It was an afternoon like any other afternoon and a heavily pregnant Cindy Lee was on her way to pick up her son at his pre-school in Subang Jaya. Little did she realise that between winding through traffic and glancing at her phone to check the time, she was about to have one of the most terrifying experiences of her life.

There was a car trailing her. A scruffy stranger stepped out the moment she pulled up at the kindergarten. Claiming he was a plainsclothes policeman, he wanted Lee to roll down her window. Suspicious, she refused.
