SELANGOR, MALAYSIA— A school headmaster was shocked to find that the RM109,000 worth of school aid meant for students left inside his car was stolen after getting a drink, with the Malaysian police looking into the theft.
Mohd Zaid Hassan, the Kajang district police chief assistant commissioner, confirmed that the district police received a report about the incident at 12.17 pm yesterday (16 Jany).
According to the police statement, the 50-year-old primary school headmaster withdrew the cash at 10 am yesterday (16 Jan) in Kampung Baru Semenyih.
He had placed the cash inside a bag and placed it at the front passenger seat of his car.
