Missing MRSM student found safe in Terengganu
Pahang police chief, Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman, confirmed that 13-year-old Anas Baihaqi Miqdad Johari was located at a relative's house at 7am today.
"Based on the report received at 4pm yesterday, we interviewed the student's family members.
"At 7am today, the student was located at a relative's house in Chukai, Kemaman, Terengganu, and he is safe.
"Therefore, the missing person case is now considered resolved, and further investigations will continue to determine how the student ended up in Chukai," he said.
Yahaya made the remarks during a press conference after the Monthly Police Assembly at the Pahang police contingent headquarters today.
Earlier, media reports revealed that preliminary investigations indicated the teenager had expressed reluctance to return to the hostel, as he found it difficult being away from his family.
Before the incident, the boy's 41-year-old mother reported that her son was last seen at home around 3.30pm, before she realised he was missing approximately half an hour later.

Cleaned out: Housekeeping manager loses RM211,000 in investment scam
KUANTAN: A housekeeping manager lost RM211,000 of his savings after falling victim to a fake online investment scheme promoted on Facebook. The 49-year-old man from Kuantan transferred the money into two separate bank accounts over eight days before realising he had been duped. Pahang police chief Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said the victim saw a Facebook advertisement promoting the investment scheme on March 16, after which he communicated with a woman through WhatsApp. "The woman sweet-talked the victim into joining the investment scheme, promising high returns.

The victim made six transactions totalling RM211,000 into two separate bank accounts between June 4 and June 11. "The victim realised that he had been cheated when he was asked to make additional investments but received no returns," he said in a statement today.
