KUCHING: A single mother who lost contact with her husband for several years is forced to raise her children alone and cannot find closure as there is no trace of her husband’s whereabouts.
Special Assistant to MP Stampin, Michael Kong said according to Madam Kho, her husband had left Sarawak for Shenzhen, China with the hope of securing better job opportunities to support their family.
Upon arriving in Shenzhen, he informed the family of his safe arrival. However, that was the last time they ever heard from him. Since then, despite numerous efforts, the family has been unable to reach or locate him.
He said understandably, Madam Kho is deeply concerned for his safety and well-being. With no closure and growing responsibilities as the sole caregiver to their children, she is now seeking any help that may lead to tracing her husband’s whereabouts.
Kong urged anyone who may have information about a Sarawakian man who left for Shenzhen a few years ago and may have lost contact with his family to come forward.
He said they need any detail to locate him so that the family can have some closure and go on wothNo detail is too small. Your help could mean the world to this struggling family.
He advised that if anyone has lost contact with a loved one overseas, they should file a police report and also reach out to your nearest consulate or community service centre for support.
He said time is critical in such cases, and early reporting can make a significant difference.
Kong added that Tang Thiew Hing is 53-years- old and the couple have five daughters. Tang’s parents have both passed away already. He had an elder sister but she also passed away already.
