“s.o.b” sms prankster targets Malaysia editor’s daugther; editor shames prankster with column!
Malaysia and Malaysians are still looking for five-year-old Sharlinie Mohd Nasyar who disappeared among a month ago.
For The Star New Media editor, A. Asohan, the unfortunately reality that the danger can strike closer to home was too much for him that he laced his Sunday column by calling the sms prankster a s.o.b more than five times.
Wrote A. Asohan for The Star Sunday 27 Jan 2008,
On a recent Sunday, my nine-year-old daughter received, on her handphone, an SMS which addressed her by name, and in a texting version of Bahasa Malaysia, asked her what she was doing, adding “abang rindu mu, bis yah,” or “I missed you, please reply.”
The kids were with their mother at the time, so he called up the number and asked the man who answered, who he was and why he was sending SMSes to our child.
It’s my daugher, you s.o.b!
Asohan also recounted his experience with the police but also wonders why the police had to question him the purpose of him lodging this report twice!
When I was in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, recently, I saw the missing photos of missing Sharlinie Mohd Nasyar all over the capital city.
Is KL still a safe place for tourist with kids to go? Nowhere is safe if a parent doesn’t take full responsibility of their kids by having an eye on them all the time!
I hope the police do capture the prankster so that the prankster doesn’t go around “smsing” innocent young children in Malaysia no more!
