British man missing in KL since May 27, UK media reports
PETALING JAYA: A British man, Jordan Johnson-Doyle, 25, has been missing in Kuala Lumpur since last Tuesday (May 27) after his family failed to contact me, the UK Daily Mail has reported.
He was last seen in Healy Mac's Irish Bar in Bangsar at 8pm when he sent his best friend Owen a photograph of the pub's quiz night poster.
The software engineer has been on a solo trip to the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia while working remotely for about a year and a half now.
He arrived in Malaysia on May 17 and was believed to have been staying at Robertson Residences Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur.
Jordan's mother, Leanne Burnett, 44, worried and anxious about bringing him home, said they have been trying to get in touch with him via phone and social media. His phone is said to have gone dead in the city area last Friday.
According to Burnett, based on the 'Find my iPhone' tracking service, the phone was located at a residential flat near the Irish-themed bar last Wednesday.
Leanne had been consistently checking up on her son and the tracking service before she slept and after waking up in the morning.
Leanne had spoken to him on Monday, May 26, talking about their usual work matters and expressed that he sounded normal.
The family has also since contacted the British Consulate and police in Malaysia for assistance. Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel for breaking news alerts and key updates!

Cartier reports some customer data stolen in cyberattack
FILE PHOTO: Visitors look at watch models at the Cartier booth at the Watches and Wonders exhibition in Geneva, Switzerland, April 9, 2024. REUTERS/Pierre Albouy/File Photo ZURICH (Reuters) -Cartier, the luxury jewellery company owned by Richemont had its website hacked and some client data stolen, it told customers according to an email seen by Reuters. The company, whose watches, necklaces and bracelets have been worn by Taylor Swift, Angelina Jolie and Michelle Obama, said "an unauthorised party gained temporary access to our system." "Limited client information", such as names, e-mail addresses and countries, had been obtained, said Cartier in the email sent to customers on Tuesday. "The affected information did not include any passwords, credit card details or other banking information," Cartier said, adding it had since contained the issue. The company said it had further enhanced the protection of its systems and data, as well as informed the relevant authorities, and was also working with "leading external cybersecurity experts." Cartier did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The attack is the latest case of a company being targeted by cyber criminals. British retailer Marks & Spencer said last month a "highly sophisticated and targeted" cyberattack in April will cost it about 300 million pounds ($405 million) in lost profits. French luxury house Dior, owned by LVMH also reported last month that hackers had stolen data from its customers, but insisted no financial data was involved, according to Le Monde newspaper. Fashion brand The North Face, owned by VF Corporation has also emailed some customers, saying it discovered a "small-scale" attack in April this year. The company told customers the hackers used "credential stuffing", trying usernames and passwords stolen from another data breach in the hope customers have reused the credentials across multiple accounts, the BBC said on Tuesday. London department store Harrods also said last month that hackers had attempted to break into its systems, following incidents at Marks & Spencer, and the Co-op Group.

