The Night I got Smashed In
The day had gone by perfectly, my team won the Pit Crew Experience by a mere 2point margin and then I went over to Paradiso for some dancing. Towards 12am (Saturday), I was feeling rather bored and my head start to think about things I don’t want to think about so I decide to join Andy, Euveng, Jason, NatC and gang for supper as they were going to the Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa Kampung Baru (which I was told is the Original). Found a spot right in front of the restaurant and proceed to eat.
By 2something near to 3am, we decide to leave, so I went to collect my car, got in, started the engine and locked my doors then I see this young malay guy kept slapping his hands on my window. I just look at him and he look like he was trying to start a fight, so the only reaction I know was to drive off rather than stand my ground to start a fight. As I drove off, I heard louder knocks on my car’s body (which I later found out was caused by helmets which has left dents around the car), ok, I panicked and I tried to find the fastest way out of that area cause I don’t want things to turn nasty, and next thing I know, some dude jumped onto the bonnet of my car and start jumping on it, my windscreen got smashed and punches start raining down on me.
Only thing I know or instinctively did was to try and block as much shots as I can that was going towards my eyes and nose. And before I knew it, my car keys was gone, part of my steering wheel was ripped out of it’s housing and windscreens got smashed and more punches was thrown in. I could only just let the punches continue until they get tired cause I doubt anyone would dare to come in between them and me. What felt like ages of continuous punches suddenly stopped when I heard someone started to shout at these people. Truthfully, if you ask me how many people attacked me, I wouldn’t know. I guess around the region of 15 – 20 people cause everything was a blur to me as it happened so fast.
Found out that the guy is a police officer and he started to chase the crowd away before two more officers in a patrol car showed up. They asked the crowd what happened and someone started telling them that I knocked into someone in front of the Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa shop (I was just starting my car, how would I be knocking into someone when my car wasn’t even moving yet?). The cops then interviewed me and try to find out what happened, I explained to them exactly as what I’ve written here except for the fact that @jasontkb and @euveng was my friends (they came up to me to check on me). The reason for that? I don’t want those malay guys to target them when they walk to their car after I head off to the police station. So I told the cops that both of them were passer by and they offer to help me with my injuries.
That’s basically about what happened. Took the tow truck 30minutes to show up cause my car keys (along with my camera bag that contains some lenses and a compact video camera as well as my blackberry) was missing from my car and I can’t drive myself to the police station to make a report. By the time we got to the police station, the cops told me to get myself over to HKL as they scared that I lost a lot of blood (well, a black color shirt was totally reddish might have helped to scare them). The doc took a look at me, clean me up and send me back home so here I am, recounting what happened to me earlier.
Thank You to all of you who asked about me (on Twitter & Facebook) and tried calling me on my mobile. Don’t have a mobile anymore so I’ve suspended my line until I can get a replacement phone (not in the near future cause whatever money I’ve made will go to getting my car fixed. Right now, I’m in my bed, feeling stoned, my nose and the upper part of my cheek area is still bleeding and I could feel some parts of my right side start to get swollen. Other than that, I’m still who I am. Thank You again everyone.

Wow dude, didn’t knew this happened. Get well soon man, and update us on what happened okay?
sorry to hear this.. hope u r ok now
so sad to read this. well…first…we should boycott Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa. their nasi lemak is pricey and is nothing to shout about. Then.. just dont go to Kg Baru without any important matter. those pigs think they can do whatever in their “area”… the kampung.
Gosh, what a brutal nightmare…Hope you recover soon. Did they hit your head? better to do full body scanning.
MALAYS, well said, PUASA month that is why so “HUNGRY”
thanks guys.
am doing ok now
just preoccupying myself with activities to stop myself from thinking about the whole thing and other personal issues which can make me go bonkers.
Get well soon !
Luckily no serious injuries, car can b fix, camera can get new one but life u only hav one. stay strong. God will punish them . .
hey Michael take care & get well soon!!!
OMG! At lest u r safe and sound MIKE. I hope U will recover in time and give all the info to police so those bastard can be bought in justice ASAP ( I have similar experinces at SS2 )
Life isn’t perfect. Though it is sad to hear you got into a brawl but still the story has some flaws somewhere. The Malays, the Chinese nor the Indians would not simply ‘attack’ people, in this case, you, without any particular reasons. Perhaps you really did something and that made them react. I am pretty sure, picking fight isn’t something that these people are good at unless if they are dead drunk or disturbed. You did mention that you came back from Paradiso for dancing…perhaps you were a little tipsy, I would say… No…? Well, putting blame or labeling people is easy but do we really know what’s the real story behind each incident? Well, 1 Malaysia has got nothing to do in this case. Don’t make this incident as a bandwagon…think and investigate the truth of each story…stop pointing our stinky fingers towards others knowing that there are three other fingers pointing right to ourselves… So, fellas, glad that Malaysians still know how to fight for their rights to be humans… And for you, get well soon… this could probably the best lesson to be learnt. Be honest… at least to yourself…
Sorry to hear what had happened to you.
Get well soon.
get well soon! take care.
OMG… This is terrible.
I wonder if they were targeting you because you had camera equipment. They could have just “pakat” to make some excuse to attack & rob you…
Hope you get well soon. Hope the b*stards who did this to you get what they deserve…
take care….
Glad to know you’re doing well bro. It’s a terrible feeling to witness as a friend gets belasah but can’t do anything about it. Stay strong and you’ll be back in no time
OMG! I heard the news from twitter & facebook.. but not manage to hear the whole story.
Bro, i has been told that Kampung Melayu totally racist. even sometime when i walk or makan at Kampung Baru with my chinese friends, i also not feel safe.

