Over 4,400 children reported missing since 2017, says deputy home minister

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 11 — A total of 4,471 cases of missing children aged 18 and under were reported from 2017 to Sept 1 this year, said Deputy Home Minister I Datuk Seri Ismail Mohamed Said.

As for the cases of missing persons aged 18 and above, he said a total of 6,074 cases were reported in the same period with 4,871 found while 1,203 people were still missing. Ismail was responding to a question from Senator Datuk Koh Nai Kwong who had asked for statistics involving missing persons reported in the last five years, and steps taken by the government to address the problem.

“PDRM also collaborates with various parties in organising awareness programmes to prevent cases like these from recurring. The Child Awareness Campaign aims to provide awareness to the community that children are vulnerable and why it is important to ensure their safety,” he said.
