Limitation of ALLways Safe Campaign

In the course of this entire campaign, there are a few limitations that can be highlighted. The first limitation is the lack of power supply. One of our tactics involves the usages of a tent, and the issue that will arise from this will be air supply and heat. The team had a solution to solve this issue and that solution is to install 2 air-cond. However, the power supply that is supplied at canteen 1 concourse area is not able to support the air-cond, hence the team had to resolve by using standing fan as well as hanging up the side of the tent to allow air flow. This cause some issues during the first day but things worked out as day progresses by.

The second limitation in this campaign is the Hari Raya holidays. As our campaign is on the 21^st to the 23^rd of July, which is three days after Hari Raya, we were unable to attach our self with any government body as they are still on holiday or finishing up last minute work since coming back from holidays. The lesson that can be taken here is to do a proper research before settling with a date for any campaign as it might affect the campaign.

The last limitation is that the college had a workshop on our opening ceremony day. As mentioned, our opening ceremony was clashing with a workshop that was being held in TARUC. This caused the campaign to lose many VIP’s attendance such as the president of TARUC, Y Bhg Datuk Tan Chik Heok. As for this, we had to quickly come out with a backup plan to solve this issue that is in hand. In addition to that, on the actual day itself, there were many last minute changes that could affect the campaign. What we could learn from this is that we have to always prepare our self for the unexpected and always have a backup plan.

This flash mob is not same as those broadcasting on the youtube or movie as it was just a simple hand table beating performance. Nonetheless, it also able grabbed the attention of the public. Because of the time constraint, so we just chose some simple step to learn and perform. We had use one day time to practices and rehearsal at the actual location which is campus canteen 1 only. During the practice, all group member had been giving out the fully corporation as well as put effort to learn together. For instance, the 37 of the group members had been distributed into two groups. One of the groups was playing the role as a PERSONAL SAFETY AGENT while the other groups had played as VICTIM. The PERSONAL SAFETY AGENT had to be learning one more set of hand beating because they were the groups who sit into the crowded people at first. There was a speaker had be use microphone to make the announcement about our “ALLways” Safe campaign towards the public.

One of the members of publicity department was teaching them the step of hand beating before the flash mob actual day. 

ALL members of the personal safety campaign was put effort to practicing themselves after they learned all the steps.

During the day of the FLASH MOB, all group members had been come early and gather at the canteen 1 concourse area. PERSONAL SAFETY AGENT had been dressing up black color T shirt while VICTIM had been dressing up white color T shirt. Before the start of FLASH MOB, all VICTIMS must be making up as a victim as their hand and eye will make up with some wounds. It aimed to make them look more like victims and intended to grab the attention of the public.

The members of the personal safety campaign were busy in preparing.

The look of the victim character which they has made up some wounds on their hand and face.

After done all the preparation, PERSONAL SAFETY AGENT had sit into the crowed people at first. After that, the VICTIM started to walk around the canteen 1 within 10 minutes. Their look had made the public to keep on their sight on those VICTIMS successfully. As the time past, we had played out the warning sounds in order to inform the VICTIMS ready to sit into the group as well as get the attention of the public. Then, the PERSONAL SAFETY AGENT had started to beat the table following by the VICTIM.

Safety While Taking Public Transport

Most of the residents, especially those who live in Kuala Lumpur and Klang Valley would prefer to use public transport to travel from one place to another place as it is convenient and cheaper. There is a variety of public transport such as bus, monorail, light rail transit train (LRT), cab and others. By taking public transport, it can help one to reduce his or her monthly expenses as he or she does not need to pay for the petrol or the toll fee. Besides, it also helps to reduce the time consume for travelling if you are taking LRT, KTM or monorail as you can easily avoid the heavy traffic.


Public transport makes one’s life easier. However, there are still some safety issues that need to take into account when you are taking public transport as dangerous are always be around. For example,a bank officer was being molested by a man at Masjid Jamek LRT station recently (Read more at: http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2015/07/26/Prasarana-tracks-down-molester/). Therefore, to avoid from becoming the next victim, here are some personal safety tips for you!

Safety Tips for Train Users
· Stay with the others. Do not get on a coach which is far from the crowd.

· For ladies, please board on the ladies coach if there is any (usually applicable for KTM).

· Keep all your belongings on your lap or if you are standing, make sure you are standing against the wall of the train.

· Always check on the position of emergency exit and also the emergency help button.

· Always allow the passengers inside to get out of the train first before you boarding the train so that accident could be avoided.

Safety Tips for Bus Users

· Try to know when the bus is coming so that you do not need to wait too long at the bus stop as sometimes you might be alone.

· Do not wait alone at the bus stop during night time.

