S’pore rider demands compensation from KSL Resort for stolen bike brake cylinder, netizens disagree
A Singapore motorcyclist has called out KSL Resort in Johor Bahru (JB), claiming that the front master brake cylinder of his bike was stolen from their carpark during his stay from 23 to 24 August.

“I parked my motorcycle at your carpark, only to return and find that my front master brake cylinder had been stolen,” the rider said.
“This is not only a huge inconvenience but also a serious safety risk… This is unacceptable for a property that claims to provide a secure environment for its guests.”

They then demanded CCTV footage of the theft, an explanation for the security lapse, and compensation for their loss.
They also warned that they would escalate the matter if KSL did not respond promptly.
Netizens say rider should’ve known better
Instead of sympathy, the post drew a wave of blunt and sarcastic remarks from online users.
Many pointed out that public carparks typically display disclaimers against liability for theft.
