The family of Mohd. Amin Abdul Adil, a 63-year-old man, is appealing for the public's help in locating him. He has been missing from his home in Flat Sri Penara, Cheras, since Friday evening.
According to his daughter, Elvi, her father left their home around 5:30 p.m. on Friday, stating he was going to a nearby surau. He was last seen wearing a blue kurta and using a walking stick.
We have searched everywhere but could not find him, so a police report was made yesterday at Cheras.
Despite extensive searches by the family, Mohd. Amin has not been found. A police report was filed on Saturday at the Cheras police station. His daughter mentioned that her mother plans to search at the Sri Petaling Mosque, as her father was previously involved with the tabligh community.
Cheras District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd. Rosdi Daud confirmed that a report has been received and that efforts to find the missing individual are underway. The family has provided a contact number, 017-601 3786, for anyone with information.
