roadblock

On the 10th of February, Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced that Malaysians will no longer need to carry their driver's license nor they need to display their road tax stickers anymore. This was a move by the ministry and the Road Transport Department (JPJ) to digitalize the core services.
Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/2219/no-more-need-for-displaying-physical-road-tax-and-carrying-your-physical-driving-license">No More Need For Displaying Physical Road Tax &amp; Carrying Your Physical Driving License</a>
With no more need of carrying your physical license or even displaying your road tax, Section 20 of the Road Transport Act which states that motor vehicle licenses must be displayed is now indirectly cancelled.
For those who want to check on their road tax, you can head to the <a href="https://www.jpj.gov.my/en/web/main-site/utama">JPJ website</a> or download the MyJPJ mobile app on the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jpj.jpj_info&amp;pli=1">Google Play Store</a> or the <a href="https://apps.apple.com/my/app/myjpj/id6443821311">Apple Store</a> and get yourself registered for an account.
Driver Intentionally Looks For Roadblock To Test The App out
Typically when we are driving, we&rsquo;d like to avoid all roadblocks at all costs. But for this Tiktok user (<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@namasayahaziq_/video/7199492791712468251">@namasayahaziq_ </a>) this was his chance to try something out as he went around driving to look for a roadblock and try out the new digital road tax feature for himself.

At the start of the video, we saw that his road tax ticker had been removed from his windshield and was placed in his glove box. He then proceeded to drive to a roadblock and got detailed by a JPJ officer.
At the stop, laughter can be heard between the driver and the JPJ officer after he showed the digital road tax via the app. The officer said that he was the first person that they stopped to show their credentials via the app and even praised him before asking his colleagues to check out the new app.
At the time of writing this, the video had gained 950K views and 57.5K likes on the app.
Mixed Reactions From Netizens
When thinking of a few aspects, the implementation of a digital road tax and driving license is pretty good and handy. That is if you have an issue of losing your wallet or have to change your cracked windshield.
But in the comments section of the video, netizens had mixed reactions about the new implementation with opinions stating that a pasted-on-road tax will be more practical and makes it easier for some users.
Meanwhile, some brought up the issue of what would happen when a user was to be detained while using a rental vehicle or when they ran out of battery on their phones.
To add on, there were users who also joked that the chances of us getting a summon for using our phone would be pretty high too.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:

In the end, is the MyJPJ app helpful? Yes, it is. However elderly people may have some difficulty using it if they are unfamiliar with their smartphones.

