Greetings to the principal of SMK Datok Lokman, Puan Hajah Norrizan binti Bahari, teachers and my fellow friends. As the president, I am here on behalf of the Crime Prevention Club to give a speech entitled ‘Safety for Students’.
As a student, we need to be cautious and beware of our surrounding that we can maintain our safety. Nowadays, many crime cases are overlooked because we think they do not concern us. The truth of the matter is we cannot ignore the crime cases that is happening around us because the more we ignore, the more serious it will become. So the key question to ask is, how do we deal with crime and learn to protect ourselves?
First of all, prevention is better than cure. When we have to travel, we must always travel in pairs or in groups. That way, we will not become an easy target for the criminals. If anything has happen, at least one member of the group may have chance to escape and call for help.
Besides that, we should never take short cuts when we go to school or return home. Usually short cuts are located at remote areas where there are very few people. If someone chooses to attack you in such place, you will less likely to escape safety. Therefore, we should stay away from such area at all time.

Not only that, we must keep in mind that we should never accept anything from strangers. If we do not know these people, why in the world would they give anything to us? Their intention are questionable so we cannot trust them at all. Otherwise, we may fall into their traps and become victims of crime.
At night, if we happen to walk alone in the streets and we realize that someone is following us, we must remember one important thing: keep walking if a strange vehicle or individual approaches you. Do not let them know that you are aware of their presence. Then, make sure you head over to a crowded place which will be safer. Perhaps that will be best time to call for help.
In addition to this, if you see a suspicious character hanging around the school or its entrance, please inform your teacher. Teachers are responsible for your safety in the school compound. So they will take necessary steps to deal with the suspicious by informing the authority.
Last but not least, one must remember not to play or stand in the street while waiting for your transport home. Criminals will target you on the street with the intention of kidnapping or robbing you so you should not give them the chance to harm you.
As a conclusion, we must pay attention to our surroundings at all time. Stay alert and you will never fall as the victims of crime. Do not forget pass this message and useful tips to your friends and family so they get protected too.
Thank you.
