Semi-paralysed man sets out on crutches to find child
A SEMI-PARALYSED man in Nilai has gone in search of his missing daughter with only his pair of crutches, Harian Metro reported.
The father of five has been distraught since his youngest daughter Nurhidayah Jamalludin, 17, went missing without a trace from their home at Kampung LB Johnson on Friday.
The girl's uncle Mohd Shazali Muhamad, 47, said the teenager was last seen wearing her school uniform and went missing soon after a suspicious-looking car was spotted near her house.
'Her father has been crying since she went missing. Despite his limited mobility and ill health, he left his house on crutches to look for his daughter,' he said.
Mohd Shazali said his family is concerned for Nurhidayah's safety and has lodged a police report on her disappearance.
