Chinese mom, Indian father continue search for lost child

KUALA LUMPUR - The parents of a two-year-old Indian girl, who has been missing since June, are still searching for her, and her mother who is of Chinese origin, believes she is alive and is being held captive somewhere.

Wong Lai Lan, the mother of Nisha Chandramohan, believes her daughter is alive and being held captive.

Wong and the child’s Malaysian Indian father, who had taken long leave from work at one stage, are still driving around the country over the weekends, carrying photographs and posters of their missing daughter.

“We pray daily for her well being and go to church every Sunday, hoping for a miracle some day,” Wong said in an interview to The Star newspaper published Thursday.

Wong said despite the wide publicity by the media and assistance from RHB Group, the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) and legislator Mohammed Sharkar Shamsuddin, there was still no news of Nisha’s whereabouts.

“As her mother, I have an instinct that she is still alive. I can only pray that whoever is keeping Nisha is being kind to her, and knows that she needs medication for epilepsy,” she said.

Some pranksters seem to take advantage of their grief.

Wong said that some people had asked for their cellphones to be topped up in exchange for information.

“A man contacted us last Sunday, saying he had seen Nisha but I sensed that he was not truthful.

“We have already suffered enough. Please do not add to our misery,” she pleaded.
