Kuala Lumpur, 15th February 2024 - On average, two children under 18 went missing in Malaysia every day from 2021 to 2023. But thanks to police action, most were located or returned home on their own.
Assistant Director of Bukit Aman Sexual, Women and Child Investigations Division (D11), ACP Siti Kamsiah Hassan told The Sun police managed to find 709 missing children out of 779 reported cases last year.
She said most of the children reported missing left home after disagreements with family members, or the influence of friends or partners prompting them to be ‘independent’. However, they typically returned home of their own free will after realising their mistake.
"The efforts of parents, families and the local community in locating and assisting them also helped police ensure their safe return,” she said.
