OK peeps, save this number in your phonebook, 07-2212999. It’s a 24 hour hotline manned by the Johor Police and apparently available in 4 languages (English, Chinese, Malay & Tamil) as well.

According to an article published in the Weekend Today (19 July 2008), the Johor police assure the public a 15 minutes response time. This service is part of their latest efforts to reduce crime rates in our neighbour’s southern state.

Well, don’t bet ya life on it but what the heck, at least there’s a number to call now.
