KUALA LUMPUR: Three years after it was first proposed, Malaysia looks set to have its own early alert system for missing children.
Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil said details of the system had been finalised and were ready to be presented at next week's cabinet meeting.
The system is named NUR (National Urgent Response) Alert. Previously, it was dubbed NURIN (Nationwide Urgent Response Information Network) Alert.
The proposal for the system was brought to the attention of the ministry by Jasni Abdul Jalil, uncle to child murder victim, Nurin Jazlin Jazimin. Jasni, together with some friends, had drafted a proposal and submitted it to Shahrizat's ministry in 2008.
The Nurin Alert was modelled after the United States' Amber alert -- an emergency response system that galvanised the authorities and the community via a comprehensive network to locate missing children.
