was sleeping on the upper floor of the house with his younger brother when they
were awoken around 3am by one of four men who demanded that he followed orders.

and crowbar then woke up five other family members including his father Abdul
Rahim Din, 46, and mother Noryatimah Jamal, 42.
"The four men, one wearing a mask then forced us into the living room and
tied up my hands with the laptop cable and that of my family members with a
sarong.

"However my mother and my three siblings aged 10, three, and one year and
five months were not tied up after one of the men said ''no need to tie her up as
she has small children''.
"They then asked us to surrender our gold but we said we did not have any.
They then ransacked the house for about half an hour and then took my laptop,
six mobile phones and cash of about RM1,000."
According to him, the men after getting the car keys ransacked the interior
of the family''s Toyota Hilux and took another mobile phone from the vehicle.
Mohd Aminudin said the men then left the house in a car with their loot of
about RM10,000 without further harming him or his family members.
"After freeing myself I got on a motorcycle and chased after them as the
laptop contained my college assignments. But after about two kilometeres I saw a
police car and they advised me to leave the area.
"On the way back to my house I heard about four shots being fired," he said,
adding he was thankful and relieved that his family was unhurt and that police
got the culprits except for one who had fled towards a nearby palm oil
plantation but was being hunted down.
