Donors and police appeal for info on child’s whereabouts

PETALING JAYA: A RM17,000 reward has been put up for information on the whereabouts of missing girl Sharlinie Mohd Nashar.

The money was donated by Deputy Tourism Minister Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai (RM5,000), MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong’s company GMH Property Sdn Bhd (RM5,000), a businessman who wished to remain anonymous (RM5,000) and Selangor MCPF vice-president M. Jayabarathi (RM2,000).

Lim had announced a reward on Thursday and the others added to the amount at a press conference at the Petaling Jaya police headquarters yesterday.

Chong said 80% of the kidnapping cases in the country were solved with public help.

Meanwhile, Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohd said anyone with information could call the police station and provide details.

The caller's identity will be kept confidential.

He said police hoped that Sharlinie’s sister, Sharliena, could help in preparing the photofit of a woman whom she claimed had bundled Sharlinie into a car.

Sharliena, who is in trauma, will be taken to the Bukit Aman police headquarters for interrogation if needed.
