HONG KONG: He boarded a Hong Kong Airlines (HKA) flight for Osaka with a stack of notes totalling HK$50,000 (S$6,350) in his bag. But hours later, he arrived in Japan with only HK$1,500 of the money left.
A Hong Kong man identified by only his surname, Chow, told Sing Tao Daily that he was travelling with his girlfriend and a family member on a red-eye flight from the Chinese city to Osaka when someone stealthily replaced his money with Indonesian rupiah on the plane.
