PETALING JAYA: A 16-year-old girl has been reported missing here.
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Sharulnizam Ja'afar said they received a missing persons report on the girl, Anis Zulaikha Abdul Azim, at 9.44am on Sunday (April 7).
"Based on our information, she was last seen at her condominium unit in Ara Greens, Ara Damansara here at around 2.30pm on Saturday (April 6)," he said in a statement on Tuesday (April 9).
Those with information on her whereabouts are urged to contact the Petaling Jaya police headquarters operations centre at 03-7966 2222.
When contacted ACP Sharulnizam said the girl is believed to have left home after arguing with her mother.
"On the morning before she went missing, she argued with her mother for not allowing her to use her mobile phone at night and going out with friends.
"Before leaving home, she told her mother she was going out but did not say with whom and where she was going,” he said adding that a domestic helper told the girl’s parents that she was seen carrying a luggage bag when she left home.
He said the girl had told her mother multiple times that she wanted to run away from home because she felt overly controlled.