· Try to wait at a bus stop where there is someone else waiting.

Safety Tips for Cab Users

· Always note down the car plat number and also the driver’s name when you are taking a cab.

· If you are calling for a cab, always double confirm with the details such as driver’s name and car plat number before you get into the cab.

· Prepare enough amount of money for the fare before leaving your home so that you do not need to take out your purse when in the cab.

Last but not least, always aware of your surrounding no matter where you are. Try to avoid using mobile devices when you are waiting for a public transport. We want you to stay ALLways and alWAYS Safe!

THROWBACK: ALLways Safe Campaign

Finally, ALLways Safe personal safety Campaign has come to an end! Let’s throwback what happened during three days campaign.

ALLways Safe Campaign has different types of activity such as ‘Travelling journey’, ‘Oculus rift’, ‘Watch your back’ Taro card, ‘Are you the next one’ mini games and also offer a booth of selling ‘Stopper pepper spray’ security equipment. These activity may be simple but it is sufficient enough to convey the clear message which is to create awareness and educate audiences on personal safety information. In addition, it is also emphasizing on Campus safety, Home safety and Social safety.

Apart from learning and explaining personal safety information, we did observe audiences reaction and feeling when they participated in the campaign. In fact, during Day 1 campaign, we realized that everyone was talking about the heat and it was a bit crowded which people has no space to queue up. Thus, during Day 2, we decided to lift up more cover in order to make air circulation. In addition, it is allow people to look what is inside the ‘SAFE house’. It is because there were comments from people that they do not dare to go inside ‘SAFE house’ where it is covered with black. Besides, we also decided to reposition booth arrangement in order to make sure everyone has the chances to participate in every activity. Therefore, we more away booth of ‘Stoper pepper spray’ to outside of ‘SAFE house’ so that people can have a look while registration.

Oculus Rift is the hottest and highlight of ALLways Safe campaign. It is not only to have fun, it allows audiences have an opportunity to be experienced what would happened and how do they react when they are socializing. Through the observation, audiences liked Oculus rift due to no matter how long the queue was, they are willing to spend time and wait in order to try Oculus rift. In fact, they are quite large amount of audiences knew about Oculus rift and feel excitement that it is free of charge to experience.

On top of that, we found out that some audiences came for 2 days campaign due to they would like to experience again the Oculus rift. They were also recommended it to their friends and came along together. It is a good news for us whereby audiences’ action indicated that we enables to convey the message and they are recommended it to their friends and willing to join.

Comments from audiences:
Q: “How do you feel about the ‘Oculus rift’ activity?”
A: “It is so fun and vivid! I’m feeling anxious that what would happen in next second.”
“I did not realize there is someone following me, it is horrible if it happen in real life.”
“I will be worried if my girlfriend is drunk and nobody cares for her when she is alone.

Apart from Oculus rift, people actually thought ‘Travelling journey’ was a ghost house where they being attracted due to they heard of people screaming inside of ‘Travelling journey’ which makes them curious what is it. However, they are willing to experience after we were explaining the purpose and idea of ‘Travelling journey’.

Furthermore, many of the audiences actually has chosen to hide when a break-in situation happened. We will then educate them that hiding is not the correct ways to react when a break-in situation happen and then explain what is the appropriate response they should have when facing a crimes happen.

Comments from audiences:
“At first, I do not know the intention of ‘travelling journey’, but I understand the meaning behind after I experienced it which is telling us being safe all the time.”
“It is very fun and good try!”
“Actually I do not what to do when someone break-in.”
“I like the atmosphere and decoration, it is so professional.”
“Now I know who to call when I faced the same situation.”
“I did not expect that I have to do self-defense.”
“I’m thinking whether the victim is really injured or trying to cheat as there are too many crimes happen where people using this kind of trick to cheat.”

The comments from audiences are considered as good comments because it indicates they did learn a lesson, found out the mistakes they had and also aware for their personal safety after experienced from ‘Travelling journey’.


Students were willing to spend time and queue up for ‘Travelling journey’.

As for exhibition, audiences were surprised when they entering into ‘SAFE house’. People were thinking that the exhibition board and others decoration were professional. Through observation, we knew that audiences will follow and perform the self-deference action while reading the information and also talking to their friends how to protect themselves by using the personal safety product that we showed at exhibition board. In addition, some of the audiences would like to purchase those product that showed at exhibition in order to product themselves.






Last but not least, we found out that majority of audiences or students did not know the correct method or information of personal safety such as they do not know the correct emergency telephone number to call in different circumstances. It is a good opportunity for ALLways Safe campaign to educate audiences about correct personal safety information and solution.

“Although the campaign is over, but we care for your personal safety.

So please stay ALLways and always safe! ”
