Elderly woman missing after leaving house

KAJANG: An 83-year-old woman who was last seen leaving her house in Batu 9, Cheras on Monday has gone missing, her family said.

Lam Ah Lan had reportedly left the family home in Taman Megah at around 7am on that day.

Her daughter, Christine Liew, 44, said: “I heard my mother getting up and doing some chores.

“I did not think much of it at the time as my mother likes to keep herself occupied.”

The last she heard of her mother was when Lam opened the front gate of the house, said Liew yesterday.

The family lodged a police report on Tuesday after they searched for her in vain in the neighbourhood and nearby areas.

Kajang OCPD Ass Comm Abdul Rashid Abdul Wahab said the matter was being investigated as a missing person's case.

Those with information on Lam's whereabouts can call 016-3986 268 (Christine) or 012-3155 442 (Annie) or contact the nearest police station.
