Chief of the Pontian Police district, Supt. Mohammad Shofee Tayib said the 30-year-old man filed a police report claiming that he was robbed by two men on Jalan Parit Kassim. He stated that he was the target of a knife attack, which then the two men fled with RM300 in cash and his watch.

Kosmo reported that the complainant has been facing financial difficulties and has been ignoring his wife’s requests for money. He also failed to provide the exact location of the incident.
