Another one gone. What is happening to our society ? Where is Sharlinie ? I am dreading the moment when her body is found, very much broken like arwah Nurin. I hope it won’t come to that. I hope maybe today she will found wandering somewhere, trying to find her way home. Please…
I was reading the papers on Saturday and I showed her picture to my children. I explained her situation carefully, making sure my children understand the grave situation this little girl is in.
Elsa kept looking at her picture. She stared and stared and stared. And then the questions and pleadings came barreling in.
“Mummy, can we go and find her ?”
“Mummy, where is she ? Where is she lost ?”
“Why is she lost ?”
“Mummy, dia naughty ke ? Kapa orang jahat ambik dia ?”
“Mummy, what happened to her now ? What about now ?” This question she asked more frequently than the rest.
She took the page with Linie’s picture in it everywhere. She will occasionally show it to other people with an announcement that the little girl is lost with a few bits of infos that she had.
For the umpteenth time when she thrust the paper in front of my eyes, Um has had enough. He really doesn’t like repetition that one.
“Ti can you stop that ? Stop saying that !!”
“Janganlah marah, Um..” Was the reply.
“Yalah… stop saying that. It’s annoying.”
“Um… she is just concerned, okay ? Let her be.” Said I.
This morning I showed her the picture of Nurin from yesterday’s paper. I explained that this was the first girl who went missing. Umar and Elsa asked a lot of questions again. The hows and the whys and the whens and then came the inevitable question, what happened to her ??
“She died, darling. Orang jahat tu killed her.” They went quiet. The stared and stared at her picture for the longest time.

Please, return Linie to her family safe and sound. Please.

Hi
Just blog hop here. I don't know what is malaysia coming to these days. Not so long ago arwah nurin case was a big tragedy and now it's sharlene. I hope we all have to be extra vigilant these days with regards to the whereabout of our kids. May Allah protect them all.
Hello Elara. I am definitely not sending my kids to the shop like my mom used to make me and my siblings do when we were kids. I do not know what degree of freedom my grandkids will have.
