Syed Saddiq files police report after house gets robbed, over S$82,000 stolen source: https://mothership.sg/2020/03/syed-saddiq-robbery/ On Monday (Mar. 30), Malaysia’s former Youth and Sports Minister, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, tweeted a photo of a police report he made. Here’s the tweet: RM250,000 stolen In the caption, Syed said that his house was robbed. He added that police officers, as well as a forensic team, had visited his house on Sunday (Mar. 29) night to begin their investigations. The police report wrote that the robbery took place on Mar. 29, around 7:00pm. It was also stated that a total of RM250,000 (about S$82,000) was stolen from Syed’s safe. The last time Syed opened his safe was either on Mar. 13 or 14. His safe was protected with a secret code, and only a few people know where it is located in the house. Rest of the house was in tact According to the police report, the rest of the house was intact and there was no sign of forced entry. In a second tweet, Syed thanked the police staff for their hard work. He also hoped that the case will be solved as soon as possible. Stolen money did not belong to PPBM Continuing the Twitter thread, Syed clarified that he will not be responding to any comments or speculations until the investigation has completed.

Hence, the headline on the news was absolutely wrong.” He then urged TV3 to openly apologise for their mistake on the same day the false news was reported (Mar. 30). Syed ended off his statement by saying:
