Fathers Day celebratio­n at Loo Sing’s (pic) household has been postponed after the 77-yearold went missing.

His daughter Loo Kam Lan, 54, lodged a police report after her father did not return home after breakfast on June 21.

“We first noticed he was missing at 4am that day. Around that time, he would usually go out for an early breakfast and return home shortly.

“After he failed to return, we decided to look for him. We went to his usual coffeeshop but he was not there.

“He did not bring his phone, so we could not call him,” she told reporters at the press conference by Simpang Pulai assemblyma­n Tan Kar Hing at his service centre here yesterday.

Her family also took to social media for help.

“For the past three days, we received various informatio­n such as people having seen him in Buntong and Silibin. However, upon checking, he was nowhere to be found

“We are worried about his health. My father has high blood pressure and he did not bring his medicine before leaving the house,” she said.

Loo Sing was last seen wearing a blue checkered shirt with long black pants. He was riding a black Yamaha motorcycle.

Tan urged the public to contact the family should they have any informatio­n.

“Since the report was lodged, I have contacted the Gunung Rapat police station for updates.

“The family also informed me that they received some false informatio­n saying that Loo Sing was in Cheras and several areas that are way far from his home,” he added.

Those with informatio­n on Loo Sing can contact the family at 012 2759 817 or 017 668 7136.
