MELAKA: Police received a missing person report following the disappearance of social media influencer who is also known as Boss Mario, after leaving Pantai Klebang here early on Friday (Feb 2) morning.
Melaka Tengah district police chief assistant commissioner Christopher Patit said the disappearance of Yew Boon Xiang, 30, who resides in Semabok, was reported by his brother at the Batang Tiga Police Station at 9.35pm on Friday.
He said the report was lodged by his brother when Boss Mario did not answer phone calls when the man arrived at the phone shop in Melaka Central at 8am on Friday.

Therefore, he urged the public with information about the case to report to the nearest police station.
