Authorities seek help to trace mum of three siblings
YAN: The Social Welfare Department is appealing for help to trace the mother of three children who have been under guardianship since they were left behind during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown.
The children — Nurul Ain Abdullah, 16, Muhammad Fazli Abdullah, 14, and Mahathir Abdullah, 12 — were left without identification documents except for birth certificates indicating non-Malaysian citizenship.
Their guardian, Abdul Rahman Abd Rahim, told authorities that the mother, Milah Nurwanto, 47, left the children during the Movement Control Order (MCO) in 2020 and has not been in contact since.
Her last known address was at Taman Desa Makmur in Hulu Langat, Selangor.
Yan Social Welfare Department child protector Zaty Farhany Muhammad Fauzi said the children were currently under a temporary custody order granted under Section 19(2)(b) of the Child Act 2001 (Amendment 2016).
"We have yet to locate the children's mother. We are appealing to members of the public who may have any information to come forward," she said in a statement today.
