Umar, a retired police superintendent, said he had made several attempts, including using social media, to locate the child, but failed. “I was doing my thing and my phone kept ringing ... got calls from multiple people, asking me what is going on as my name is in the news. They even shared the Facebook post. I thought it was a scam at first.

“I just got back from Malaysia last March and will be back again maybe next year. Uncle Umar said when I am back in Malaysia again, we will go lepak at mamak,” said Kwek, who currently works in the cinema field in Tokyo. “I don’t remember much, but I remember playing near the pool. My parents were about to leave and told me they wanted to go to the shower with my sister.

When he was about 14, Kwek said he wanted to get in touch with Umar but was unable to do so because all the information about the police officer, which was in his mother’s phone was lost.
