KUCHING, Dec 7: A search operation was launched after two five-year-old girls went missing in Kampung Pasir Pandak here yesterday (Dec 6).

According to a report by the Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba), the children, Humaira Qalesya Mohd Dir and NurAshafieyah Aisyah Abdul Nasri Asrafie, were last seen at 9am, heading to their grandmother’s house about 50 metres from their homes to play with their cousins.

By 11am, one of the girls’ father realised that both children were not at the play area. Early searches by the families around the village did not yield any results.

At 4pm, the search area was widened with the help of villagers, but still no trace of the girls was found.
