KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The family of Irishman Stephen Warde (pic), who went missing in Malaysia on Jan 1 this year, will stay in the country until they find him.  

Warde's mother, Mary Morrissey, 57, said Thursday (Feb 14) that the last conversation she had with her son was on that day (Jan 1). 

"He texted me and asked for some money. That was the last I heard from him as after that, he did not reply to messages from his siblings or me.

“I have been here for almost four weeks now and will stay here until I find my son," she told Bernama. 

Morrissey, who arrived in Malaysia with five of her children, said besides having an online business, her missing son was a solo traveller and he planned to visit Thailand after Malaysia. 

"I want Stephen to be home safely and we need the police and embassy to be more pro-active in the investigation.

“We talk to the police officer in charge of this case every day but until now, there have been no developments or new leads,” she said.

Morrissey is appealing to those with any information on her son's whereabouts to contact the Dang Wangi district police headquarters at 03-2600 2222, its control centre hotline at 03-2697 7099 or the nearest police station.
