JOHOR BARU - Former Singaporean television journalist Rita Zahara will visit Malaysia again despite being involved in a recent extortion and robbery case here.
"This bad experience won't deter me from visiting Johor again. Crime happens anywhere and it is unfair to label Johor and Malaysia as a crime haven. My family and I are not scared to visit again," she said during a press conference by the police to announce the arrest of three men in connection to the case here yesterday.
"I applaud the Malaysian police for their professionalism and how they acted swiftly to nab the suspects within three days," she said.
It was reported that Rita, 37, had stopped her Nissan Sunny to buy some fruits in Jalan Susur Larkin at 12.45am on July 1.
When she returned, the vehicle with her 19-year-old sister, two children aged 11 and six as well as her maid were missing.
When Rita called her sister's mobile phone, the suspect answered and allegedly asked for money in return for her family. The suspect later released the group at a residential area in Ulu Tiram and drove away with the car and valuables inside worth RM200,000 (S$80,176).
Rita said her two young children were, however, still traumatised by the incident.
Earlier, state police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said besides recovering some of Rita's stolen items, police seized a pump gun with three live bullets, two pistols and a fake police emblem.
"The men were nabbed during raids at three separate houses in Felda Ulu Tebrau between 5am and noon on Wednesday," he said.
Along with some of Rita's stolen items, police also recovered two cars a Hyundai Optima and a Proton Perdana which were reported stolen on July 2 and June 25 in Jalan Tebrau and Taman Austin Perdana.
The three men have been remanded until July 10.
