Missing boy found playing games at Internet cafe

It’s a happy ending for 12-year-old Mohamad Daniel Haiqal Desa who was reported missing on Monday.

Police found the boy playing video games in an Internet cafe in Seberang Jaya at about 10am yesterday.

Central Seberang Prai OCPD Asst Comm Azman Abd Lah said police, acting on a tip-off, went to the cafe.

“Daniel looked fine and we handed him over to his aunt who lives at Flat Desa Wawasan here,” he said.

ACP Azman declined to say where Mohamad Daniel had gone to since being reported missing from his aunt’s flat.

The Year Six pupil from SK Sungai Rambai was believed to have left the flat with some clothes and cash at about 9.30am on Monday and was last seen riding a bicycle.

Following his disappearance, police set up a task force to look for him and had combed several areas where he frequented.

It was not the first time Mohamed Daniel, who is the second of three siblings, had disappeared from home.

Teen sisters fail to come home

Have you seen them ?

Two teenage sisters have been missing for more than four days and their anguished parents are worried that they may have been abducted.

Chen Poh Choo, 15, and her sister Poh Fong, 13, were last seen by their mother Lee Lay Ching at noon on Wednesday before they walked to school from their home in Pandamaran Jaya.

However, teachers later told the parents that the girls, in Form Two and Remove Class respectively, never made it to class.

“I was worried because they usually get home by 7pm. When my husband got home at about 8pm, we went searching around the school and also looked up their friends,” said housewife Lee, 35.

She said the girls usually walked to their school, SM Pandamaran Jaya, which is only 10 minutes away.

Lee and her husband Chen Fook Chai lodged a police report at 12.30am on Thursday after failing to locate the girls.

The 1Malaysia Petaling Jaya Service Team, launched last year by a group of MCA members, went down to the ground to distribute A4-sized posters of six-year-old William Yau Zhen Zhong, who has gone missing for almost a week.

Student Michelle Ng, who saw the group distributing the flyers on the child at the SS2 commercial area here, quickly whipped out her iPhone and took photographs of the poster.

She said she would pass it on to her family and friends via her Facebook and Twitter accounts as well as on her WhatsApp instant messaging application.

“I hope he is found safe and well soon,” said the 20-year-old, who felt sad the boy has been without his family for six days.

Students A. Joycee and K. Lilavathy expressed their worry over the boy's wellbeing, while postman Mohd Sanusi Mustapha said he would keep a lookout for William.

“I saw the news on TV. I cannot imagine the heartache and worry his parents are going through right now,” he said.

Onking Chain Store (M) Sdn Bhd salesman Kelvin Beah said the mother Goh Ying Ying, 26, had come to the shop in Putra Heights on Wednesday and then left about 10 minutes later.

“She returned shortly after, crying and asking me whether I had seen her son. I said I had not,” he said, adding that he then helped her to scour the area for the boy.

“I was on a motorcycle with another supervisor and we searched the entire area for William but he was nowhere to be found,” he said.

Beah said that from their CCTV recording, there was no sign of William entering the store, which was only a few metres away from the parked car.

Police scrutinising footage in hopes of finding clues to William’s disappearance

Police are poring over CCTV footage recorded from several locations in and around the area where six-year-old William Yau Zhen Zhong went missing.

Subang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Yahaya Ramli said so far, there had been no CCTV footage of William although they had collected a recording from a restaurant near the electrical store where the boy was last seen.

“In that footage, the boy is not seen. But we will be taking a closer look at the footage in the hopes of finding an image of a small boy in a car or whatever, which can give us a lead to work on.

“Similarly, we will examine CCTV footage obtained from toll booths after 8.30pm on the day of his disappearance,” he said.

Admitting that this was a time-consuming process, ACP Yahaya said the police were however committed to this task as every minute counted in the search for William.

On Wednesday, William who is 110cm tall with an old scar mark on his right elbow was reported missing in Jalan Putra Mahkota, Putra Heights, near here after he came out of his family car to look for his parents.

Wanita Umno has joined in the search for missing 6-year-old William Yau Zhen Zhong with its 22,000 branches nationwide distributing pamphlets and flyers.

Before that, the MCA Public Services and Complaints Department offered a reward of RM20,000 to anyone with information leading to Zhen Zhong's whereabouts.

Wanita Umno president Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil issued the directive to all branches yesterday, especially those in Perlis and Johor, to ensure sufficient distribution of the flyers, in case irresponsible parties attempted to take Zhen Zhong out of Malaysia.
