M’sian Girl Goes Missing in Setapak After Telling Her Mum That She’s Leaving Home To Look For A Job

Yesterday (6 April), a Facebook page known as 雪州网 MySelangor shared the news of a girl who went missing a couple of days back. The girl, Chia Min Yong, who is only 22-years-old could not be contacted after meeting a client on Tuesday (5 April) and at the time of writing, her whereabouts are still unknown.

Prior to her disappearance, Min Yong, who is from Setapak and works as an insurance broker texted her mother and her boyfriend and revealed that her job has been tough in recent months. In fact, the money that she has been spending on the family recently was borrowed from someone unspecified.

She told her mother that she will be in Johor Bahru for a few days to look for a new job and reminded her mother to not contact her as she has packed her items, including her passport.

“I’m a grown up, please be like dad and give me my freedom. I found a better job with a higher pay and I will let you know once I have settled down,” Min Yong said.

She also apologised to her mother for leaving the house out of a sudden and assured her that she will take good care of herself.

“I know if I were to call you, you would’ve scolded me. I’ll shut my phone off for now and I’ll talk to you soon. I love you, mommy.”

Min Yong’s boyfriend, who was interviewed by China Press revealed that her disappearance was shocking as she had not acted differently before she was unreachable. It is also revealed that Min Yong has not received her paycheck for the last 2 months which has caused her immense pressure.

“She would’ve talked to her family about her problems regardless how tough it was for her.”

He also said that they decided to lodge a police report after her boyfriend managed to detect her location through an application after Min Yong had stayed idle for about 5 hours. However, the police could not find any records of her leaving the country. As of 12 am yesterday (6 April), the police managed to spot her car somewhere in Setapak.

CCTV recordings have shown that a girl, suspected to be Min Yong had checked in at a hotel nearby. Her identity, however, could not be confirmed as the girl in the CCTV recording was wearing a mask.

If you have any information regarding this matter, do reach out to the police or the family at 0163501393 (Lucas) or 0126388570 (Minnie).
