The woman, who had traveled to Kuala Lumpur on December 20 after a work trip in Japan, accidentally left her carry-on luggage behind at the security checkpoint while in a rush with her driver, Sin Chew Daily reported.
It wasn’t until she reached Singapore that she realised the mistake.
She drove back to KLIA the next day as she was concerned about a USB drive containing her academic research report.
“I first inquired about my luggage at the Lost and Found counter, but the staff had no record of it.
“I then sought help from the airline’s ground staff, who advised me to file a report with the airport police.
“At that moment, I thought it was a hopeless situation as I assumed they would just go through the motions,” she was quoted as saying.
To her surprise, the airport police were quick to act. The officers meticulously reviewed surveillance footage and conducted a thorough search of KLIA.
After five hours of intense efforts, they successfully located her luggage.
She expressed her relief and gratitude: “Their swift response and thorough search not only eased my worries but also demonstrated the high-quality service upheld by KLIA staff.
“This experience strengthened my trust in KLIA’s security measures and the integrity of its staff.
“I extend my heartfelt thanks to the officers (Norazrin, Siri Tharan, Nanjihan, and Amirudi) for their hard work and commitment,” she said.
