Incidents of road rage have increased in Kuala Lumpur, with most serious encounters occurring late at night. Recently an expatriate couple was in a minor accident outside a popular nightclub at 3 a.m., after which a group of locals attacked their car, smashed windows with fists and motorcycle helmets, then dragged one occupant out of the car. If driving in the city, be cautious, give way to other drivers, keep your doors locked and windows closed, carry a cell phone so you can call for help for yourself or others, and try to plan to be home at a reasonable hour.

Despite the efforts of the Malaysian navy, the waters off the coast of Sabah on Borneo still harbor pirates who kidnap for ransom. A Malaysian tugboat was recently attacked and three crew members were abducted by bandits believed to be members of the Philippine terrorist group, Abu Sayyaf. In the past the group has kidnapped tourists from resorts and have killed some when ransoms were not forthcoming.
