“The victim, who is approximately 170 centimetres tall and fair-skinned, has a distinctive marking in the form of a ‘ship floss’ tattoo on his left shoulder and no Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination scar on his left arm.

“When found, the victim was wearing a dark brown shirt with the word ‘Suppligae’, blue jeans and a Seiko wristwatch with a green strap,” he said in a statement.

Police are urging anyone with relevant information or who may have a missing family member matching the description to come forward.

“Accordingly, any individual who has information or has lost a family member with these characteristics is urged to contact investigating officer Sergeant Major Rosli Mohd Nor at 013-6095744 or to visit the nearest police station to assist in the investigation,” he said.
