Unofficial News: Please Beware of New Snatch Tactics!

I have just recently recieve an email regarding snatch thieves in Malaysia. I dunno if it's true or not but it's better to know to be alert and safe rather than risking it by not knowing. Please tell your friends about it.
Dear All
We have been reading about snatch thieves incidents. I witnessed for myself today a new method adopted by them.
Please pass this on to friends -
Alert them of this NEW METHOD adopted by snatch thieves.
Today, Tuesday 12 September 2006 at 6pm I was driving along SS2/22, Petaling Jaya going towards Damansara Jaya. This street is totally residential * one street off the main road.
About 10 houses in front of me was this young lady walking by a car parked along the grass patch outside one of the terrace houses. As she was reaching the rear end of this clean decent looking Silver Proton Waja, I noticed the engine started and the left rear passenger door's window was being wound down.
Suddenly a man emerged out of the rear passenger door's window * his entire torso! * and making a grab of this lady's handbag!!!! As this man emerged from the car's window, the Silver Proton Waja was pulling out of its parking position slowly * not in a hurry * with the man from within just dragging the lady and her handbag along until she gave it up!! Then they drove off slowly * no hurry!!!
All the above happened in front of my eyes in less than 30 seconds!!!!!
Her screams and cries did not help! No one came to her rescue * in fact a middle age woman ran into her house upon seeing this happening right in front of her house only to come back out to lock her gates after the car has driven away! Do you blame her? The thieves were so bold!!!!
By the time my car reached her, the Silver Proton Waja had turned the corner. She was very shaken but thankfully only slightly hurt *her pants were torn as were her slippers * bloody knees, shins, palms and elbows. On the way to the police station, she told me that she had noticed that there were 3 men * she identified them as Malay men * in the car.
I could not believe my eyes when I saw what was happening thus did not have the instinct to take note of the car's registration number. I've always thought that would be the first thing I would look out in an incident like this but NO * I was too shocked * simply watching this scene being played out right in front of me!!!
So please beware when you are walking by parked cars with men inside. Pass this on to as many friends as you can to alert them.
Sincerely
Joyce Ho

Australia's 'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin died during filming.

The Associated Press - Published: September 4, 2006

He stalked lions. He faced off with poisonous snakes. He wrestled with crocodiles. When the end came for television's beloved "Crocodile Hunter," it was in an encounter with a stingray and its venomous tail barb.
Perhaps it wasn't surprising. Steve Irwin died doing what he loved best, getting too close to one of the dangerous animals he dedicated his life to protecting with an irrepressible, effervescent personality that propelled him to global fame.

The 44-year-old Irwin's heart was pierced by the serrated, poisonous spine of a stingray as he swam with the creature Monday while shooting a new TV show on the Great Barrier Reef, his manager and producer John Stainton said.

Marine experts called the death a freak accident. They said rays reflexively deploy a sharp spine in their tails when frightened, but the venom coating the barb usually just causes a very painful sting for humans.

News of Irwin's death reverberated around the world, where he won popularity with millions as the man who regularly leaped on the back of huge crocodiles and grabbed deadly snakes by the tail.
"Crikey!" was his catch phrase, repeated whenever there was a close call — or just about any other event — during his TV programs, delivered with a broad Australian twang, mile-a-minute delivery and big arm gestures.

"I am shocked and distressed at Steve Irwin's sudden, untimely and freakish death," Australian Prime Minister John Howard said. "It's a huge loss to Australia."
Conservationists said all the world would feel the loss of Irwin, who turned a childhood love of snakes and lizards and knowledge learned at his parents' side into a message of wildlife preservation that reached a television audience that reportedly exceeded 200 million.

In high-energy programs from Africa, the Americas and Asia, but especially his beloved Australia, Irwin — dressed always in khaki shorts, shirt and heavy boots — crept up on lions, chased and was chased by komodo dragons, and went eye-to-eye with poisonous snakes.
Often, his trademark big finish was to hunt down one of the huge saltwater crocodiles that inhabit the rivers and beaches of the Outback in Australia's tropical north, leap onto its back, grabbing its jaws with his bare hands, then tying the animal's mouth with rope.
He was a committed conservationist, running a wildlife park for crocodiles and other Australian fauna, including kangaroos, koalas and possums, and using some of his TV wealth to buy tracts of land for use as natural habitat.

Irwin was shooting a series called "Ocean's Deadliest" in the water at Batt Reef, off the Australian resort town of Port Douglas about 100 kilometers (60 miles) north of Cairns, when he was stung.
"The stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart," said Stainton, who was on board Irwin's boat, Croc One, at the time.
He died within an hour.

"He died doing what he loved best and left this world in a happy and peaceful state of mind," Stainton said, his voice wavering. "He would have said, 'Crocs Rule!'"
Irwin's image was dented in 2004 when he held his month-old son, Bob, in one arm while feeding large crocodiles inside a zoo pen, touching off a public outcry. He argued there was no danger to his son. He also has a daughter, Bindi Sue.

