KUALA LUMPUR, June 30 — The house of Sports and Youth Minister Khairy Jamaluddin on Bukit Damansara was burgled on Saturday.
Khairy confirmed the incident on a Facebook posting earlier tonight.
According to City CID chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah, the Jalan Setiabistari residence was broken into by a trio who were driving a Proton Waja. The robbers scaled a perimeter wall, entering it via the unlocked front door.
At the time of the incident, only the maid was present.
"The maid was too terrified to do anything. She said they also ransacked the master bedroom," said Ku.
Total losses are still being investigated, Ku said in a statement today.
Crime in the country has been a frequent hot topic, despite assurances by PEMANDU that crime index in the country has dropped by 10.1 per cent between January and May in 2012, compared to the previous year.
