SUBANG JAYA: Police are looking for the owner of a pink-and-white luggage bag filled with over half a million ringgit, which was left at a shopping mall's parking lot.

The bag was handed to police by the mall's security guard at 8am yesterday (March 20).

Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the bag contained RM100, RM50, and RM10 notes.

"We received the report from the security guard, a Malaysian in his 30s, at 8am yesterday," he told reporters today.

Hussein said there were no closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras pointing at the area the bag was left.

The cabin-sized bag was not locked when it was found.

"Anyone who has left this huge amount of money can come to the Petaling Jaya district police headquarters to claim it.

"We believe the money is real, but we will check with Bank Negara Malaysia," he said.
