We were about 50 meters away from the scene of the robbery at Subang Parade last Saturday night. Armed robbery at Poh Kong Subang Parade left us with trauma. It was most terrifying night for my sister, her daughters, my sons and me, and probably will take us a week or so to get over it.
It was around 8pm after having our dinner, we went into Blook, which is next to Poh Kong. 5 mins later, we walked out browsing towards to The Coffee Bean indoor sitting area. Around 8.20pm, we heard a sound of firecrackers behind us. I turned, wanting to see where it came from. As the sound continues, I saw people running at the same time. Then I realized it was no firecrackers.. it was gun shooting. People were shouting “Get into the shop!!! get into the shop!!!” I grabbed my kids and told my sister to run. We ran into Giordano’s and the staff quickly pulled down the grill. From the small holes of the grill, I can see people were running and I can hear the continuous shooting outside which lasted about 5 mins. Hubby was at the upper level. I managed to talk to him on our mobile for less than a minute before the line went dead. I tried calling him back but failed. Probably everyone in the building was trying to make contact at the same time and the network got congested. 10 mins later, we saw people walked out from the shops so we went up to the MPH level. People was crowding the area. As I was walking towards Coca Restaurant, I saw a body lying motionless in front of Poh Kong. I prayed hoping no one dies. Then I saw hubby coming towards me. My sister made her way to the basement. She was in trauma and wanted to leave the shopping mall immediately. People were all making their exit at the same time, which saw bad traffic in the basement.
Soon we arrived home, the kids were too scared to go to sleep. So I stayed with them till they fast asleep. Hubby and I couldnt sleep. I could still hear the sound of shootings.

Next day, I saw news of it on papers and TV. 4 men were shot – 2 of them died were the security and the other one was the robber. Another security survived. More news..
Syukur.....

whoo..when i watched the news last night..i thought the robbery taking place early hour where shops mostly still closed.
so, the truth is all the shops close the grill for security..it really is a traumatic experience i agreed..padan muka the robbers are all caught!!alhamdulillah..
Eyna, ngerinye... I dengar dlm news... tak tahu you ada kat situ. Alhamdullilah nothing happen to you & family. take care.
hi tamn... (pjg na nama tu)
The robbers were daring enuff to do it with people around. Giler! Served them right, one dead and all has been caught.
Well, it was most traumatic experience for everyone in SP. Now I dah phobia nak keluar shopping..
Kimi...
Sampai sekarang I dok terdengar bunyi tembakan tu.. tak boleh tidur.. nak menangis pun ada bila terkenang, what if my family was at that place.. what if they took hostages.. what if peluru sesat kena kita...
really la mengerikan... I syukur sgt2 we all selamat...
Eyna dear,
I can't imagine how traumatic experience it is for you and your children. I also think, it's a mother's basic instinct to protect her children..... You did just that.
Alhamdulillah......... everyone is safe and sound.
Lanie..
Sometimes in that kind of situation, when panic rushed in, we cant think properly. I was really scared. It's true, mother's instinct... we always risk our own life for our kids...
ina, serammnya dengar... syukur u n family were safe....
tk care ya...
gosh, i got chills reading ur entry. alhamdullillah u and ur family semua ok.
Nad...
Memang seram sgt especially bila dengar shootings tu.. I'm still in trauma nak gi mana2 pun..
Zetty...
Nowadays, I got chills whenever I see people die... For the last few days ni asyik tengok orang mati je. Last night in my car I nampak org mati accident tepi jalan.. Aduhhh!!!
i could really feel how you feel, cuz i myself had my own experience 2 years ago. the court case still haven't settle though duh!... :(
anyhow luckily u and family are all ok.
Hi kue...
Wow.. yours must be a serious one.. sampai naik turun court. Hope it will settle soon.
Alhamdulillah... we all are ok now.
Eyna,
I heard the police found 50 spent bullets. So, mmg byk peluru sesat that night. Alhamdulillah u & family takde apa2.
Last Saturday I went there to shop for wedding gift, SP was lengang selengang-lengang nyaaa... mesti orang takut nak pegi shopping kat sana kot.
Dee...
Peluru sesat tu la yg I takut sgt2. Mmg byk kali lah dgr bunyi shooting tu.. Nowadays, mana2 I pergi,pantang dgr bunyi sikit, terkejut ada, nak lari pun ada.. hehe..
I think SP will be lenggang for few weeks je kot. In 1 or 2 months, it will back to normal. I macam dah phobia nak gi SP tu.. esp tengah nak CNY ni. Serammm
