SINGAPORE – In need of cash, actor-singer Mohamad Aliff Aziz opened an Indonesian actress’s handbag in her hotel room while she was resting to steal $300 and one million rupiah (S$94) in cash from her.
The 29-year-old Singaporean pleaded guilty on Friday (Aug 7) to one count each of theft and behaving in a disorderly manner in public. A second theft charge will be considered during sentencing.
This was not his first brush with the law. In 2014, he was fined $2,000 for stealing two mobile phones.
In the current case, Aliff had met Ms Raja Yunika Perdhana Putri, 32, in her room at the Studio M hotel in Nanson Road near Havelock Road at around midnight on June 7 last year to discuss how she could help further his singing career in Indonesia.
At around 1am, Ms Raja Yunika went to the second storey of her room to rest, leaving her handbag near Aliff. He opened it, took the money and left the room.
She woke up about two hours later and phoned Aliff after noticing that her money was missing.
He denied stealing the cash and she lodged a police report later that day.
