HONG KONG celebrity, Grace Lam Nga-Si, live-streamed her experience at a night market in Bentong Walk in Pahang yesterday. Her three-minute long video footage shocked viewers as it ended with a snatch thief grabbing her handbag.

According to a report in Oriental Daily, Lam claimed she checked the surroundings to ensure it was safe before starting her live stream. "Thankfully my manager and local friends managed to help me catch the thief and I recovered my belongings," she said.

However, she clarified on Facebook that there was a misunderstanding over the incident and that it was done for "shooting purposes".

"Thank you for your concern, everyone. What happened at Malaysia yesterday was a misunderstanding. I'm sorry for the incident. If there is anything I've done wrong, I apologise," she posted on Facebook.

That drew the ire of netizens as the staged snatch theft was unacceptable. They demanded that she explained her actions, but her Facebook account has been deactivated.

Sin Chew reported that the police are demanding an explanation from her.
