No resolution?.......... Of children and freedom and safety....

On average, I update this blog once a week, with occasionally two updates within a week and sometimes it takes more than a week for me to update on something. For this week, it just feels so wrong (and selfish) if I still want to write about other things (especially personal stuffs) instead of this particular tragedy that have befallen another family and this..........'disease' that is plaguing the country now. Not that I'm forcing myself to write about this matter just so that I look good in front of everybody or anything. Hopefully, by the time you're done reading, you'd feel that what I wrote came from my heart.

The nation was still in grief and schocked (well, to some of us at least) over the kidnap-cum-murder of Allahyarhamah Nurin, when an eerily similar kidnapping incident happened to another little girl less than 5 months after Nurin was laid to rest.

The kidnapper/murderer of Nurin is still at large. He has been linked to 'abang kucing' (catman) who had kidnapped 5 other young girls and molested 3 of them, the same way what was done to Nurin (any inaccuracy to this piece of information is deeply regretted). He is nicknamed that way because he tricked these girls into going with him, to search for his missing cat, or to feed his cat (although in at least one occasion, he did forcefully grab a girl without her will).

The intelligence of the Malaysian police is being tested and they are under close scrutiny of the public eye as no one has been convicted for these heinous crimes yet. A few arrests were made, but all of them was released wihtout bail as they were found to be not involved to (at least) Nurin's case.

The 5-year old goes by the name of Sharlinie Mohd Nashar (above) who disappeared while playing about 200m from her house. To this day, she is still missing. No news of her whatsoever, and possibly no leads either?

Police are not ruling out the possibility that the 'catman' molester is behind these kidnappings. Only two days before Sharlinie went missing, a six-year-old girl was abducted by a man on a motorcycle when she was playing alone near her flats, about 2km from where Sharlinie was last seen. The girl was found three hours later some kilometres away. All these crimes had raised us some questions; of whether these crimes were committed by one man only; does he have an accomplice?; police have released a few photofits - are they of the same person or different people?; could it be the culprits are foreigners or immigrants, which is why no close families or friends of the culprit(s) come forward?

This is indeed a tragedy... Not just to the victims and the families involved, but also to the Malaysian community and to the country. With us just welcoming the year 2008 and 1429 (new year for the Muslims), people always talk about new year's resolution and Hijrah (for the Muslims). But to some of us, come new year or not, a psycho is still a psycho. A sex addict would only have one thing in mind.........., and I dare not finish this sentence. My heart goes to Sharlinie, may she is spared from being harmed in any way.


What 'disease' has plagued this country, Ya Allah? Is this the result of us adults, having too much freedom, where boundaries are easily crossed and limits are easily discarded away? Now, our children have to suffer. They shouldn't need to worry about their safety, (and neither should their parents), I mean as long as they play safe and they are in a safe environment. I mean, these are children, for God's sake. What kind of an animal (or a devil disguising as a human?) would want to harm them? They just want a little freedom, for them to be themselves - for them to be children.

Ya Allah, the rewards for reading/listening to this Al Qur'an recitation, I pass on to little Sharlinie.... Aaaminnn.....
