, MCA president and Transport Minister Ong Tee Keat lost the briefcase when his friend's Toyota Estima was broken into in Taman Perling, Johor Baharu.
Johor police chief Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said police received a report from Ong's friend, believed to be a MCA member, at about 5pm yesterday.
In his report, the man claimed that his car was broken into and the briefcase was missing.
"The 46-year-old victim was reported to have parked the car in the housing area.
"Also stated in the report made at the Perling police station was that a briefcase belonging to Ong's bodyguard was missing," he said.
Important documents lost
Mohd Mokhtar said following the incident, police arrested 11 people aged between 25 and 30 to help in the investigation.
He said the briefcase was believed to contain several important documents but police had not yet recorded a statement from Ong.
However, the report did not state if this was a simple theft case or if there was any political motive behind the incident.
Yesterday evening, the MCA president raised eyebrows when he failed to show up at a ceremony to officiate a new Chinese school building in Johor.
According to the Chinese media, Ong said he had to skip the function because of 'pain in his leg'.
The reports also claimed that a helicopter was waiting at the school field to take the minister back to Kuala Lumpur.
This afternoon, PPP leader and Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department T Murugiah was shocked to discover two bullet casings in a parcel left outside his office.
