GEORGE TOWN, MALAYSIA - After firing 10 shots and injuring the victim in a brazen attack, two gunmen fled with a bag containing only clothing and mooncakes. They missed their target of RM1.9 million which was in another bag, beside the one they took.
The botched robbery occurred outside the departure hall of Bayan Lepas airport about 9.30am yesterday in which the victim, a 51-year-old moneychanger, suffered three gunshot wounds.
Police media relations officer Superintendent Shahron Anuar Abdul Latif said the victim was shot twice in his legs while another shot grazed his right ear.
Shahron said two gunmen waited in ambush for the victim who was on his way to Singapore. The victim arrived at the airport with the cash inside a security van.
"He was unloading his luggage from the van to a trolley when the robbers, in ski-masks, struck.

Re: Mooncakes anyone ?
Haha this makes me remember when I worked at a construction site in Taiwan...
In the season (mid autumn), each of our subcontractors gave me a couple of boxes with mooncakes and as I did not like these cakes at all, I passed them on to the watchman of the condo where I lived. During appr. one week he got one or two boxes per day from me.
Judging from the quality of the boxes and the luxury wrapping, I am quite sure that these cakes were quite expensive, so the watchman probably still wonders what he had done to deserve such gifts!
