A number of shops in Temerloh were looted during and soon after the floods hit the Pahang town, but the thieves and burglars were not looking for food.
Instead, they targeted pricey goods such as computers, drills, and cookers.
According Kwong Wah Daily, a person in-charge at the Super Cowboy Supermarket in Temerloh revealed that more than a hundred business premises in the town were plundered during the floods, including his outlet.
Among those looted were a tyre shop, a fruits wholesaler, a number of coffee shops, a Marrybrown restaurant as well as several 7-Eleven convenience stores.
The most appalling instance was when 30 men armed with knives confronted eight security guards at Super Cowboy and forced them to open the gates into the outlet, Kwong Wah Daily reported.