Man Intentionally Drives To A JPJ Roadblock To Test Out New MyJPJ App

What began as an ordinary late-night drive through the streets of George Town turned into a terrifying ordeal for a young woman, after a confrontation on the road allegedly escalated into a violent and humiliating assault involving a firearm. The alleged assailant? A man bearing the prestigious title of &lsquo;Datuk Seri&rsquo;.
The shocking incident, which unfolded in the early hours of 1 June, has not only sparked public outrage but also raised troubling questions about the ease with which influential individuals in Malaysia obtain and wield firearms &mdash; sometimes, quite literally, against unarmed members of the public.
Pistol Allegedly Shoved Into Victim&rsquo;s Mouth
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/84f4de22c570a414443c17787366f4b3068c576cb58b19213eac4958155a051c" />
According to the police report filed by the 28-year-old victim, the confrontation escalated rapidly and turned violent. The suspect was allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the time. He is said to have brandished a gold-coloured pistol and, in a deeply disturbing act of aggression and humiliation, forced the weapon into the woman's mouth.
He then allegedly pistol-whipped her, using the grip of the firearm to strike her face, causing severe injuries. The suspect also reportedly punched her repeatedly in the face using both the weapon and his bare hands. The victim sustained a broken nose and bruising around her left eye as a result of the attack.
Following the incident, she received emergency treatment at Penang General Hospital before filing a formal complaint with the Northeast District Police at 5.57pm the same day.
Suspect Turns Himself In, Firearm and Licence Confiscated
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e442e5a1e9e24417e70c829343ba4f71cce35bbeb535ad411752c607f4d24202" />
Two days after the violent episode, on 3 June, the suspect turned himself in at the Northeast District Police Headquarters at approximately 9.30am. Police confirmed that he was taken into custody and that a pistol, its magazine, and his licence to possess the weapon and ammunition were seized as part of the investigation.
Northeast District Police Chief, ACP Abdul Rozak Muhammad, confirmed the details in an official statement. The case is being investigated under Section 326 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing grievous hurt using a dangerous weapon, and Section 34 of the Arms Act 1960, which prohibits the use or possession of firearms while intoxicated.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7XhNQ0imwEM?si=GVXL-6S0uuTOf7VT" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Alcohol Allegation Adds Gravity to the Case
While formal toxicology results have not been publicly disclosed, the victim&rsquo;s report stated that the suspect appeared to be drunk during the attack. This allegation, if substantiated, would have significant legal implications under the Arms Act. It also intensifies public concern about the alleged recklessness with which the weapon was used.
The police have not confirmed whether a breathalyser or blood alcohol test was administered when the suspect surrendered.
Firearm Ownership Among VIPs Under Renewed Scrutiny
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1e5b0746df960864cfe48ea3757490aba9513efd4235e41b7a4130575f798d12" />
This case has prompted renewed national debate about how individuals, particularly those with titles or political influence, are granted firearm licences in Malaysia. It is legal for civilians to own firearms under stringent conditions, and licences are typically issued by the Royal Malaysia Police. However, critics argue that enforcement and vetting processes for VIPs may be less rigorous, particularly when titles are self-conferred or awarded through non-governmental channels.
With the suspect in this case holding a &lsquo;Datuk Seri&rsquo; title&mdash;an honorific often associated with social status and influence&mdash;there is rising public scepticism about whether such individuals receive preferential treatment in matters involving the law.
Public Reaction and Calls for Accountability
The brutality of the attack, combined with the apparent misuse of a licensed firearm, has shocked many Malaysians. Social media platforms have been flooded with commentary condemning the incident and demanding accountability, not just for the suspect, but for the system that allows powerful individuals to own deadly weapons.
Legal analysts have pointed out that the outcome of this case could set a precedent for future prosecutions involving firearms and high-profile individuals.
Police Urge Witnesses to Assist Investigation
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e034645964dd4533ff3246b3dadaa1640f73ba635403497f1a7f86311dd96ec8" />
Authorities are continuing their probe and have called on any witnesses or individuals with dashcam footage from the scene to come forward to assist in the investigation. Meanwhile, the victim is said to be cooperating fully with the police.
The suspect remains under investigation, and his remand status has not yet been publicly disclosed. As of now, no charges have been formally filed, but police say the evidence collected so far&mdash;including the weapon, license, and victim&rsquo;s medical records&mdash;will form the basis of the prosecution.
A Case That Reflects Larger Issues
Beyond the immediate legal ramifications, this incident highlights broader issues surrounding road rage, firearm control, alcohol-related violence, and perceived impunity among members of Malaysia&rsquo;s elite.
The public awaits further updates from the authorities, while many hope the case will spur long-overdue reforms in firearm licensing and the treatment of VIPs under the law.

‘Datuk Seri’ Arrested After Allegedly Shoving Pistol Into Woman’s Mouth During Violent Road Rage Incident In Penang

