One of the greatest concerns that parents can face is the unexpected disappearance of their child, regardless of their age. Sadly, this nightmare has become a reality for a distressed Malaysian mother in search of her 22-year-old daughter.
The young woman, who works as a beautician, went missing shortly after embarking on a solo trip to Chiang Mai. It is suspected by netizens that she may have ended up in Myanmar, raising further worries for her safety and well-being.
In an effort to gather information about her missing daughter, the mother took to Facebook and made a heartfelt appeal for any details that could help locate her. She expressed her concern, revealing that her daughter had already been missing for 24 hours. Chiang Mai, a city situated in northern Thailand, was the last-known location of the 22-year-old.
Mum asking for help to find missing daughter
Through her social media post, the distressed mother shared her contact information and urged anyone with relevant information to reach out to her. Describing the last time she had any communication with her daughter, she mentioned that her daughter’s “last seen” status on WhatsApp was at 10 pm on Thursday, June 1. Since then, her daughter has not responded to any messages or shown any signs of activity.
According to the mother, her daughter is always reachable and her phone is constantly by her side. The lack of response and absence of the blue ticks indicating message read status have only added to the mother’s anxiety. Although her daughter is usually busy with work and does not frequently communicate with her, she would never ignore her mother’s messages.
The missing woman, identified as Ms. Angie Chong Sum Yee (张芯仪), is employed by a direct sales company in Kuala Lumpur. Despite her mother’s concerns and advice against visiting Thailand due to safety concerns, Ms. Chong proceeded with her trip to Chiang Mai alone. She reassured her mother that someone from her company would meet her there.
Photo allegedly used on dating platform
Recent suspicions have emerged regarding the whereabouts of the missing woman. A netizen claimed to have come across her, or someone using her photo, on a dating platform. The individual’s location was stated as Myanmar, which has caused the mother even greater worry. Myanmar is known to have criminal syndicates operating within its borders. These syndicates employ tactics such as luring victims into fraudulent investments, turning them into cyber slaves and scammers against their will.
Concerned netizens have joined forces to assist in finding Ms. Chong. One individual provided a photograph of a hotel in Chiang Mai where the missing woman was believed to have stayed. The mother has sought help from friends and relatives in Thailand to gather more information about the hotel. Unfortunately, there have also been instances of fake news circulating on social media platforms. A graphic falsely claims that the case has been closed, but the truth remains that the daughter is still missing. The mother clarified this misinformation on her Facebook page.
To aid in the search for her missing daughter, the mother has filed police reports in both Malaysia and Thailand. She hopes that compassionate individuals will come forward with any information that could assist the ongoing investigation.
