U give the police too much credit. More like they ask for IC number then just put it somewhere and went out for tea break.
She could have contacted the MFA or even contacted the Airline which would have been able to help way better then our local police. She think local police really that good meh
Seriously pple, when you travel, make sure to note down the local embassy number and the MFA 24hr hotline number. I never realize how important they were until I actually loss my passport, luckily I had a habit of noting those numbers down since I usually travel alone.
