“Then I hugged her and told her to follow me home and we brought her out of the house. Nobody tried to stop us,” a relieved Asmah said at her Taman Kota Kenari home yesterday.
She added that some strangers approached her at her house on Wednesday night to inform her of her daughter’s whereabouts.
On Wednesday, the Kulim/Bandar Baru MCA service team distributed about 200 photographs of Nor Amira in Padang Serai town and here in a move to help locate her.
It was reported earlier that Nor Amira was abducted while waiting for her mother to pick her up from a Quran reading class in Taman Kenari on Dec 3.

Kulim acting OCPD Deputy Supt Ghuzlan Salleh said that police picked up a 40-year-old man at about 9am in Kulim town yesterday.
Police also took statements from Nor Amira and her mother.
“Although Nor Amira appeared traumatised, she has not been physically hurt or abused,” he said.
“We are not certain about the motive for the kidnapping but will be recording statements from a few more people.”
