Aside from keeping one’s money at the bank, some may opt to store their cash and valuables inside a safe as it requires one to key in the password before gaining access to it.
Unfortunately for a local businesswoman, a safe became her financial undoing after a group of burglars broke into her home and ran off with a safe containing items worth millions of Ringgit.