Later that year, he was accused of getting too close to penguins and humpback whales in Antarctica while making a documentary. An official investigation recommended no action be taken against him.
Irwin was born Feb. 22, 1962, in the southern city of Melbourne to a plumber father and a nurse mother, who decided a few years later to chase a shared dream of becoming involved in animal preservation.
They moved to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and opened a reptile and wildlife preserve at Beerwah in 1970. Irwin was in his element.

He was given a 3.5-meter (12-foot) scrub python for his sixth birthday and regularly went on capturing excursions with his father in the bushland around the park. He became obsessed with crocodiles, and in his 20s worked for the Queensland government as a trapper.
Irwin's father, Bob, said his son had an innate affinity with animals from an early age, a sense Irwin later described as "a gift." Irwin said he learned about wildlife working with his parents rather than in school.

In 1991, Irwin took over the park, Australia Zoo, when his parents retired and began building a reputation as a showman during daily crocodile feeding shows.
He met and married Terri Raines, of Eugene, Oregon, who came to the park as a tourist, that year. They invited a television crew to join them on their camping honeymoon on Australia's far northern tip.
The resulting show became the first "Crocodile Hunter," was picked up by the Discovery Channel, and became an international hit.

Irwin was more famous in the United States than at home, where he typified a knockabout, rascally character Australians call a "larrikin."
He starred in his own movie, "The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course" in 2002 and appeared in the Eddie Murphy movie "Dr. Dolittle 2."

Irwin pulled barb out before death
Fatally injured by a stingray, Steve Irwin pulled its barb out of his chest before losing consciousness, dramatic footage of his last moments reveals. Friend John Stainton said the footage of the stingray attack which took the life of the Crocodile Hunter on the Great Barrier Reef was "shocking".

Mr Irwin, 44, died after the stingray barb punctured his chest while snorkelling off Port Douglas, in far north Queensland. A cameraman captured the incident during filming for Irwin's new project with daughter Bindi, eight, that was to debut in the United States next year.
"I did see the footage and it's shocking," Mr Stainton told reporters in Cairns.

Mr Stainton, who was aboard Mr Irwin's vessel Croc One when the tragedy occurred, said it was likely the television star and naturalist died almost immediately as a result of the stingray's blow.


"(He was) probably a metre coming over the top of it," he said."
He was underwater. I think, and the coroner's report will say what happened, but I think he died fairly instantly." Mr Stainton said he was still in disbelief that a stingray could claim his close friend's life." He was always on the precipice," he said.

"He always pushed himself to the very limits but I thought he was invulnerable and I think he did too."
I think we all had that belief that we'd pull through whatever situation we were in and he has been in some very close shaves with snakes and crocodiles. "I would never imagine it to come from something like a stingray."

"It's a very hard thing to watch because you're actually witnessing somebody die ... and it's terrible."

Mr Stainton, also a producer and director of Irwin's popular television shows, said the footage showed Mr Irwin pulling the barb out of his chest before losing consciousness.


"It shows that Steve came over the top of the ray and the tail came up, and spiked him here (in the chest), and he pulled it out and the next minute he's gone."
That was it. The cameraman had to shut down."









IRWIN'S FAMILY RUSHES BACK TO AUSTRALIAN HOME

Crocodile Hunter STEVE IRWIN'S wife and two children rushed from a family holiday in Tasmania to their Queensland, Australia home last night (03AUG06) after learning Irwin had died in a freak stingray attack. Irwin, a passionate conservationist, was killed when a stingray barb pierced his heart as he filmed footage for a new documentary on shallow reefs in north Queensland.
The footage of his fatal goring has been handed over to Queensland police, who are investigating the incident. According to boat owner PETER WEST, "Something happened with this animal that made it rear and he was at the wrong position at the wrong time and if it hit him anywhere else, we would not be talking about a fatality."

Irwin's family was hiking near Cradle Mountain on the Australian island of Tasmania when he was killed just after 11 am on Monday (04SEPT06). Wife TERRI, daughter BINDI SUE, 8, and son BOB, 2, flew out of Devonport, Tasmania to the Sunshine Coast on a chartered flight shortly after 5 pm. Bindi clutched a blanket and stayed close to her mother, while her younger brother Bob skipped ahead as the family walked across the tarmac to their aircraft.

The news of Irwin's sudden death shocked the world and sparked a huge outpouring of grief, particularly in his homeland of Australia and in the US, where he had found fame and fortune as an adventurer and naturalist.

TV Program Entertainment News: The Apprentice.


Trump tells Carolyn: "You're fired!"

Kepcher, blonde assistant of 'The Apprentice,' loses job after Trump tires of her.
August 31 2006: 12:37 PM EDT

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Carolyn Kepcher, the blonde co-star of Donald Trump's 'The Apprentice,' has been fired.

