Worried missing 35-year-old woman..

JOHOR BARU: A family from Kluang here is worried sick after the sudden disappearance of a 35-year-old woman Kareen Kaur.

Retiree Gurmukh Singh Auter Singh, 68, said it was hard for him to even sleep as his youngest daughter Kareen was always on his mind.

He said his daughter, who has a Masters in Computer Science, works as a programmer in Singapore and would usually return home to Kluang via bus or train for the weekend.

“The last time we heard from her was when she called my sister and asked if she could come home on Friday.

“During the brief conversation at around 10pm that day, Kareen sounded a little lost and asked ‘who should I follow’ before hanging up,” he said, adding that subsequent phone calls were unanswered.

“My daughter sometimes suffers from hallucinations but her condition is under control as she is on medication.

“We suspect she did not take her medication the day before she disappeared and may have been confused as to how to return home,” he said.

Gurmukh said that Kareen had never disappeared before and did not usually do things out of the norm.

Kareen’s brother, Edwinder Singh, 38, said the family had lodged a missing persons report both in Singapore and Malaysia.

“I have also visited the bus station, train station and walked along the route that my sister may have taken in hopes of finding her,” he said, adding that the family had also placed posters at the bus station and circulated information on Kareen online.

Edwinder said that Kareen was dressed in an orange top, black pants and was carrying a dark coloured backpack on the day she went missing.

“We urge anyone who has spotted her to call the police or contact us at 014-9139631,” he said.

Meanwhile, Kluang OCPD Asst Comm Abd Majid Mohd Ali confirmed receiving the report and said that the police had already forwarded details, including pictures of Kareen, to the main police system.

“We have no leads as yet but urge those with information to contact the Johor police hotline at 07-2212999 or visit the nearest police station,” he said.
