2007 08: Friendly girl missing for past week

The Star Online. News. Nation. Monday August 27, 2007

KUALA LUMPUR: Eight-year-old Nurin Jazlin Jazimin’s friendly character could be a reason why she has been missing from home for the past week.

Her father Jazimin Abd Jalil, 33, said she could have followed someone whom she recognised.

“Whoever it was, please bring my daughter back. My wife and I cannot take this torture anymore,” Jazimin said at his home in Wangsa Maju here yesterday.

Nurin, a Year Two pupil of SK Desa Setapak, did not return home after going to the night market near the flats at 8.30pm last Monday. She was wearing a pink dress.

Jazimin said Nurin suffered from a kidney problem and high blood pressure and needed her daily medication.

“Otherwise her body will bloat up,” the taxi driver said.

Her mother Norazian Bistaman, 35, allowed Nurin, the second of four daughters, to go alone as the night market is near their home.

Deputy Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Zainal Abidin Osman urged those with information to contact the family at 019-366 7067 or 013- 248 6651 or the UMNO youth public complaints bureau at 019-325 5886 or 03- 40441199.

The Star Online. News. Nation. Thursday August 30, 2007

KUALA LUMPUR: Eight-year-old Nurin Jazlin Jazimin, who has been missing since Aug 22, was seen being pulled into a van near a pasar malam in Wangsa Maju where she had gone.

Sources said that a neighbour’s daughter had seen a man, believed to be in his early 20s, standing outside a van and later pulling Nurin into the vehicle.

Nurin is said to have resisted and overheard saying tak nak, tak nak (no, no).

Sentul OCPD Asst Comm K. Kumaran confirmed that police had received such information.

“We are now investigating,'' he said, adding that police had several leads to work on.

Police have classified the case under Section 363 of the Penal Code for kidnapping from lawful guardianship.

Nurin, a Year Two pupil of SK Desa Setapak, failed to return home after going to the pasar malam alone at 8.30pm that day.

The girl, the second among four children, usually visited the area with her elder sister, aged nine.

Her mother Norazian Bistaman, 35, allowed her to go on her own to the pasar malam as it was close to their flat.
