Parents urge missing daughter to come home
IPOH: A couple has urged their teenage daughter who failed to return home after work to come back. Lee On Chee, 15, has been missing since Friday. Her mother Lee Keong Kin, 48, said On Chee had only just started working part-time at a drink’s stall at a pasar malam in First Garden here a few days earlier.

“According to her boyfriend, he dropped her off at the junction to our house in Kampung Baru Jelapang at about 1am on Saturday. “The boyfriend said he had not dropped her off in front of the house as he usually did,” the mother told reporters here yesterday. Keong Kin’s third daughter Poi Chee, 19, said the boyfriend had told her after On Chee’s disappearance that she was upset that night as he had tried to break up with her.
Poi Chee said the family was suspicious of the boyfriend’s account of events. The eldest, daughter Wai Meng, 27, said On Chee had sent an SMS to a friend on Saturday morning asking the friend to inform her employer she could not come for work. “The friend tried calling On Chee on her mobile phone this morning and managed to get through, but no one picked up the phone.
“The phone was later switched off,” Wai Meng said. Perak MCA Public Services and Complaints Bureau chief Datuk Lee Kon Yin, who is assisting the family, called on the police to investigate the matter. Anyone with information can contact Lee at 012-5151178 or his office at 05-2536981.
