Today's Star newspaper has put up the picture of a five years old girl, Sharlinie Mohd Nashar, who has been kidnapped near her home in Taman Medan.I'm quite confused with the police's action or mode of operations on the publicity of missing persons. If you Malaysians can remember, the police actually was not happy when bloggers published the pictures of Dora Goh when her kidnapping case was highlighted online within an hour throughout the whole of Klang Valley.
The police said "several bloggers went further by posting the woman’s photograph, much to the ire of the police who felt the action could have jeopardised the woman’s life."
For this Sharlinie's case, the publicity of her kidnapping was even wider compared to Dora Goh's case. In this scenario, her life won't be jeopardised? Even the Inspector-General of Police held a press conference to highlight the case.
So, which is which? Should it be highlighted and/or when should it be highlighted?
Personally, I hope that everyone will keep a look out for a young girl with similar face. Just be alert if you witness a struggle put up by a young girl with an adult. Those with information on Sharlinie’s whereabouts could contact her father Mohd Nashar Mat Hussain at 016-258 3450 / 016-270 9096 or call the police at 03-7966 2222 or Rakan Cop at 03-2115 9999.
