KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysian police are cooperating with their Thai counterparts to detect Chong Sum Yee, a Malaysian who was reported missing in Chiang Mai, Thailand since June 1.
Federal Malaysian police secretary Datuk Noorsiah Saaduddin said they received a report on the missing woman by her mother Chee Choy Wen on June 2.
“Efforts to trace the victim are being carried out by Thai police through the assistance of international police, Malaysian police, and the authorities in Thailand and Myanmar,” she said in a statement here today.
Yesterday, it was reported that Chong left for Chiang Mai on May 29 and travelled 250km to the northern district of Mae Said in the province of Chiang Rai, Thailand.
The location is near the town of Tachilek in Myanmar in which cases of human trafficking had been reported.
Chong was last contacted by her family on June 1 at 10.30am local time.
The woman’s mother said her daughter told her she was in Thailand on work matters but this was denied by her employer. – Bernama, June 7, 2023
