KAJANG – Police have resorted to various means to trace the family members of the boy who was found by the roadside near the Cheras Utama Apartments, Batu 9, Cheras here, last Friday.
Kajang district police chief Mohd Zaid Hassan said until now nobody has come forward to claim the boy.
“We have shown pictures of the boy to the community in the area where he was found and also the surrounding areas, but no one recognised him.
“Police also posted a picture of the child in the WhatsApp group of residents and mosques in the area,” he told a press conference after launching Op Selamat 19/13 in conjunction with Chinese New Year at the South Kajang Toll Plaza, Kajang-Seremban Highway, here, today.
He said police had also sought the help of a Myanmar interpreter to communicate with the child, who is about four years old.
“The boy refuses to speak, but he can spell numbers one to 10 in Malay, English and Chinese,” he added.
Zaid urged those with information on the boy or his family to contact police.
The boy, who was found last Friday, has been placed under the care of the Hulu Langat Social Welfare office. – Bernama, January 17, 2023
