POLICE have recorded the statements of three individuals, including a school headmaster, to assist in a probe into the disappearance of early schooling financial assistance totalling RM109,000, which was withdrawn from a bank in Semenyih on Monday.

Acting Selangor police chief S. Sasikala Devi said the two individuals were a teacher and an employee of the restaurant where the complainant (headmaster) bought drinks at the time of the incident.

“Apart from these three individuals, police will also call bank employees. We do not rule out the possibility of insider involvement. However, investigation has yet to yield any clues,” he said in a press conference at the Sungai Buloh district police headquarters today.

He said the incident also could not be detected by close-circuit television camera footage at the location.

On Monday, it was reported a school headmaster lost RM109,000 in school aid allocated for a school in Beranang, Selangor, when it was stolen from his car.

The money was earlier withdrawn by the headmaster from a bank and placed in a bag in the front passenger seat of his car while he went to a nearby shop to buy a drink. – Bernama, January 19, 2023.
