Break-in at Tun Mahathir's grandchild's residence: Police record three statements
Three individuals have had their statements recorded as part of the ongoing investigation into a recent burglary at the residence of the grandchild of former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in Bukit Ledang.
KUALA LUMPUR – Three individuals have had their statements recorded as part of the ongoing investigation into a recent burglary at the residence of the grandchild of former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in Bukit Ledang.
Acting Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad said the individuals whose statements were recorded include a security guard and a domestic helper.
'The three individuals consist of both locals and foreigners. Their statements were recorded to assist in the investigation.
'So far, no arrests have been made. The investigation is still ongoing,' he said on Sunday.
Previously, Sinar Harian reported that police were still investigating the case, including awaiting a forensic report related to the estimated RM1.8 million in losses recorded following the incident.
Usuf said that police investigations revealed signs of forced entry at the residence and preliminary findings confirmed that the property belongs to Mirzan Mahathir, but is currently occupied by his son, who is Dr Mahathir's grandchild.
The estimated RM1.8 million loss mainly involves old jewellery, believed to be personal belongings, along with other valuables.
It is understood that the incident, which took place on Wednesday, was discovered by the victim's domestic helper at around 3pm, who then contacted the family after noticing the rear gate had been cut open and the victim's room had been broken into.
The investigation is ongoing, including reviewing the residence's closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage.

Residence of Tun Mahathir's grandson broken into: Police to review CCTV footage from surrounding areas
According to reports, the residence belonging to the former Prime Minister's grandson was broken into, resulting in the victim losing RM1.8 million worth of jewellery. 28 Jul 2025 02:12pm Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad - Photo by Bernama KUALA LUMPUR - The police will examine the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage from surrounding areas near the residence of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's grandson in Bukit Ledang, here, which was reportedly broken into last Wednesday. Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad said the CCTV system at the residence itself was of limited use as it only retains footage for 24 hours, making it difficult to aid in the ongoing investigation. "The CCTV system at the house was installed in the 1990s and has limited storage capacity,' he told a press conference today. "The incident is believed to have occurred more than 24 hours after the police report was made by the owner of the house, which meant the footage had already been overwritten,' he told a press conference here today. According to Mohamed Usuf, the house is an old house that is rarely visited by Dr Mahathir's grandchildren. "So far, the police have recorded statements from three individuals, namely Dr Mahathir's grandson, a security guard and a maid. The police are also analysing the evidence received, including fingerprints, and this may take some time," he said. According to reports, the residence belonging to the former Prime Minister's grandson was broken into, resulting in the victim losing RM1.8 million worth of jewellery. It is understood that the incident was discovered by the maid at 3 pm last Wednesday after she found the gate at the back of the house had been cut and her employer's room was ransacked. When asked about the case involving singer Shila Amzah, who claimed to have been verbally attacked by another singer, he said the police would record statements from two more witnesses to complete the investigation paper. - BERNAMA

Klang Valley drug syndicate busted with RM4.66m syabu seized
KUALA LUMPUR: Police dismantled a drug trafficking syndicate in the Klang Valley after arresting three men and confiscating 145.68kg of syabu valued at RM4.66 million. The operation, conducted on July 24, led to the seizure of drugs hidden in a car and a rented house in Puncak Jalil. Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad said two Malaysians, aged 32 and 61, and a 34-year-old Indonesian were detained at a shopping centre in Jalan Kuchai Lama. A search of their vehicle uncovered 10.34kg of syabu concealed in a cloth bag inside the boot. Further raids at a double-storey house in Puncak Jalil yielded an additional 135.34kg of the drug packed in 122 plastic packets. 'The total seizure could supply around 728,400 addicts,' said Mohamed Usuf. Investigations revealed the syndicate had rented the Puncak Jalil property since October last year for RM2,000 monthly, using it as a storage hub before distributing drugs locally and to Indonesia. The group is believed to have been active since May, sourcing supplies from overseas. Two of the suspects tested positive for drugs, with one having a prior drug-related warrant. All three have been remanded until July 31 under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. - Bernama
