吉隆坡是世界上最危險的城市！我過去30年到過非洲、葉門，還有好幾個東南亞國家，而吉隆坡是我所到過最危險的地方！
以上這番話，是由英國背包客戴夫拉姆西Dave Ramsey在國際旅遊網站上發表。 拉姆西10月5日與同伴結伴到吉隆坡背包自由行的時候，在吉隆坡市中心靠近Hard Rock Café附近遭遇搶劫。在反抗中，他被搶匪是刀刺中右胸，同伴的背包被搶走。整個過程發生在人潮熱鬧的地區。而令拉姆西心寒的是，許多人目睹劫案發生，但是卻沒有人願意出手相助，對劫案過程視而不見！
他說，吉隆坡市民不只是冷漠，連他受了傷也沒人幫忙，胸口流了很多血；他自嘲說幸虧他身體夠強壯，如果換了是身材瘦弱的人，可能這一刀就要了他的命。 他也投訴當他想截停的士在他到醫院尋求醫治的時候，許多的士司機一看到他身上沾滿鮮血，都不肯載他。最後才由旅遊警察tourist police協助找到的士。 談起這些旅遊警察，拉姆西也感到非常無奈。他說，這些警察根本沒有興趣知道劫案發生的過程，卻只是問他需不需要報案，方便索取保險賠償。 【我覺得吉隆坡的警察根本不關心罪案問題，也對這些劫匪無能為力。】拉姆西說。 拉姆西最初被載往私人專科醫院，但是卻被拒絕提供醫療服務，最後他被載往中央醫院才獲得醫藥護理。 他說，他在醫院也遇到另外一位來自美國紐約的遊客，他的金鍊也被搶了，在搶劫過程中割傷了頸項；他說他住紐約32年都平安無事，第一次到吉隆坡旅遊就遇到搶劫。 拉姆西說：【我直覺上認為吉隆坡的警察比罪犯更糟糕，他們全都是無能，沒有效率，毫不親切的一群，空有華麗的制服外表，卻更像是街頭的擺設物。】 他毫不客氣的說，大馬的旅遊宣傳口號【馬來西亞—真正的亞洲風情】（Malaysia truly Asia）根本與事實不符；KL也不只是Kuala Lumpur的縮寫，它還有另外一層意思：Killed by Locals！ 【我過去30年游遍全世界，到過許多國家和地區，當過很多次背包客，也住過不少5星級大酒店。我必須很誠實的說，吉隆坡是我所到過最危險的城市。】拉姆西說：【我以後都不會再來這個城市旅遊了，我也勸請其他的背包客，如果計劃要到吉隆坡旅行的話，請三思。】
正文如下： 「KL Is THE Most Dangerous Place I Have Travelled To」 It’s a frightening wake up call when a backpacker who has been travelling for nearly 30 years to places like Africa, Yemen and South East Asia says Kuala Lumpur is THE most dangerous place he has been to. UK backpacker Dave Ramsey was stabbed and mugged in Jalan Sultan Ismail, KL on 5 October 2013 As the crime rate in Malaysia rises, the public is feeling less secure walking down the streets these days. Even tourists have not been spared as more fall victims to muggings and snatch thefts. One such incident left a backpacker, Dave Ramsay from Ayr, United Kingdom angry and annoyed as he was stabbed and mugged in the KL city center near Hard Rock Cafe on Oct 5. In relating his horrifying experience on the VirtualTourist website (www.virtualtourist.com), Dave said that he was not only mugged but also stabbed in the chest in the incident. His ordeal is also being shared on Facebook. The mode of this mugging was to pull on a bag and when I turned round I was stabbed in the chest with a knife, while turning. This is a stab first rob later mode of attack. My friend held onto her bag and I started to assist only to be slashed with the knife across my right arm – that was when I saw blood spraying out my chest I told her to let the bag go as her head/neck was closest to the knife. The robber fled with the bag. I think we were marked and then surrounded as some of the 「local concerned helpers」 were actually trying to pull me clear. It took 30 mins to get to a hospital (City Hospital – very happy with the medics there top job). I was lucky to be able to stand in the road to stop a taxi. Several (taxis) passed after seeing blood – and eventually after being rejected at a private hospital I got medical attention. Dave said he was lucky to have survived the trauma for his build. According to him, had it happened to a slimmer person, it could have been fatal. No police anywhere in an iffy area (I think they get a cut to stay away), security at the local venues did nothing…. Very hard to get support people in street or taxis.
The tourist police did not ask ANYTHING about the perpetrator of this crime – all they did was produce a report for an insurance claim…. They have no intention of pursuing criminals, no interest. An NYC man came in 10 minutes later having had his gold chain snatched from his neck – he said he lived in NYC 32 years and this was his first every mugging. I genuinely feel the police in KL are worse than the criminals because they are ineffective, not present and most likely getting a cut. The politicians are the police masters I wonder how they make so much money. Malaysia truly Asia (my arse this is a pit of crime) KL= Killed by Locals. This place needs avoiding big time. I have travelled Africa, Yemen, SE Asia for nearly 30 years back packer and 5 star. I am not a squeemish person but I genuinely believe this to be THE most dangerous place I have been due to the vast number of incidents and the frequency of them…. its epidemic.
