KUALA LUMPUR, July 17 — The family of a Terengganu man whose money flew off after he mistakenly placed it on his car and drove away is appealing to those who took the cash to return it.

Wan Mastura Wan Leh, 26, said the family would offer a small payment to those who return the money. The cash fell from her brother Wan Ibrahim’s car while he was travelling along Jalan Kota Baru-Kuala Terengganu near Kampung Lak Lok, Jertih last Wednesday (July 12).

According to Wan Mastura, Wan Ibrahim had wanted to use the money to expand his barber shop business, Harian Metro reported.

"We hope more people will come forward to return the money and a small token will be given to those who do that,” she said.

In the 11am incident, Wan Ibrahim, 24, had placed RM60,000 cash kept in a bag on his car boot before driving off, resulting in some RM30,000 cash getting blown away.

Wan Ibrahim was on his way to the bank to deposit the money at the time of the incident.

A report had since been lodged at Kampung Raja Police Station for further action.

"We hope those who took the money can return them to us,” Wan Mastura said, adding she can be contacted at 013-5395538.
