A Singaporean man died on the spot after being shot four times at close range at a condominium in Johor Baru.
The incident happened at around 10pm on 25 June at the outdoor carpark of block E, Taman Desa Tebrau. The condo is located along Jalan Harmonium near Johor’s Aeon Tebrau City.
The man, Koh Teck Huat, 40, owned an apartment there and was walking towards his car when he was attacked by the gunman. He was shot four times, one of which reportedly went through his eye according to a Shin Min Daily News report.
The police said that the assailants fled in a Singapore-registered vehicle.
After the shooting, a post appeared on the condominium’s Facebook page alleging that Koh was involved in the drug trade and may have been killed over money earned from drugs.
According to a report in The Star, Mr Koh was found with a bag containing various types of drugs, pills and other packed substances were also found in his apartment.
A few shop owners around the area claimed they knew something about the shooting but refused to comment further.
Koh was wearing a red T-shirt with grey pants and was carrying a black bag before he was shot. A security guard at the condominium said he heard four gunshots and by the time he went to take a look, Mr Koh was already lying dead on the ground not far from his car.
The guard said Koh was seen loitering around the area as if he was waiting for someone. A mysterious black MPV was also driving slowly around the premises. The police are now investigating whether the vehicle could have belonged to the gunman.
Koh reportedly owned another apartment in Woodlands, Singapore and drove a Mercedes-Benz in Malaysia.
Neighbours claimed that he spent S$250,000 to buy a unit at the condominium and was living there with his Malaysian girlfriend. The condominium is considered high-end in Johor, with the cheapest unit selling for RM500,000 (S$200,203). It is unknown whether the apartment was registered under Koh’s or his girlfriend’s name.
The police said that Koh recently bought a car for around RM$150,000-170,000 under the name of a Malaysian woman. It is unclear how this woman was related to him.
A few friends of the deceased were present at the condominium, and one of them said he would contact Koh’s family. However, no one picked up the call.