Police Ask Public For Information To Help Locate These Missing Individuals
Reports of missing persons are often linked to broken families, disputes among friends, or, in some cases, circumstances far more sinister than we can imagine. Cases of suspected abduction should never be taken lightly, as swift action can be crucial in saving a life. In recent weeks, the number of missing persons reports has risen at a worrying rate, prompting police to appeal to the public for any information that could aid investigations. The cases range from a girl as young as 14 to tourists who vanished while backpacking across Malaysia. Here are some of the urgent cases currently highlighted by the authorities: 1. Pamela Ling Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh was last seen on 9th April 2025 at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya. What started as a routine attendance as a witness assisting the MACC turned into a full-blown police investigation as reports claimed that the 42-year-old businesswoman was intercepted by three vehicles en route to Putrajaya. The particulars of the case show that Ling and her husband have been under the investigation of the MACC for alleged corruption and money laundering since May 2024. 2. Angel Ho Kha Suen Last seen at Taman Asia Tenggara, Jalan 21/33, Seapark at 2 PM on 15th May 2025, 14-year-old Suen was reported missing on 19th May to authorities and still remains missing to this day. The teenager was described as having fair skin and mixed Chinese-Indian features, 160 centimetres tall, with straight brown hair down to her waist. Authorities are urging members of the public to come forward with any information regarding her whereabouts. 3. Jordan Johnson-Doyle A 25-year-old British tourist, Jordan Johnson-Doyle, was reported missing after a night out at a bar in Bangsar on 27th May 2025. According to The Daily Mail (UK), Johnson-Doyle was on a solo tour of Southeast Asia and had been backpacking across the region prior to his disappearance. His last known location was Healy Mac's Irish Bar in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, where he had reportedly taken part in a pub quiz — as confirmed by a photo he sent to his mother. She added that his 'Find My iPhone' app last pinged at a nearby residential building, but the signal stopped on 30th May, likely when the phone battery died. To report relevant information on these cases, please head over to your nearest police station or call the relevant district police offices to channel information to the authorities. 03-22829813/03-22832222 (Bangsar Police Station), 03-79662222 (Petaling Jaya District Police Headquarters) and 03-88862222 (Putrajaya District Police Headquarters).

Police combing 'vast' area of Portugal's Algarve in Madeleine McCann case
Police officers move a barrier blocking a road as they resume the search for the body of Madeleine McCann, who went missing in the Portuguese Algarve in May 2007, in Atalaia, Portugal, June 3, 2025. REUTERS/Pedro Nunes LAGOS, Portugal (Reuters) -Portuguese and German police on Tuesday launched joint searches of a "vast" area in Portugal's southern Algarve region for new evidence related to the 2007 disappearance of three-year-old British child Madeleine McCann. Portugal's investigative Judicial Police (PJ) had said on Monday they would execute search warrants between June 2 and 6 at the behest of the public prosecutor's office in Germany's Braunschweig, which in 2022 formally identified German national Christian Brueckner as an official suspect in the case. A source involved in the search operation said the targeted area was "vast" with police using ground-penetrating radar across several hectares. Portuguese officers were following instructions from German police under a European Investigation Order. The scale of the searches could be the most extensive since the initial investigation was closed in 2008. Fresh but relatively focused searches were ordered by Portuguese, British and German police of scrubland, wells and reservoirs in 2014, 2020 and 2023. None of these searches were confirmed to have yielded significant evidence. Reuters footage showed uniformed PJ officers on a cordon on a dirt road in Atalaia - a neighbourhood of Lagos municipality - waving through unmarked vans and cars with German license plates from the city of Wiesbaden, where the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has its headquarters. The BKA is assisting Portuguese law enforcement with "criminal procedural measures", Braunschweig prosecutors told Reuters, declining to provide further details. The occupants of one of the German vehicles wore bucket hats, clothing with camouflage patterns and covered their faces with bandanas. A van belonging to Portugal's Maritime Police also arrived. That force has jurisdiction over coastal areas and took part in previous searches of beaches, wells and reservoirs using specialist divers. The road the police cordoned off is located close to a golf course and less than 1 km (0.6 miles) from the beach. The search area was close to a property that Brueckner lived in, a neighbour told Reuters in 2020, though when was unclear. Madeleine went missing on May 3, 2007, while on holiday with her family in the Algarve town of Praia da Luz, sparking a frenzied search and gaining the attention of the world's media. She has never been found. German police said in June 2020 that Madeleine was assumed dead and Brueckner, in his 40s, was probably responsible. He has denied responsibility. Brueckner, a convicted child abuser and drug dealer, is behind bars in Germany for raping a 72-year-old woman in the same area of the Algarve. His sentence runs until September, meaning he is set for release unless prosecutors find enough evidence to charge him over Madeleine's disappearance. On Jan. 17 Sky News quoted the German prosecutor investigating Madeleine's disappearance as saying there was currently no prospect of charges being brought against Brueckner.
