“Aisyah will be sent to the Sungai Buloh Hopsital here for treatment later,” ACP Abdul Rahim said.

Missing toddler reunited with family

 

RAWANG: Three-year-old Wan Aisyah Wan Exzam is now back with her family when she turned up safe and sound at the Sungai Nibong police station in Penang.
She was reported missing three days ago after she was allegedly abducted by her mother’s boyfriend.
Gombak OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Rahim Abdullah said Wan Aisyah, who was last seen at a shopping mall in Rawang, was surrendered by the suspect’s mother in Penang yesterday.
Her alleged abductor is believed to have gone into hiding.
“Wan Aisyah will be sent to the Sungai Buloh Hospital here for a check-up,” ACP Abdul Rahim added.
He said police would record a statement from the suspect’s mother, adding that the case has been classfied as child abduction.
The case begun when Wan Aisyah’s mother Arbaiyah Md Zin had allegedly met the abductor via Facebook in May and started a relationship with him, and even began planning a wedding together.
Despite only knowing the man for a few weeks, Arbaiyah, a divorced mathematics teacher in her 30s, allegedly left her daughter in the man’s care on July 30, as he had told her he wished to introduce Aisyah to his sister.
Police sources said the mother also gave the suspect Aisyah’s birth certificate as the pair were planning to go on a honeymoon with the child after the supposed marriage.
“On Aug 2, the mother also gave RM25,000 to the man for a supposed investment for a gold trading business in a shopping mall in Rawang.
“The following day, Arbaiyah was waiting for the suspect to bring Aisyah home. But he didn’t show up and calls to him went unanswered,” ACP Abdul Rahim said.

Happy ending: A man believed to be Arbaiyah’s ex-husband carrying Wan Aisyah as Arbaiyah follows them outside the Sungai Nibong police station in Penang.

He said the mother also went to the suspect’s supposed house in Taman Tun Dr Ismail in search for her missing daughter but disco­­-vered that the house belonged to someone else.
Meanwhile, Arbaiyah’s colleagues at SMK Sungai Choh said she had moved to Rawang a few weeks ago.
“I’m happy that she has her child back and that both are safe. It is a nice story to hear this close to Hari Raya,” said a school employee.
In GEORGE TOWN, Arbaiyah came with an unidentified man, said to be her ex-husband, to pick up Wan Aisyah at the Sungai Nibong police station at 4.45pm yesterday.
Although she refused to speak to the press, the man said they had bought new clothes for Wan Aishah for Hari Raya.
Arbaiyah was seen covering her face from the press while the man carried Wan Aishah, who was drinking from her milk bottle and oblivious to the attention on her.
The man thanked the police for their cooperation but refused to answer further questions from the media.
Earlier, Penang police took Wan Aisyah from a 66-year-old woman, said to be the mother of the alleged abductor, at the Sungai Nibong police station at 11.30am.
She told police that her son, 44, had brought the girl to her house in Teluk Kumbar for sahur (dawn meal before fasting begins).
He then told her to send the girl to the nearest police station before he went missing.
Penang CID chief Senior Asst Comm Mazlan Kesah said the woman also handed them the girl’s MyKid and birth certificate.
SAC Mazlan said the police had identified the suspect.

CAP: Only the rich can afford Penang homes

Wednesday June 6, 2012 CAP: Only the rich can afford Penang homes

GEORGE TOWN: Many housing projects in Penang are beyond the reach of locals, said the Consumers Association of Penang (CAP). claimed that the upper class and foreigners were being set as a priority for development projects. “As foreigners and expatriates are able to afford homes at higher prices, this disrupts the market and raises land prices beyond what is affordable for locals,” Mohideen said yesterday. Citing the example of the Singapore Housing Development Board, he said Penang’s first priority should be creating good homes for Penangites. Raising his concer n: CAP education field officer N. V. Subbarao protesting against hillslope development projects in Penang. CAP research officer S. Mageswari said the safety of housing projects on hillslopes was not only questionable, but forest clearing was also rampant. “This not only causes erosion but also flash floods and pollution as sediment flows down to the rivers and seas,” she said, claiming that the threat to marine life was also causing an adverse effect on the traditional fishing villages in Permatang Damar Laut, Bayan Lepas, Gertak Sanggul and other places in the south of the island. However, the Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association (Rehda) cautioned that property prices in the island would escalate if there was a ban on housing projects on hillslopes. Such a ban would result in a shortage of supply, said Rehda Penang chairman Datuk Jerry Chan. He was commenting on a call by two non-governmmental organisations to halt hillslope projects. On Monday, a group of CAP and Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) members staged a peaceful protest outside the construction site of a hillslope housing project in Bukit Gambier ahead of World Environment Day yesterday. Chan said it was not true that only foreign investors bought hillslope property as they comprised less than 3% of the buyers in Penang last year. “It is also not true that all hillslope property development projects are high-end schemes. “There are quite a number of affordable projects in Paya Terubong, Relau, Batu Maung and Tanjung Bunga,” he said. Penang Master Builders’ and Building Materials Dealers Association immediate past president Datuk Finn Choong said there were now a variety of new environmentally friendly technologies available to enable development on hillslopes to be carried out safely. http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/6/6/nation/11426214&sec=nation