The 36-year old sidekick, who in addition to her role on the show ran the Trump National Golf Club in posh Westchester County north of New York City, was fired earlier this week.

Rhona Graff of the Trump Organization confirmed to CNNMoney.com that Kepcher no longer works at the company.

Trump's daughter Ivanka has replaced Kepcher in the role, while Trump's son Don Jr. is the successor to the 78-year old real estate lawyer George Ross on the show.

The show's Web site states Ivanka and Don Jr. will "fill in for" Kepcher and Ross "during multiple episodes of 'The Apprentice'" in the fifth season.

Ross is still "very much a part of the company," Graff said, but because the show's next season is being taped in Los Angeles instead of New York, his appearances on it will be limited.

Graff said Trump wishes Kepcher well but had no other comment on the matter.

An article citing unnamed sources in Thursday's New York Post, which first reported the story, indicated Kepcher's lack of focus as a reason for the firing.

Trump had had trouble reaching her recently as she had been away on a trip to give a speech, the sources told the newspaper.

Kepcher had hired agents at ICM to handle book and TV offers, and Westport Entertainment to manage her speaking engagements and product endorsements, the newspaper reported.

"The Apprentice" has been in decline for a while and it's possible Kepcher's departure is a business move as much as anything else said Jennifer Armstrong, a staff writer for Entertainment Weekly, who has covered the show. She noted that the show's production is moving to Los Angeles next season, too.

"In some ways maybe it's good to shake things up a little bit," Armstrong said.

But it's a risk, too, according to Armstrong who says Kepcher was "a really key component to the show."

"She was there from the beginning," said Armstrong. "The three judges had the same kind of magical chemistry. She was great at being a henchman to Donald but she brought a female element to table, too."

Entertainment Weekly is owned by Time Warner, CNNMoney.com's parent company.

Marketing Evaluations, which conducts surveys of the public's familiarity with and opinion of various celebrities, found that while 80 percent of general U.S. population knows who Trump is, only about 25 percent know Kepcher and Ross.

And among those who know those three personalities, the view of Trump is far more negative than the view of Kepcher and Ross.

"That [Trump's high negatives] is not necessarily a bad thing. It's just the way he enlists an emotional response," Henry Schafer, vice president for Marketing Evaluation, which uses the survey to compile "Q Scores" used by networks and advertisers to judge personalities' appeal, told CNNMoney.com. "He's someone people love to hate."

NEW YORK TIMES. August 31, 2006 -- CAROLYN KEPCHER, Donald Trump's co-star on "The Apprentice," has heard him say "You're fired!" for the last time - because this time he said it to her, sources told The Post.

The icy, 36-year-old blonde - who was running the Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff in Westchester and helping supervise the Trump National in Bedminster, N.J. - was let go earlier this week.

"She became a prima donna," said one insider. "Being on 'The Apprentice' went to her head. She was no longer focused on business. She was giving speeches for $25,000 and doing endorsements."

Kepcher - who is married and has a son, Connor, 6, and a daughter Cassidy, 4 - had agents at ICM handling book and TV offers, and Westport Entertainment weighing speaking engagements and endorsements. She came out two years ago with a book, "Carolyn 101: Business Lessons from 'The Apprentice's' Straight Shooter."

Insiders say that when Trump tried to reach her recently, she was off on a trip to make a speech. Another time, while giving a tour of the pro shop at the Briarcliff club, she didn't seem to know the prices on any of the merchandise.

Trump has been in Los Angeles for five weeks filming the next season of "The Apprentice." His daughter, Ivanka, has replaced Carolyn as one of Trump's two on-air sidekicks, while son Don Jr. is the successor to gruff real-estate lawyer George Ross, 78.

"George has been around a long time. He's seen everything. He didn't get excited even when women on the street started screaming when they saw him on his way to work," said one source. "But Carolyn took it very seriously. She thought she was a freaking movie star."

It's quite a turnabout from when "The Apprentice" launched in January 2004, and Trump said Kepcher was "very firm, very tough, very smart, very shrewd and has good judgment."

Trump had no comment, and Kepcher, who had worked for him for 10 years, couldn't be reached. Messages were left at her office and with her agents.

Kepcher was replaced at Briarcliff by Dan Scavino, her No. 2 at the course, which boasts a 102-foot-tall waterfall at the par-3 13th hole.

"Trump told her what she had to do was take some time off and spend it with her family, and then get another job," said an insider. "They have a great relationship."

In Kepcher's effort to become a superstar, she seems to have failed to practice what she preaches in her own book.

"Carolyn 101" claims to teach readers how to "spot and seize potential business opportunities, be a team leader and deal with a difficult boss," among other lessons. Her Web site states that Trump considers her a "killer" businesswoman, "best exemplified by his promoting her to the top ranks of the Trump Organization almost immediately."
