KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 17 — Federal Territory Gerakan secretary Dr Wong Ruen Yuan today lodged a police report against an unknown caller who tried to extort RM500,000 as ransom, claiming that he had kidnapped his 10-year-old daughter from her school in Brickfields.
According to Dr Wong who made the police report at the Jalan Travers Police station, his mother-in-law who was in Melaka, had received a phone call from an unknown person at 12.30pm yesterday, asking her to pay RM500,000 as ransom.
“The unknown caller had claimed that my daughter had been kidnapped from her school in Brickfields. My mother-in-law called me to inform me of the call and I quickly went to my daughter’s school and found her safe there,” Dr Wong told reporters here today.
Dr Wong said it was an attempt by someone to dupe him into paying the ransom and made the police report at 5.15pm yesterday.
“My safety and that of my family seems to be under threat. I cannot understand how they were able to source my background and information, including my mother-in-laws phone number in Melaka,” he said. — Bernama