What should have been a moment of celebration for Malaysian fans of South Korean superstar G-Dragon has turned into a firestorm of controversy. The upcoming G-DRAGON 2025 World Tour [&Uuml;bermensch], scheduled for 19 and 20 July 2025 at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil, is now under intense scrutiny following allegations of ticket scalping, insider access, and a lack of transparency from the event organiser, Star Planet Malaysia.
Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/4336/g-dragons-kl-concert-marred-by-scalpers-and-ticketing-chaos-as-malaysian-fans-cry-foul">G-Dragon&rsquo;s KL Concert Marred By Scalpers And Ticketing Chaos As Malaysian Fans Cry Foul</a>
The backlash began shortly after tickets went on pre-sale in late May. Fans quickly raised the alarm over what appeared to be widespread abuse of the purchasing system. Allegations soon surfaced that foreign buyers had successfully bypassed regional restrictions, gaining access to tickets meant for Malaysian fans. The issue snowballed when individuals on social media openly bragged about hoarding hundreds of tickets &mdash; many of which were promptly listed for resale at exorbitant prices.
Official Statement Promises Action: 254 Tickets Cancelled and Re-Released
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c575edb90643a53bee82313c93a80a3d48c7dba79ccecf087deb6665cb6f449b" />
In response to the uproar, Star Planet issued a formal statement assuring the public that it was taking the matter seriously. The organiser claimed that, following an internal investigation, a batch of tickets found to be involved in scalping activities had been identified and subsequently voided.
&ldquo;To ensure fair access for genuine fans, all voided tickets will be re-released for public sale on 6th June 2025 at 2:00 PM,&rdquo; read the statement. In total, 254 tickets will be made available across the two concert dates:
<ul>
<li>19 July 2025:</li>
<ul>
<li>VIP: 81</li>
<li>CAT 1: 23</li>
</ul>
<li>20 July 2025:</li>
<ul>
<li>VVIP: 6</li>
<li>VIP: 82</li>
<li>CAT 1: 34</li>
<li>CAT 2: 28</li>
</ul>
</ul>
The organiser also pledged to continue monitoring all ticket activity and to apply the same strict measures in the event of further scalping discoveries.
Scepticism Over Figures and Perceived Lack of Accountability
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/59542c3a9617af9681005045f6b25fc5d687f2fbfaac3ae6d85de91ba9c5d949" />
Despite the announcement, fans remain sceptical. Many have questioned how only 254 tickets were affected, especially when at least two individuals were seen openly boasting online about securing over 300 tickets between them during both the pre-sale and general sale periods. The mismatch between these claims and the organiser&rsquo;s figures has led to suspicions that the scale of the problem may be larger than disclosed.
Several fans have also pointed out the sheer scale of the venue &mdash; Axiata Arena has a capacity of approximately 16,000. As such, many believe there should be significantly more tickets available or reallocated, especially considering the speed with which tickets sold out during the initial sale.
Allegations of Insider Sales and Unofficial Distribution Channels
Amid the confusion, rumours have spread that a portion of high-demand tickets were distributed internally or to individuals with special connections. Although Star Planet did not directly address this concern, it did attempt to reassure the public, stating in its Facebook post that &ldquo;a substantial portion of tickets were indeed purchased by genuine fans.&rdquo;
The organiser was also quick to deny any affiliations with third-party sellers or unauthorised distributors. It reiterated that BookMyShow is the sole official platform for ticket purchases and warned fans that buying from scalpers or unverified sources could result in denied entry.
&ldquo;We would like to firmly reiterate that the organisers have no affiliation or collaboration with any individuals or unauthorised channels for ticket sales,&rdquo; the statement read. &ldquo;We strongly urge fans not to purchase from scalpers or unauthorised sources &mdash; doing so risks denied entry and undermines fair access for all.&rdquo;
Fans Demand Transparency as Tensions Mount
Social media platforms have since been flooded with calls for greater transparency and accountability. Some fans are demanding a full audit of ticket sales, while others are calling for the release of additional tickets or at least an explanation regarding the low number of reissued seats. Several prominent fan accounts have also called for Star Planet to conduct an external review to restore public trust.
While some concertgoers have accepted the organiser&rsquo;s explanation, many feel that more must be done to ensure fair access, particularly for dedicated fans who lost out due to the scalping fiasco.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:

Will More Tickets Be Released Before the Concert?
As anticipation builds for G-Dragon&rsquo;s return to Malaysia &mdash; one of the most anticipated K-pop events of the year &mdash; the pressure is on for Star Planet to take further action. Fans are hopeful that additional batches of cancelled or returned tickets may still be released before the event, potentially giving another chance to those who missed out.
Whether the organiser&rsquo;s current measures are enough to put concerns to rest remains uncertain. For now, all attention is on the 6th June ticket re-release, which may serve as a litmus test for the organiser&rsquo;s commitment to fairness, transparency, and fan satisfaction.

G-Dragon Concert Organisers Announce New Ticket Sale Date, But Fans Remain Sceptical Over Transparency

