There's still a way to go before police can close the case of the 500 thousand ringgit that was found inside a suitcase.  

Selangor police say an individual claiming to own the money has come forward to have his statement recorded, after missing several appointments.   

According to the Star, cops need to record further statements from the man, including on how he accumulated the cash.  

Earlier reports said the money was found at the parking lot of a shopping mall in Damansara.  

The individual claims that the money was the repayment for a loan he had given to a friend.
