29/06/2010 A 14-year-old girl who ran away on Fathers Day has been found in Malacca after a passer-by recognised her from several newspaper reports published last Thursday. Welder Wong Foo Cheong, 52, said his daughter Kah Lai told him that she had run away from their home in Jalan Lumba Kuda here because she wanted to look for a job in Malacca.“I am grateful that my daughter is safe and am very thankful that no harm has come upon her,” he said.Wong said his daughter had promised not to run away again. He also thanked the press for highlighting his daughter’s disappearance, without which he would not have been able to find her.
Stulang assemblyman Mok Chek Hou said a passer-by had noticed the girl and alerted him and the authorities of her location.