AirAsia MOVE, the travel superapp under Capital A Berhad, is facing intense backlash in the Philippines following allegations that it inflated airfares during a time of urgent public need. What was intended to be a seamless travel platform is now under investigation for potential &ldquo;economic sabotage&rdquo;&mdash;a serious criminal offence in the country.
The controversy erupted when several users reported being quoted airfares that were significantly higher than standard prices, particularly for domestic routes. The most widely reported case involved a one-way flight from Manila to Tacloban City, sold through AirAsia MOVE for PHP77,000 (approximately RM5,880)&mdash;almost three times the fare listed on the official Philippine Airlines website.
Bridge Closure Triggers Surge in Air Travel Demand
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/417844df5b2c6c2b56e6d71e8201487ec65a0fb92eb9f83bed60d22bb3c630ea" />
The situation was exacerbated by the partial closure of the San Juanico Bridge, a 2.16-kilometre structure and the primary transport link between the islands of Samar and Leyte. The Philippine government temporarily restricted access to prevent structural deterioration, which in turn led to a surge in air travel demand, as travellers had few other alternatives.
Philippine Transport Secretary Vince Dizon accused AirAsia MOVE of capitalising on the crisis. He shared the experience of Leyte 4th District Representative Richard Gomez, who was charged nearly PHP40,000 (~RM3,053) for a one-way flight from Tacloban to Manila, a route that usually costs around PHP12,000 (~RM916).
In response to mounting public outrage, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) issued a cease-and-desist order against AirAsia MOVE, effectively suspending the platform&rsquo;s operations in the country. Dizon added that the Philippine government would be filing a case of criminal economic sabotage against the company, with further investigations to be carried out by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police&rsquo;s Anti-Cybercrime Group, who have been instructed to restrict access to the app.
AirAsia MOVE: &ldquo;We Do Not Set Prices&rdquo;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/55eb4a16a2014bae420f56ebe8893d08cc8766065a4b7c06bce198b6f86772bf" />
In its defence, AirAsia MOVE has strongly denied any wrongdoing. The platform maintains that it does not manually manipulate or set airfares. Instead, as an Online Travel Agency (OTA), it acts as a digital storefront that displays flight availability and prices as received from authorised upstream suppliers, including third-party aggregators and Global Distribution Systems (GDS).
According to AirAsia MOVE&rsquo;s Chief Executive Officer Nadia Omer, the discrepancies were caused by a technical issue&mdash;specifically, a temporary data synchronisation error with the platform&rsquo;s flight pricing partners.
&ldquo;This technical discrepancy was not isolated to MOVE,&rdquo; Omer said in an official statement. &ldquo;Other booking platforms such as Agoda, Kiwi.com, and Traveloka were also affected by the same pricing issue.&rdquo;
She added that as soon as the issue was identified, AirAsia MOVE took immediate corrective action and reported the matter to its third-party pricing provider for resolution. In addition, the platform has implemented new safeguards to ensure similar issues do not occur in future.
Platform Claims Full Compliance and Cooperation
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/92b7095612ed8c6aedf4151cd82c2a6759bc2777f9f2d70d29d57edd46c88e95" />
AirAsia MOVE has expressed its willingness to work with Philippine regulators and stressed that it has always operated in full compliance with all rules applicable to online travel agencies. The company also welcomed the opportunity to clarify its role and urged authorities to allow due process to take its course.
In a press release, AirAsia MOVE reaffirmed its commitment to fair pricing, consumer protection, and transparency. It described the current controversy as a data-driven misunderstanding rather than any deliberate act of misconduct.
The platform emphasised that it had no incentive to manipulate fares, especially for routes it does not directly operate. Philippine Airlines, the national flag carrier, was the airline involved in the disputed pricing&mdash;indicating that the problem stemmed from third-party listings rather than AirAsia&rsquo;s own flight operations.
Impact on Travellers and Broader Implications
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/abbd334e0bd2a5d325a92750158407c111f2ff80f913576d3a6683c6482f10e2" />
This incident has raised broader concerns about accountability in digital travel platforms, especially those that aggregate flight data from multiple sources. Consumers often assume these platforms offer the best available rates, but price discrepancies&mdash;whether accidental or not&mdash;can severely impact public trust, particularly during times of crisis.
The fact that this issue unfolded during an infrastructure-related transport emergency has only heightened public sentiment. Many Filipinos have expressed frustration on social media, accusing tech companies of exploiting vulnerable travellers for profit. Others have called for tighter regulations and more transparency in how digital travel apps operate and source their fares.
Support for Tourism Despite Setback
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/50a361768b6b16a064773fc10ba9d7c286f57409f1a8fe6fb3586e425d726286" />
Despite the ongoing investigation, AirAsia MOVE highlighted its continued support for the Philippine tourism sector. Since its launch in the country, the platform has facilitated strong growth in domestic bookings, with 85% of demand focused on destinations like Manila, Cebu, and Boracay. The company also claims to have played a key role in boosting international arrivals, citing a 28% year-on-year increase in overseas travel into the Philippines via its platform.
&ldquo;As an ASEAN-focused brand, we remain committed to making regional travel more accessible and affordable,&rdquo; the company stated. &ldquo;We will continue to engage constructively with all relevant authorities and improve our systems for the benefit of all users.&rdquo;
Awaiting Resolution
As of now, there is no word on whether the cease-and-desist order has been lifted. AirAsia MOVE remains offline in the Philippines while investigations continue. The company&rsquo;s future in one of Southeast Asia&rsquo;s key travel markets may depend on the outcome of this case&mdash;and whether it can prove that its pricing discrepancies were indeed the result of technical faults, not predatory intent.

