A COUPLE allegedly threw towels into the toilet bowl of a hotel room in Ipoh when the housekeeping department refused to provide them with more towels, reported China Press.

The wife was also caught on CCTV throwing wet towels at a Syuen Hotel receptionist, a clip of which had since gone viral on social media.

Hotel director Maggie Ong confirmed that it happened at about 12.30pm on Thursday.

She explained that four towels were provided to each room and the hotel had initially obliged the couple’s request for more.

However, when they asked for extra towels again, the hotel had to turn them down.

According to the daily, the couple kept re­­questing for extra towels and pillows during their stay there.

> Sin Chew Daily reported that a sales promoter at a jewellery store in Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, had sought the help of netizens to look for a woman who allegedly swapped a RM5,000 gold accessory set with a fake one.

According to a post on social media, during the 3pm incident on Dec 6, the woman told the promoter that she had to get her credit card from her car. However, she did not return.

When the promoter went to check on the set, she found it to be fake. As a result, she had to take responsibility and pay for the loss.

The promoter, who is married, said she had just started working recently to help support her family but ended up being a burden to them.

A police report has been lodged.
