PETALING JAYA: Numerous keepsakes with a special meaning to Subramaniam Harihar, 79, have been stolen after his house was broken into four times in the past three weeks.

The veteran journalist has been left heartbroken and traumatised after valuables like silverware, brass lamps, watches and other items worth more than RM100,000 were lost during the multiple break-ins at his home here.

"These items hold sentimental value to me as they remind me of my wife and my various travels for work as a foreign correspondent."My sister is in the hospital as she is unwell and I have been experiencing breathing difficulties due to pulmonary fibrosis. The house was said to be in disarray as the thieves broke cupboards, removed clothes from shelves, and emptied drawers."They stole six watches that were dear to me," he said.

He said he would no longer be able to go back to the house and live there as it gives him anxiety even thinking about being inside."These valuables were collected together, and things that were passed down to us.
