The home of Faizah Shuib, the widow of Megat Junid Megat Ayob, at No 2, Jalan SS7/3 Kelana Jaya in Petaling Jaya was broken into early today, with losses estimated at RM50,000.

Petaling Jaya District police chief ACP Arjunaidi Mohamed said Faizah, 67, who was Megat Junid’s first wife, and an Indonesian maid were sleeping in their respective rooms when three men broke into the house at about 5.40am.

He said the three men, believed to be Indonesians, had earlier tied up a security guard at the house before breaking into the premises.

“The suspects, wearing masks and armed with a cutter and screwdriver, then tied up Faizah and ransacked the house before fleeing with Faizah’s belongings, including jewellery, worth RM50,000,” he told reporters at the scene today.