AirAsia MOVE Under Fire In the Philippines Over Alleged Fare Inflation

How much is Debt How much is Flex? B day for Daughter or for herself?
A Malaysian entrepreneur has captured national attention &mdash; and divided opinion &mdash; after throwing a lavish RM1 million birthday party for her 11-year-old daughter. The extravagant celebration, shared across social media platforms, featured luxury gifts and heartfelt messages, but also sparked debate over parenting, privilege, and public displays of wealth.
A Million-Ringgit Surprise
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3162d0e8aa100e7038017ff537ec3913b2029fc2f6c8855e63a974d1d9c46c4e" />
The entrepreneur, identified as Farhana Zahra, went viral after posting a series of videos showcasing an elaborate birthday celebration for her daughter, affectionately called Yaya. The event was marked by pink-themed decorations, formally dressed guests in black attire, and a string of high-value surprises.
Farhana explained that she had intentionally pretended to forget her daughter&rsquo;s birthday in order to create a more dramatic surprise on the day. The party revealed not only a grand setup but an impressive list of gifts that left many viewers stunned.
Among the presents gifted to the young girl were:
<ul>
<li>A brand-new Apple desktop computer</li>
<li>A Rolex watch</li>
<li>A Toyota Vellfire, a luxury MPV</li>
</ul>
Farhana wrote in one of the video captions:
&ldquo;I purposely acted like I forgot her birthday because I had planned everything. Yaya even told me, &lsquo;Mama, I thought you forgot my birthday.&rsquo;&rdquo;
She added:

Lavish Spending or Love on Display?
Farhana&rsquo;s gesture was framed as an act of love for her daughter, whom she claims already has her every wish fulfilled on a near-daily basis. She admitted struggling to decide what to give Yaya on her birthday since there was little left that the child did not already have.
&ldquo;All of Yaya&rsquo;s desires have been granted almost every day. So when her birthday came around, I was truly at a loss for what to give her,&rdquo; Farhana said.
Despite describing the lavish celebration as a &ldquo;small gift&rdquo;, the statement sparked a wave of mixed reactions online.
A Gift for the Former Driver Too
In a separate video, Farhana is also seen surprising her daughter&rsquo;s former driver with a luxury car as a gesture of appreciation, further adding to the extravagance and conversation surrounding the event.

Social Media Reacts: Admiration and Criticism
Online reaction was swift and polarising. While some viewers praised Farhana for her hard work and for going to such lengths to make her child happy, others were far more critical.
Some comments mocked the idea of gifting such expensive items to a child who is far from the legal driving age.
&ldquo;What would a little girl do with a Rolex? Use it during her Barbie tea party?&rdquo; quipped one user.
Others questioned the public sharing of the RM1 million price tag and speculated on Farhana&rsquo;s motives. A few even raised concerns about financial transparency, with jokes about tax evasion and whether the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) should investigate.
&ldquo;She put the car under her daughter&rsquo;s name so her assets can&rsquo;t be seized,&rdquo; speculated one netizen. &ldquo;People like this still get fuel subsidies like RON95,&rdquo; another commented cynically.
More serious concerns were also voiced, particularly around the expectations such extravagant gifts might create for the future. One user warned that raising children with such luxury at an early age could distort their values.
&ldquo;Be prepared &mdash; when you start this big, you&rsquo;ll need to go bigger every year. Not even their friends can keep up,&rdquo; said another comment.
Here&rsquo;s some of the other comments by netizens:

A Mother's Wish for Her Daughter
Despite the backlash, Farhana remained focused on what she described as the core of her celebration &mdash; her daughter's happiness.
In the birthday message shared on TikTok, she wrote:
&ldquo;Happy 11th birthday, Yaya. You&rsquo;re growing up so fast. May your dream of becoming a successful businesswoman come true.&rdquo;
Whether seen as over-the-top indulgence or a heartfelt gesture of motherly love, the viral celebration has undeniably ignited conversations across Malaysia about wealth, parenting, and what it means to show affection in the digital age.

