‘No detail is too small': Kuching mother seeks public help, information to find husband who vanished in China nine years ago

Malay Mail6 hours ago

KUCHING, June 9 — A mother of five is seeking public help to locate the whereabouts of her husband, who left for China in 2016 for greener pastures.
Identified as Kho, she told Democratic Action Party (DAP) Sarawak publicity secretary Michael Kong that her last contact with her husband Tang Thiew Hing was when he arrived in Shenzhen.
'I have been raising our children alone after losing contact with my husband several years ago,' she said during a recent meeting with Kong at his office here.
According to Kho, Tang had gone to China in the hope of securing better job opportunities to support their family.
She told Kong that the family has been trying to locate Tang all these years but to no avail.
'Understandably, Madam Kho is deeply concerned for his safety and well-being. With no closure and growing responsibilities as the sole caregiver to their children, she is now seeking any help that may lead to tracing her husband's whereabouts,' he said in a statement yesterday
He added this was not just about seeking answers but giving a family hope and potentially a reunion after years of uncertainty and silence.
Kong thus appealed to anyone who may have information about Tang to come forward.
'No detail is too small. Your help could mean the world to this struggling family. If you have lost contact with a loved one overseas or know someone who has, we encourage you to file a police report and also reach out to your nearest consulate or community service centre for support.
'Time is crucial in such cases, and early reporting can make a significant difference,' he said.
Individuals who have information about Tang are advised to call Kong on 019-8199191.
It was informed that Tang was born in 1972 in Kuching, and that his parents and an elder sister are deceased. — The Borneo Post

Gerik crash: Banknote bouquet was Muhammad Adib Hazim Halim's final birthday gift to his mum, says brother

GERIK, June 9 — A bouquet of flowers crafted from banknotes, lovingly arranged as a birthday gift for his mother, became the final present from Muhammad Adib Hazim Halim, 21, before he perished in the tragic crash along the East-West Highway (JRTB) at Banun, Gerik, early this morning. According to his elder brother, Muhammad Aiman Hazman Halim, 32, the bouquet was a token of love for their mother, Rus Lina Abd Razak, 69, in conjunction with her birthday celebration held with the family on Sunday. 'Adib really enjoyed creating decorative crafts. Previously, he also made a bouquet for our sister when she completed her Suksis training,' he said when met at the Forensics Unit of Gerik Hospital. Muhammad Aiman said Adib was a devoted son, a memoriser of the Quran (tahfiz), and dearly loved by all his siblings. He said the family learned about the accident after seeing viral images of the crash circulating on social media. 'Before the incident, ummi (our mother) had taken a photo of the bus Adib boarded and shared it in our family WhatsApp group. So, when we saw the viral photos, we immediately knew Adib was involved in the accident. 'Ummi also cried quietly in her room before her birthday celebration without knowing why she felt overwhelmed with emotion — she never imagined this would be the reason,' he said. The funeral prayer for Muhammad Adib Hazim, a Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) sutdent, will be held at the surau of Kampung Pasir Badak, Besut, Terengganu and he will be laid to rest at the nearby cemetery. In the crash that around 1.10 am, 15 UPSI students were killed after the chartered bus they were travelling in from Jerteh, Terengganu to Tanjung Malim, Perak overturned in a collision with a Perodua Alza MPV on the JRTB near Tasik Banding, Perak. The crash also left 33 others injured, including the bus driver and co-driver, as well as the driver and three passengers of the Alza. — Bernama
