Malaysian producer Datuk Yusof Haslam was unable to hold back his tears while talking about his son, filmmaker Syamsul Yusof, who allegedly hasn't returned home in years.

In an interview with TV3 programme Melodi on Sunday (Oct 29), Yusof said that his last conversation with Syamsul took place over a year ago via phone. He mentioned that his wife, Datin Patimah Ismail, had reached out to Syamsul then when the latter's grandmother fell ill.
