The Missing Child

I just came across something interesting at The Star:

The boy, who is believed to be about eight years old, was found loitering on the ground floor of the Bangsar LRT station at about 4pm on Friday.

Brickfields Deputy OCPD Supt Arjunaidi Mohamed said a police team picked up the boy, who was clad in a pair of brown shorts and blue T-shirt, after receiving a tip-off.

“He converses well in Mandarin and Bahasa Malaysia and also speaks a little English but refuses to give his name and address or talk about his family.

“The only thing he has told us is that he is eight years old, but we are not sure of this,'' he added.

Supt Arjunaidi said proprietors of the shops at the LRT station also did not know who the boy was.

“We sent him for a medical check-up and he was found to be all right,'' he said.

He added that there were no marks or bruises to show that he had been abused.

Supt Arjunaidi said all police stations had been alerted but no one had come forward or lodged a missing person's report fitting the boy's description.

He said the boy would be kept at the Brickfields police headquarters for the time being.

I actually spotted the kid around Masjid Jamek on the same day around 2.50 p.m on Friday.

I took one picture around the spot where the kid jumped off moments after he came off from a shuttle bus. He went out but nearly got knocked by a car who horned him as he ran off to the station. Judging from the color of the shirt he was wearing, I guess it must be that kid who ended up in Bangsar later on.
