KUALA LUMPUR - Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has become the latest victim of robbers when his home was hit on Saturday afternoon.
Three men scaled the wall of the bungalow in Jalan Setiabistari, Bukit Damansara, at about 5.30pm before breaking in through the front door.
Khairy and his wife, who live in the house which belongs to his mother, were not in when the robbers struck.
The only person in the house was a maid, who said the three men ransacked the place, including the master bedroom where most of the valuables were kept.
The robbers took off with several laptop compu*ters, watches and other expensive items.
City CID chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Ku Chin Wah said police were trying to find out the total number of items taken away.
"There have been no arrests yet. We are probing all angles for the robbery," he said.
Khairy, who also confirmed the robbery on his Facebook page yesterday, thanked family members and friends who offered words of kindness.
"Thankfully no one was hurt and I leave the matter in the hands of the police.
"This incident is a reminder to us all that crime is a serious problem in our country.
"It is a real issue and not just merely a perception," he said, urging other victims of crimes to stay strong.
He also urged everyone to keep their families and themselves safe.
