This can give a very inaccurate representation about the security
situation
in the country. But do not panic for now.

Thanks, that helps.

Don't forget to be careful. Your wife's view is correct. The security
situation
in Malaysia is not what it used to be so extra care is important.

What is a debit card anyway?
It is always a good idea to get alternative sources of funds when
overseas.

Even locally, I and my wife carry with us more than 2 types of credit
cards,
from different banks.

So, if you see a Kancil WLB1591, keep out of his way - my wife
referred to
the driver as a "samseng". If that is Malaysian for idiot, then I
agree.

No. a gangster except that he may be alone.

Maybe he is changing. He becomes more and more Malaysian, picking up
the
bad points instead of the good points due to peer pressure and
pathetic attitudes
of Malaysians.
I am scared of my children.

om...

By the way, my wife also told me that I shouldn't use the credit card,
even in Sungei Wang or BB Plaza because people might copy the data on it
and create a copy. I've never had a fraud case in these past 15 years,
but should I perhaps be careful and only use the credit card in big and
"established" places ?


I had my card cloned whilst in Malaysia in April. I only used it 3 times -
at KLIA Duty Free, at the Royal Selangor factory shop and in a "big"
department store in Kota Kinabalu. I'm guessing it happened in the last
one, but can't be sure.


That happened to me too. After my trip to Malaysia in July-August
2003, someone cloned my debit card and maxed out my account taking a
trip to Songkhla. I got the money back, but had no money in my account

What bank do you use? Should not take more than 48 hrs to replace funds..
