The 57-year-old said that two gangsters broke into the house, stole $600, and stabbed him. After police investigation, it was revealed that he reported a false case, SMDN reported.
In a press release shared by MP Alvin Tan, the police said that, On 5 Feb 2022 at about 3.20pm they were alerted by a man to alleged case of armed robbery with hunt. The man claimed that two unknown men had entered his unit and robbed him of $600 at knife point.