M’sian Entrepreneur Stuns Netizens With RM1 Million Birthday Bash for 11-Year-Old Daughter

A 25-year-old British software engineer has gone missing in Kuala Lumpur after a night out in Bangsar, prompting a desperate search by his family and police in both Malaysia and the UK.
Last Seen at Healy Mac&rsquo;s Irish Bar in Bangsar
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3b7af1c19e76e1c4684a8cf2c73f24bf6e1d154c89f4ed008e2682bf396dc34c" />
Jordan Michael John Johnson-Doyle, from Merseyside, England, was last heard from on the evening of Tuesday, 27 May. At around 8pm, he sent a photograph of a pub quiz poster at Healy Mac&rsquo;s Irish Bar in Bangsar to his best friend, which now marks his final known communication.
Jordan, who has been backpacking solo through Southeast Asia and the Mediterranean for the past 18 months while working remotely for a US-based company, had arrived in Malaysia from Vietnam on 17 May. He was believed to be staying at the Robertson Residences in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur.
Family Raises Alarm After Uncharacteristic Silence
His mother, Leanne Burnett, became alarmed when she didn&rsquo;t hear from him the following day, something she describes as completely out of character. The two last spoke on Monday, 26 May, with no indication of anything amiss.
&ldquo;He always checks in regularly because he knows how worried we get,&rdquo; she told the Daily Mail. &ldquo;If he had lost his phone or laptop, he knows my number by heart. He&rsquo;d go to a hotel or an internet caf&eacute; to get in touch. The silence is just not like him.&rdquo;
Phone Signal Lost After Three Days
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/40661815d7f517ee83d9b5d9170b2826a66c865f1e966a24072c66e1afa15ebe" />
Concerned, Leanne used the Find My iPhone app early on 28 May and saw Jordan&rsquo;s phone last pinged at a block of residential flats near the pub on Jalan Telawi 3. However, the location had not updated for 11 hours. The phone then went completely silent by Friday, 30 May, suggesting it may have either run out of battery or been turned off.
&ldquo;Tracking him throughout the day didn&rsquo;t help &mdash; the location never changed. It was like he just disappeared,&rdquo; she added. &ldquo;We have no idea what has happened, but something is seriously wrong.&rdquo;
Efforts to Locate Jordan Intensify
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a781449d071691f4f681dd1e2e45d29bb29e507886c1fb8b7d0d3cf6f38defb7" />
Leanne has since filed a missing person report with Merseyside Police, the British Consulate, and Malaysian authorities. The British High Commission has confirmed it is supporting the family. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain also told local media that he had asked Kuala Lumpur police to verify the report and initiate further investigations.
On 3 June, Brickfields police confirmed receiving the missing person&rsquo;s report a day earlier. OCPD Assistant Commissioner Ku Mashariman Ku Mahmood urged anyone with information to come forward and contact either their nearest police station or Pantai Police Station chief ASP Khairul Nizam Ramle at +60 14-700 0672. He also advised the public to avoid speculation.
Desperate Plea from Family: &ldquo;We Just Want Him Home&rdquo;
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6e4d0c2d06ec6dd8e6b7d9a54107f29fc15dc472f219a7be1f2829ce002d5ac5" />
Leanne has taken to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/480862776948085/posts/1262706835430338/">social media</a>, posting Jordan&rsquo;s photo and details in local Facebook groups, including &ldquo;Missing Persons in Malaysia &ndash; Sharing is Caring,&rdquo; in hopes of raising awareness. She also provided her contact number (+44 7754 718679) and encouraged anyone with potential leads to reach out via WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re preparing to fly to Malaysia to search for him ourselves. I just want to get over there, find him, and bring him home,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;This is every parent&rsquo;s worst nightmare.&rdquo;
Jordan is described as being 5 feet 11 inches tall, of medium build, with shoulder-length mousy brown hair usually tied in a bun. At the time of his disappearance, he was in Bangsar, a popular nightlife district in Kuala Lumpur.
Call for Public Help
As the search intensifies, both British and Malaysian authorities, along with Jordan&rsquo;s loved ones, are urging the public to assist in any way possible. Whether through sightings, CCTV footage, or conversations overheard on the night of 27 May, even the smallest detail could be crucial in tracing his whereabouts.
Anyone with relevant information is urged to immediately contact the authorities or reach out to Leanne directly. The family remains hopeful that Jordan will be found safe, but as time passes, their concern grows ever deeper.
