No record of Balisong leaving Malaysia, says Immigration D-G
Immigration director-general Datuk Zakaria Shaaban said: "So far, further checks found no record of the teenager leaving the country."
The authorities had said Balisong had entered Malaysia through Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) at 8.29am on June 7.
Acting Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Fadil Marsus said efforts are ongoing to trace the teenager.
"If there are any leads, we (police) will inform later," he said.
Yesterday, police confirmed that the teenager had emailed his mother on July 9.
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan was reported as saying they had examined the contents of the email, which, among other things, told his family in the UK not to worry.
The email also requested that his family not look for him and included prayers for the success of all family members.
The teenager also apologised for his actions without saying when he would return to his family.
Balisong was reported missing by his family after arriving in Malaysia on June 7 and was last seen boarding a bus to Kuala Lumpur Sentral.
The student from Greater Manchester was earlier reported to have boarded a one-way flight from Manchester to Kuala Lumpur on June 6 without telling his family.
He was also found to have switched off his mobile phone and stopped responding to emails upon arriving in Malaysia.
Those with information should contact Inspector Hazuin Jan Abdul Hamid of the KLIA police headquarters on 017-736 9187 or the nearest police station.
