Missing Boy - Parents need public help

MUHAMMAD Nazrin, who has been missing since Saturday, took the escalator down from the second floor of the Sogo complex alone before exiting the shopping centre and wandered towards Jalan Raja Laut.
The movement of the fiveyear- old boy on the ill-fated day was captured by the shopping complex’s closed circuit television cameras.
Yin was filmed playing at the escalator on the second floor where the men’s department was located.
He then followed the crowd and took the escalator to the ground floor.
Moments later, he exited the complex on his own.
The 17-minute footage of Yin in the complex was shown to his father, Shamsul Ghazali Shamsuddin, at the Sogo security office by the administration of the complex yesterday.
Yin’s movement was recorded between 2.48pm and 3.05pm on Saturday.
“I was called by the security department to confirm that the boy in the footage was my son.
“I will view the footage again tonight and tomorrow morning,” Shamsul told The Malay Mail at his sister-in-law’s house in Hulu Langat yesterday.
“The footage showed him playing at the second floor escalator near the men’s department.
“I was told that Yin was seen walking out of the complex, heading towards Jalan Raja Laut,” said Shamsul.
Sogo’s security department is also conducting an investigation to help find Yin.
“I hope the CCTV footage will shed some light on Yin’s whereabouts.
There could be clues from the footage that could help police find him,” said Shamsul, who has been having sleepless nights since Yin’s disappearance.
Sogo’s security officers spent eight hours on Sunday reviewing the tapes but failed to spot Yin.
Shamsul then sought police permission to view the footage as he would be able to recognise Yin.
Yin was with Shamsul in the men’s department on the second floor when he disappeared.
Shamsul, a 34-year-old bank officer from Medan Klebang Restu, Chemor, Perak, visited the complex with his 25-yearold wife and another son, Mohd Nazmi, aged four.
Apparently, this was not the first time Yin had gone missing.
The last time was at the Tesco supermarket in Ipoh.
Shamsul had offered a reward for information on Yin.
The public can contact him at 012-5090451 or call nearest police station.
Yin is about 100cm tall and was last seen in a grey-boxed short sleeved shirt and a pair of blue jeans.
He has a crew cut.
