Missing British teen likely still in Malaysia, say cops
David Balisong was reported missing by his family after boarding a flight from the UK to Kuala Lumpur in June without their knowledge. (PDRM pic) PETALING JAYA : The 17-year-old British schoolboy who vanished after secretly boarding a one-way flight to Malaysia is likely still in the country, say the police. Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said five people have had their statements recorded as part of a missing person investigation. 'The case is still under investigation, but he is believed to still be in Malaysia,' he was quoted as saying by Harian Metro. David Balisong, an A-level student from Cheadle, Greater Manchester, left home early on June 6, telling his brother he had school matters to deal with. Instead, he flew alone from Manchester to Kuala Lumpur. He has since switched off his phone and is not responding to emails. Born in the UK to Filipino parents, Balisong has no known ties to Malaysia. He left with 1,200 pounds (RM6,900) in his bank account and was granted a 90-day visa upon arrival. Immigration department director-general Zakaria Shaaban confirmed that Balisong entered Malaysia on June 7. Entry records show that the teen arrived at KLIA at 8.29am. He is believed to have taken a bus to KL Sentral after arriving.
