Malaysia Crime Watch

February is traditionally a less active month because of the Chinese/Lunar New Year festivities. Those celebrating (and many who don’t) take the opportunity to travel back to their hometowns, visit friends, and go on holidays. While less folks surf the Internet, crime and accident rates tend to rise!

This is the month when MCW reached its 200th news post and received its first comment by a visitor. Thank you!