dang, mike, that’s f**ked up, man. i saw the pics. good to know you’re okay. i mean, there’s no telling what else a bunch of punks could have done.
sorry for the losses (we all know how it sucks), and i hope you’re able to erase this stupid incident out of your memory as quickly as you can, so it will not affect you.
all the best, bro – what goes around will come around.
Get well soon Mike =S

that was a really scary experience. i cant believe i laughed when i saw that guy jumping on your car. get well quick ya, glad you didn’t get it as bad as i imagined.
omg wtf!! those farking bastards! Sry dat I saw this late and sry for wateva happened. Those assholes are unforgivable!!
Anyway Mike, if you ever need to use a camera, feel free to look for me. I can borrow you mine.
What a horrible thing to happen to you.
How can someone do such a thing to someone who’s a complete stranger to them.
They really are horrid creatures.
Racism is an old and outdated approach to understand this world. History has been telling us that this ideology has been proven as FALSE, as we are getting more and more emphatic as a whole. In the past, kingdoms and empires discriminated each other so easily that they enter the battlefield. Today, we are against war on discrimination. Our generation had fought for the rights for the African Americans and even went against the Apartheid system! We are ONE human race! 1 HUMAN SPECIES!
I suspected it’s racism (with 15-20 people that’s for sure).
This may or may not be racially motivated. From the sound and look of things, it seems more like a robbery to me…albeit one with a made up excuse of you “knocking” into some unknown quantity.
I’ve personally seen this happen to a stranger in SS2 myself and I have helped by pulling out my steering lock and threatening to whack the sh*t out of them if they lay hands on the poor chap again…which works coz I shouted expletives at them and may have even sounded like a gangster.
I dont condone for anyone doing the same, unless they are willing to take the risk of getting hurt and have the will-power to actually hurt someone in defense OR for a very good reason. However, am just sharing my experience on what may or may not work.
To me, if they act like barbarians they should be treated like barbarians. Heck, if they could go around beating someone up, I could go mental on them too…so watch out!
Get well soon bro. Hope the police will catch those guys.
@vic:what are talking??ceratinly nonsense!!u are.this is no racism to me..it’s bluntly a robbery attack by those mat rempit!if according to their rules..which no exact rules that they follow..they would simply attack anyone..be it malays or non malays..shit happens!maybe not today but tomorrow..no one knows.
sorry to hear what has happen to you …..Get well soon
Sorry to hear what happen to you… hope you will get well soon..
This looks like some mat rempit sh*t.. And another prove that our “polis” is not doing anything. Shouldn’t the attacker being captured as well.. or those fat polis just cant chase them or scare to be beaten by them also? What a shame..
Malaysia O Malaysia ~
the attackers may/may not be racist , but what had clearly happened was they attacked someone n there’s a victim here . going into racial issues is just speculative and unhealthy in spreading our diverse culture community to a point where everyone hates each other .
perhaps our bro. really did something to them ( tipsy, misunderstand body language , voice tone facial expressions etc…) or perhaps not .
what is important is no one got killed . If not hell knows what kind of news spread out .
Like always the police is good at paper work first , action second . can’t expect much from them .
