This isn’t the first time Tan has had such rough luck while travelling. 

In Mar. 2020, Tan had his phone stolen while on holiday in Bali.

While travelling via his motorbike, he was ambushed by four robbers who were on two motorbikes themselves.

One of the men grabbed Tan's phone and fled.

The actor said he sped up to give chase but his friend stopped him from taking things further.
