The two foreign women that purportedly involved in a child kidnapping attempt in Genting Highlands as alleged in a recent viral TikTok video had been detained by the police to assist in its investigation.
According to Bentong police chief Superintendent Zaiham Mohd Kahar, the 42 and 50-year-old suspects were detained at about 11.30am on Tuesday.
Zaiham said that the children’s father, a local 33-year-old Malaysian man, had lodged a report two days before the arrest.
“The case is being investigated under Section 363/511 of the Penal Code for kidnapping, which is punishable with imprisonment for up to seven years or a fine if convicted,” Zaiham said in a statement.
On Sunday, a TikTok user @alfitry_azmi52 uploaded a video urging the public to be wary of a child kidnapping syndicate at the Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park in Genting Highlands.
He said that one of his employee’s children had almost become a kidnap victim by a Pakistani and an Indonesian woman.
The man claimed that the child’s mother was surrounded by several individuals who tried to snatch the child away from her when the boy’s father was on a roller-coaster ride with his friends.
The 1-minute and 20 seconds video has since gone viral over social media.
