A break-in at the residence of Mirzan Mahathir, the eldest son of former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, has resulted in the loss of valuables estimated to be worth RM1.8 million.
Mirzan told news portal Scoop that the incident occurred on Wednesday while he was away. His 29-year-old daughter, Khadijah, was home when their domestic helper discovered signs of forced entry.
“I’m deeply disturbed and mentally shaken by what has happened. It is unsettling to know that someone could break into our home and violate our sense of safety,” he said.
The break-in was believed to have occurred around 5pm, after the helper noticed that the padlock on the rear gate had been cut. Khadijah found that her bedroom had been ransacked.
ADSAmong the stolen items were Cartier bracelets and rings, a Rolex piece engraved with a personal message, pearl tiaras, diamond earrings, jade bangles, heirloom gold items, foreign currency, and personal documents.
Kuala Lumpur acting police chief Usuf Jan Mohamad confirmed that the case is being investigated under Section 457 of the Penal Code for housebreaking.

He added that while the two-storey bungalow is equipped with 24-hour security and 16 CCTV cameras, the system only allows for live monitoring.
“We are now reviewing CCTV footage from neighbouring homes and ITIS (Integrated Transport Information System) cameras nearby. A K9 unit was also deployed but did not detect any scent trail,” Hasni was quoted as saying.
“With the forensic evidence and CCTV footage being reviewed, we believe we are closing in on identifying and apprehending the suspects,” he said. - Mkini
