Sabah, Sarawak police deny child kidnapping claims after viral videos


KOTA KINABALU: Police in Sabah and Sarawak have shot down claims in several viral videos and voice messages that kidnapping of children had purportedly occurred in remote areas in the two states.

Sabah’s Kota Marudu district police chief Supt Zairolnizal Ishak and his counterpart in Sarawak, Simunjan acting OCPD Asst Supt Honchin Ludu both issued separate denials over the videos and voice messages that apparently were taken out of context over police investigations into birds’ nest thefts.
