KUALA LUMPUR : Taiwanese beauty Lin Chiling lost a Longines watch and other accessories worth a total of 200,000 Taiwan dollars (S$10,000) after her luggage was pried open while she was in Malaysia.
The actress flew in from China aboard a China Airlines flight and arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport at around 10pm local time on Monday. She was in the Malaysian capital to promote her latest film "The Treasure Hunter" in which she stars with Taiwanese singer Jay Chou.
Luggage for business class passengers are usually processed and go through customs ahead of baggage of other passengers. However, Lin's luggage only appeared with her entourage's eight other pieces of luggage almost one hour after her flight touched down.
Lin did not notice anything wrong with her luggage until she got to her hotel room, where she discovered the locks on her luggage had been pried open and damaged. She immediately informed a representative of the local film distributor and got them to contact the customs office.
Lin expressed through her manager that she was a little unhappy about her loss, lamenting that "there were no problems the day before in Beijing but how did (her items) vanish in Malaysia?"
"Chiling has always been very careful. We had no problems even after travelling to so many places yet this time her luggage was the only one out of our nine pieces of luggage that was stolen from," said her manager.
The 35-year-old model-turned-actress who made her movie debut in John Woo's 2008 historical epic "Red Cliff", plays Lan Ting, the love interest of Jay Chou's character Qiao Fei in "The Treasure Hunter".
The pair are in Singapore on December 22 to promote the film about a group of adventurers who race against time to protect an ancient treasure from an international crime syndicate. It is slated to open in theatres on December 31.
