S'POREANS IN TOUR BUS THAT CRASHES NEAR GENTING HIGHLANDS SAY THEIR VALUABLES WENT MISSING AFTER THEY WERE RESCUED BY PASSERS-BY

Blood flowed from his head as passers-by pulled him from the tour bus after it crashed and flipped on its side near Genting Highlands in Malaysia.
Mr William Wee, 52, was drifting in and out of consciousness, but all he thought about was his wife.
He was soon reunited with his wife, who was also pulled out of the bus. She, too, was badly injured.
As they lay on the ground near the wreck, Mr Wee realised that his wife was no longer wearing her jewellery.
Then he remembered that his Galaxy Note 5 and Sony Xperia smartphones, and his wife's Samsung, were still on the bus. But when he went back into the bus to look for them, they were missing.
The security manager told The New Paper yesterday: "I don't know where everything had gone, but when my wife was dragged out, her gold necklace and bracelet were missing."
He also tried looking for his luggage, where he had kept his wallet containing $350 and RM1,500 (S$500), but it was nowhere in sight.
"We never found our luggage or phones," said Mr Wee, who later reported the loss to Malaysian police.
He had kept his and his wife's passports in his sling pack.
Mr Wee said he was confused after the crash, but noticed about a dozen people entering the bus to help pull injured passengers out of the wreck.
He also saw them standing around in the accident area, but they had vanished by the time the authorities arrived. He suspected that one or more of the bystanders could have stolen his valuables.
