Thanksgiving kenduri for Yin

The Myanmar couple who returned Yin will be rewarded.

My brother, Shamsul Ghazali Shamsudin, criticised as being ungrateful to the couple who had sheltered his son, said he will reward them for returning the boy to the family.

“It will be things like kitchen utensils and a bit of money – something we can afford,” Shamsul said.

“The fact remains that they returned Yin. The little reward would, at least, serve the couple’s five children,” he said at a thanksgiving kenduri at my homevillage in Kampung Kelimat, Felda Lasah, Sungai Siput (N), Perak.

Our family & relative has hosted first thanksgiving kenduri at our relative’s home in Taman Setia Warisan, Kampung Melayu Subang, secondly at their newbuy house in Bandar Seri Permaisuri in Cheras, and at the New Straits Times Press office in Bangsar. This is the fourth thanksgiving kenduri and it organized by my parents & our family members.

My brother also plans to make one more thanksgiving kenduri at his house at Taman Klebang Restu, Chemor on May, 6. All bloggers who read this article are invited.

Nearly two weeks later, Myanmar couple Abdul Rahman Doriraman, 31, and Rashidah Nurislah, 27, brought the boy back to his family after the incident drew nationwide news coverage. On April 19, the couple was released on bail after police questioned them.

My brother claimed he had been receiving many SMSes from people accusing him of being ungrateful to the couple. He refuted the criticisms, saying that his family was indeed grateful to Abdul Rahman and Rashidah. Shamsul said he would visit the couple at their squatter home near Sentul in Kuala Lumpur and give them a small reward in gratitude – no matter what the outcome of the police case against them. He appealed to the public to stop their scathing SMSes saying: “The matter now is between the police and the couple. I have no ill-feelings against them.”

Nursery Rhyme Convinces Father It's His Missing "Little Star" Yin

My brother, Shamsul Ghazali Shamsuddin has enjoyed listening to his son Muhammad Nazrin or Yin sing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" countless times but when the five-year-old sang the nursery rhyme to him today over the phone, he broke down and wept. He knew that the agony he and the rest of the family had gone through over the last two weeks was over. His son, who went missing on March 31, had been found. Shamsul Ghazali, 34, had received a telephone call at 2 pm from his friend Baharudin Hassan (special thanks to Din) when he was in Ipoh on a job assignment. Baharudin told him that his son, Yin, had been found and was safe but my brother, having received numerous calls over the last two weeks, some of them hoaxes, found the news hard to swallow. "I could not believe what I had just heard. I asked to speak with my son but was still doubtful. Then, I asked the boy to sing his favourite nursery rhyme," he told a news conference, here. Yin had gone missing while the family was shopping at the Sogo departmental store in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman here at about 2 pm on March 31. Shamsul Ghazali was in the changing room trying out an attire then and his wife, Nor Amizah Ahmad, 25, was looking after Yin's younger brother, Muhammad Nazmi, four. Yin was found today by Baharudin with a Myanmar couple, Rasidah Nur Islam, 27, and her husband Abdul Rahman Doli Rahman, 31. He had been with them for the last two weeks. Rasidah had contacted Baharudin after seeing Yin's photograph on a poster, thousands of copies of which had been distributed by Shamsul Ghazali in his desperate search for the boy. "I will not take any action against the couple. Perhaps it is true that they do not know how to read and had no television to learn of Yin's disappearance," said Shamsul Ghazali. Asked whether the offered reward of RM25,000 would be given to the couple, he said it would be considered in two or three days and that he was not holding the money. Shamsul Ghazali said the family would hold a "doa selamat" prayers at the house of a relative in Kampung Melayu Subang. Elated that his son was now back, Shamsul Ghazali expressed thanks to everyone who had shown concern and come forward to help find the boy. "Thank you to all of you, including the media, police and political parties who came forward to help. The agony of the two-week wait is over, and Yin is back with his family," he said. Yin's mother, Nor Amizah, said she was thankful that Yin was found unharmed and in good physical condition. At the news conference, Yin's younger brother Nazmi was seen to be delighted at seeing his brother again and both of them were giggling and singing together.

Alhamdulillah! THANK GOD! Five-year-old Mohammad Nazrin Shamsul Ghazali or Yin, who has been missing since March 31, was found in Sentul this evening, Acting Kuala Lumpur police chief SAC I Zulhasnan Najib Baharuddin said.

Latest News: Zero clues but father gets crank calls

“PLEASE stop it, it’s not funny.”

