IGP: Act fast on reports of minors who go missing
KUALA LUMPUR: Policemen must commence investigations immediately if there is any report of anyone below 18 years missing.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan, who issued this directive, said: “We must act fast. It does not matter if they went to a friend’s house or somewhere without informing their parents or relatives before returning.
“The whole idea is to ensure they are located and found safe. We cannot afford to wait and see if they return before commencing investigations. It might be too late.”
On Sharlinie Mohd Nashar, Musa still hoped the girl would be found unharmed and urged the public to continue providing information about her.
He said police operations were ongoing and there would be no let-up in the search for the girl, who turned five yesterday.
