend.my\/blog\/home-security-tips-reduce-burglary\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">installed <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at your place, don\u2019t kill the engine immediately upon entering the compound.
