JOHOR BARU: A family here is appealing for public assistance after their patriarch went missing three weeks ago after going out for a walk at their apartment in Kuala Lumpur. Koh Soh Chin, 48, said that her father-in-law, Lai Heng Chong, 84, was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and his condition deteriorated since the movement control order started. She added that the family allowed Lai to go for his walk, and she had handed him an umbrella as it was raining. Koh also said that her neighbour, who works as an e-hailing driver, offered to help search for Lai, and even alerted other e-hailing drivers around Cheras and Pandan Jaya. Meanwhile, Chua urged for help from the public and said those with information can contact him via the MCA Facebook page or his personal Facebook page (Chua Jian Boon).
