A wiring technician was left distraught after his sling bag containing his newly received salary was stolen by an unidentified individual at a construction storage site along Jalan Meru Tambahan, Klang, on Monday.
The victim, a 24-year-old local man, reportedly suffered losses of around RM400 following the incident.
