An elderly woman’s home in Johor Bahru was broken into by a masked man in the early hours of July 6.
A video of the incident has since gone viral, showing the man covering her mouth with his hand as she cries out for help.
“I’m a friend of Ali’s”
The incident happened at the elderly woman’s home, believed to be in her 70s, in Kampung Melayu, Simpang Renggam.
Based on the viral video, the incident occurred while the woman was eating.
At one point, the woman asks, “Who are you?” and the man replies that he’s a friend of “Ali,” a name believed to be one of her family members, as reported by Harian Metro.
The man, who appeared to be large-built, was later seen covering the woman’s mouth with his hand and telling her to stay quiet so the neighbours wouldn’t hear.
The man kept telling her to sit down while he went through her clothes, eventually finding her purse on the bed.
Kluang District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Bahrin Mohd Noh, confirmed the incident and said that investigations are still underway.
