民眾须注意,一家人在学校假期开开心心出游时,也须提高警惕,顾好身上的財物,避免被人攫夺、混水摸鱼扒走。

此外,警方也提醒,在人潮拥挤的旅游景点,家长也应避免让年幼的孩子戴金饰,以防小偷针对防范力较弱的老弱妇嬬下手时,让他们成为受害者。

吉打州警方及哥打士打警方昨早(18日)在吉打港口码头,举办一项防范罪案推介仪式,並分派防范罪案传单给准备搭船的民眾。

吉总警长:提醒顾好行李
快艇上播放7分钟短片

吉州总警长拿督阿末依布拉欣说,警方也录製了一张长约7分钟的短片,让快艇在行驶时播放,提醒搭客在快艇上、码头、旅游景点时注意,照顾好行李。

“许多旅游都有带照相机出门,所以不要乱放,否则遗失、被偷之后,就损失惨重。”

他说,家长也须在人潮拥挤的地方,不要让孩子走失,特別是不要让孩子身上有贵重的財物,容易成为匪徒的目標。

他认为,虽然今年的学校假期已开始,但罪案並没有大幅度攀升,然而警方也並没有放鬆警惕,而促请民眾提高防范,也是警方防范和打击的努力之一。

今年罪案率下跌约11%

“今年的罪案比率虽有下跌约11%,但是警方也绝不鬆懈,继续加强打击罪案的努力。”

除了刑事罪案,他说,警方也非常重视打击毒品活动,因为吸毒者为了购买毒品解癮,很有可能挺而走险去参与犯罪活动,或者攫夺他人的財物。

他也表示,继今年檳城、吉隆坡、雪兰莪及柔佛之后,吉州明年也被列为在国家关键绩效领域(NKRA),侧重打击罪案的其中一个州属。

Alor Setar’s hot nasi lemak

Alor Setar’s hot nasi lemak

ASK anyone in Alor Setar where the best Chinese nasi lemak is in town, and you would probably be directed to the Nasi Lemak Ong in Jalan Kampung Perak.

The place, which offers more than 30 types of dishes including a huge tray of ulam, is always packed to the brim during opening hours and it is common to see regulars flocking here for their daily lunch.

Ong Kee Tea, 61, said he has satisfied the taste buds of locals for the past 15 years.

“I started the business after learning to cook nasi lemak from a veteran Indian-Muslim chef at a hotel in Langkawi,” he said.

A strong advocate of eating healthy, Ong doesn’t use coconut milk when preparing his dishes.

“I’ve my own secret recipe. I can maintain the curries and gravies to be thick and spicy even without the coconut milk,’’ he said.

Ong’s Chinese-style nasi lemak is no different from the authentic Malay fare including fried chicken, ayam madu (honey chicken), fried catfish, chicken curry, beef curry, mutton curry and sambal petai.

Apart from white rice, Ong also offers yellow-hued nasi lemak that is cooked with margarine and ginger.

“My wife is my assistant. Both of us wake up by 4am every day to prepare the ingredients and cook the dishes,” said the grandfather of five.

Ong said his third son was now considering quitting his job as an engineer to take over the business.

“I will make sure the nasi lemak business continues because I have regular customers from different races, and I don’t want to let them down,’’ he said.

Spotted enjoying the food with family members was businessman Koh Boon Teong, 47, who would patronise Ong’s stall twice a week.

“There is a variety of spicy dishes to cater to different taste buds,’’ he said, adding that the food was a bit pricey, though.

Penangite Larisa Siah, 30, said she heard about Nasi Lemak Ong from her friends.

“I came here three times before but the stall was closed. Now I get to taste it finally and it is really good and aromatic,” she said.

Nasi Lemak Ong is open from 10.30am to 3.30pm daily except on Wednesdays.
