Accidentally Throwing Away Jewellery Worth RM70,000, Woman In Kedah Had To Rummage Through Garbage To Find It

The Malays have a saying: “if it’s meant to be yours, it will be,” meaning that if something is yours, even if you lose it, it will come back to you.

A woman in Sik, Kedah, recently lost her box of gold jewellery, estimated to be around RM70,000, which was accidentally thrown away by her family member.

The video was shared by Anuar Rani in the Ipoh Ipoh Ajerr Facebook group which shows a woman, who is believed to be the daughter of the jewellery owner rummaging through piles of garbage looking for her mother’s jewellery box.

Workers of a waste management company even helped to facilitate the search by unloading all the garbage in the garbage truck, and soon after, the woman found the box that she was looking for. 

She then inspected the box and cleaned it before taking out the contents of the box which contained several gold bracelets believed to be worth RM70,000!

According to Utusan, the jewellery box was accidentally dumped along with other rubbish by one of her family members at home. 

After realising that her family had mistakenly thrown away the box containing the jewellery, the woman quickly rushed to the rubbish dump in Kulim to look for the jewellery, but found out that the rubbish was already taken to a garbage depot in Sik.

“Fortunately, the family’s housing area was the last location for the garbage collection yesterday. So there wasn’t much garbage that needed to be dumped out to find the missing jewellery box,” a source tells Utusan.

The search process only took about 30 minutes. 

We’re glad that they found her mother’s jewellery box!
