A Taiwanese national visiting Singapore has alleged that $3,000 was stolen from his room at Village Hotel Sentosa on Oct 17.
In a Threads post on the same day, @yang.house.tw says that he checked into the hotel on Oct 16 and left the cash in a plastic money pouch from Marina Bay Sands on the table before heading out to Universal Studios.
It is unclear when he returned and at what time the money was taken from the room, but the man claims that it was stolen by a young Chinese female housekeeper, the day after he checked in.
He adds that he felt helpless when the hotel manager said it was impossible that the staff would steal the money and directed him to search the rubbish bins, which he says he did until the police arrived.
Yang.house.tw claims that after a search, the police found the pouch on the woman, and that she denied any involvement.
