THE mother of missing six-year-old Albertine Leo Jia Hui has appealed to the public not to spread false information about her daughter's whereabouts, as this could hinder the search efforts.
Leo Qieo Xin, 37, mentioned that since reports of her missing daughter went viral, false information and rumours have been posted on social media about her disappearance.
"Too much information and so-called sightings are being posted on social media. This will affect the police search for my daughter. So please stop spreading false information," she was quoted as saying in The Star.
Albertine was reported missing during the Bon Odori Japanese festival at Eco Galleria in Iskandar Puteri, Johor Baru, at around 8.30 pm last Saturday. She is about 120cm tall, has long hair, and was last seen wearing shorts and a white T-shirt with a Mickey Mouse print on the front.
Claims that the girl was seen at the Johor Baru Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine Complex have been circulating on social media, sparking concerns that she might have been taken out of Malaysia.
According to reports, Qieo Xin said she is "worried sick" about her missing daughter and hopes she will be found safe soon. Qieo Xin, from Kluang, was working as a festival booth operator in Eco Galleria and was busy tending to customers before noticing that her daughter had gone missing. – July 22, 2024
