For foreigners living in Singapore, payday is also a time when they send remittance money back to their family back home.
Unfortunately, for this Malaysian in Singapore, her bag, containing approximately $1,000 worth of cash and belongings, was stolen at Vista Point Kopitiam in Woodlands.
The unfortunate incident was caught on CCTV and the owner has since filed a police report.
The owner’s boyfriend also took to Facebook in hopes of identifying the thief with the help of the public.
A 19-second video clip uploaded on Facebook on Thursday (27 Jan) showed a masked man with a walking apparatus was loitering around a food stall at Vista Point Kopitiam in Woodlands.
After scoping the surroundings, he swiftly snatched a black bag that was sitting on the counter.
He then secured the bag under this left armpit before glancing around and leaving.
As he walked away from the scene of the crime, another man walked behind him, oblivious to the crime that had just occurred seconds earlier.
According to the Facebook post, the bag contains personal property and cash amounting to $1,000.
The OP’s girlfriend had meant to send the money as remittance to her family in Malaysia.
