KUALA LUMPUR: An elderly couple fears their 28-year-old son, a coffee powder distributor in Mantin, Negri Sembilan, may have been murdered, after he disappeared from home with a large amount of money.
They last saw Wong Yuen Wei on July 19.
"He left home in his red Perodua Kenari carrying a lot of money.
"We're afraid someone might have robbed and killed him," said the father Wong Wah Thiam, 69, during a press conference at the MCA Public Services and Complaints Department yesterday.
Wah Thiam, who was accompanied by his wife, said his son, who has a thyroid problem, had never been away from home for long periods because he had to take his medication daily.
The couple lodged a police report at the Seremban police station three days after his disappearance.
Meanwhile, in an unrelated incident, the family of 40-year-old Looi Chew Fatt from Kampar, Perak are worried for his safety when he did not return home after his holiday in Thailand last month.
Chew Fatt's brother, Chew Meng, said the last time he heard from his brother was on June 23, two days after he arrived there.
"It's been more than a month and we have not heard from him."
Department head Datuk Michael Chong urged those with information to contact the department at 03-21618044.