This appeal came from Shamsul Ghazali Shamsuddin, who is clinging on to the hope of being reunited with his missing eldest son, Mohd Nazrin. Mohd Nazrin, fondly known as Yin, went missing on March 31 during a family outing to Sogo shopping complex. Shamsul said since his public appeal for help last Monday, he had been getting a lot of crank calls, sending him on a wild goose chase each time. If that’s not enough, Shamsul had also been getting nasty text messages like “Padan muka, tu la tak tahu jaga anak” (serves you right, you don’t know how to look after your son). “I get at least five crank calls a day. It’s heartless of them to do that to me.

“My family and I are devastated. The past eight days have been a living hell for us. Why do people torture us?” asked the 34-year-old Bank Islam officer from Chemor, Perak.

“Last week I received several calls asking me to come to such and such a place to meet the callers as they claimed that they had spotted Yin. “I rushed there only to discover that no one was around. I tried calling them but they had switched off their cell phones,” he said. Shamsul’s uncle, Ayub Leman, said yesterday at 1pm, someone called, saying Yin had been spotted at Keramat wet market. “When I asked when he saw Yin, he said two hours earlier. He then hung up,” he said. Shamsul and his family had been staying at Ayub’s house in Kampung Melayu Subang since arriving from Chemor for a short visit, which had turned out to be the longest days of the lives. Ayub said his nephew had also received calls from several people claiming to be ‘bomohs’. “They claimed they knew where Yin was. Some said he was in Kelantan and Pahang. The list goes on. “Some even said Yin was being hidden by spirits. All this does nothing to help but to further torment Shamsul,” he said. Last Friday, Ayub said, a ‘bomoh’ called Shamsul telling him that Yin was in a house in Dang Wangi with three others. “The man even gave the address but when we rushed to the place, the house was vacant. When we called the ‘bomoh’ back, he said Yin could have been taken elsewhere,” he said. Ayub said Shamsul and his wife Nur Amizah Ahmad, 25, have not slept well for eight days. “They are going through a lot of pain and do not deserve this kind of treatment. To those who gave comfort and kind words, we can only thank them for their support,” he said. “He made arrangements to see a ‘bomoh’ in Ampang tonight.” Ayub also appealed to those who see Yin, to hold on to the boy and bring him to the nearest police station. In the 2.40pm incident on March 31, CCTV footage from the shopping complex showed Yin taking the escalator down from the second floor before exiting the shopping centre alone, heading towards Jalan Raja Laut. Shamsul has also offered a reward for information on Yin and can be contacted at 012-5090451. The 100cm tall boy was wearing a grey-boxed short sleeved shirt and a pair of blue jeans when he went missing. He sports a crew-cut. by KALBANA PERIMBANAYAGAM (www.mmail.com.my - 9 April 2007)

My nephew on goes missing in SOGO!!!! newspaper article

My nephew on goes missing in SOGO!!!!

My nephew, Muhammad Nazrin b. Shamsul Ghazali (my brother’s son) was missing during shopping at SOGO Kuala Lumpur on 31st March 2007. My brother, SHAMSUL Ghazali Shamsudin is going through what every parent fears most when taking their children to a department store. On Saturday, clutching a Polo T-shirt, Shamsul headed for the fitting room on the second floor of Sogo Complex in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman when he realised that his five-year-old son, Muhammad Nazrin or Yin, as he is fondly known, was not with him. In the 2pm incident, the my 34-year-old brother who bank officer from Medan Klebang Restu, Chemor, Perak, visited the complex with his 25-year-old wife and another son, aged four years. He brought his family to Kuala Lumpur that morning to sign several documents pertaining to his new apartment in Bandar Sri Permaisuri. “It never occurred to me that Yin would disappear. He was only out of my sight for a few seconds,” he told me last Monday. The store was packed with shoppers. His wife and the other son were on the third floor. Yin is between 90 and 100cm tall and was last seen in a grey-boxed short sleeve shirt and a pair of blue jeans. He has a crew cut. This was not the first time Yin had gone missing. “The last time was at Tesco in Ipoh but we found him within 10 minutes. What worries me is that he can’t speak properly. “He knows my name but with strangers, I doubt if he’ll say anything,” he said, adding that Yin doesn’t like being held on to by strangers. After the disappearance, my brother alerted the complex’s security department. Security officers reviewed the closed-circuit television camera recordings from 1.30pm to 9pm but there was no sight of Yin. “My wife is distraught and she has lost her appetite. We were supposed to return to Chemor that evening. We will stay at my sister-in-law’s house in Hulu Langat until we find our child,” he said. Shamsul lodged a report at the Dang Wangi police station yesterday. Thus. those who are have new info about my nephew, kindly please call handphone number, 019-6405116 or office no. 04-9798663 or you call my brother, Shamsul Ghazali Shamsudin at 012-5090451. Thanks
