Mr Choong Chee Wah, a Malaysian with Singapore permanent residency, had
stopped at a petrol kiosk for a toilet break in Johor Bahru, only to
have his Singaporean wife attacked by a man armed with a knife.
The Choongs were heading to Desaru with friends for a National Day fun trip and the group agreed to meet up at the Shell petrol station immediately after clearing the Malaysian immigration checkpoint at about 6am.
As the couple went into respective toilets, Mr Choong Chee Wah 56, heard his wife scream. As he rushed into the toilet, he saw a man pointing a knife at his wife's neck.
Mr Choong subdued the robber, holding him down with his "tiger's claws" grip on his neck, till the man begged for mercy.
Mr Choong said he taught martial arts in England when he was doing his Masters, and that he had invented Choong-Kwan-Do, which is a combination of tai-chi, taekwondo, hapkido (Korean martial arts) and Shaolin gongfu.

Priscilla Dang, 23, of Vancouver said she was jogging on the path along Padden Parkway June 14 when a teenage boy on a bicycle distracted her to allow a second teenager to swat her on the buttocks, The Columbian in Vancouver reported Monday.
"I hate when men think they can do that stuff," said Dang, who said she regularly studies Wushu martial arts. "There was no question."
Dang said she threw the boy to the ground and demanded an apology, which he offered, but the other boy called her a derogatory term and she struck him, leading him to get off his bicycle and attempt to punch her.
The jogger said the teenager pulled out a knife when he was unable to land a punch and she blocked his weapon with the bicycle until a passerby spotted the confrontation and called 911.
Sheriff's deputies arrested Josiah Sullivan, 18, who allegedly slapped Dang's buttocks, on suspicion of misdemeanour fourth-degree assault.
Deputies referred charges of displaying a dangerous weapon against the second teen, a 16-year-old boy whose name was not released.
PS:
These robbers chose messed with the wrong people.
Really can't judge a book by its cover.
Lucky these victims escaped unhurt.
No matter, all should be more alert of their surroundings and people.
