A teenage girl from Johor has gone missing under distressing circumstances, prompting urgent calls for public assistance. The 15-year-old, known as Yi Xuan, vanished from her home in Batu Pahat on the morning of 28 April. Her family fears she may have been abducted by a man who previously took her away without explanation.
Early Morning Disappearance Raises Alarm
Yi Xuan’s disappearance was discovered by her grandparents, who had stepped out to buy breakfast for her that morning. When they returned, she was nowhere to be found. According to the family, Yi Xuan left the house at approximately 7am without informing anyone, wearing a yellow top and a blue denim skirt.
Her mother, Su Xingping (transliteration), reported that there had been no signs or arguments the day before that might have suggested Yi Xuan was planning to leave. The sudden nature of her disappearance has added to the family's anxiety, particularly given a troubling incident involving the same daughter just days earlier.
A Troubling Incident Just Days Before
On 23 April, five days before she went missing, Yi Xuan was unexpectedly picked up from school by an unfamiliar man. The family only found out through school authorities, who informed them that a Chinese man in a Proton Waja had collected her. The family had not authorised anyone to do so.
Fearing the worst, Su immediately lodged a police report. Fortunately, Yi Xuan returned home later that day unharmed — but refused to share where she had been taken or what had happened during her time away. The silence from the teenager left her family deeply unsettled.
The man believed to be connected to both incidents is known only by the nickname “Ah Long.” Su revealed that this individual had been introduced to the family by a friend of Yi Xuan’s grandfather, but beyond that, very little is known about him.
“He’s in his 40s, but we don’t have his real name, and we don’t know what he does for a living. We hardly communicate with him. After the last time he picked up my daughter, I asked her what happened, but she just wouldn’t say anything,” said Su.
The family has no idea when “Ah Long” began contacting Yi Xuan or the nature of their relationship. The lack of transparency has only deepened fears that the teenager may have been manipulated or lured away.
Phones Switched Off and a Home Left Empty
After Yi Xuan’s disappearance on 28 April, the family attempted to contact both her and “Ah Long” by phone. Neither responded, and both devices have remained switched off since. In desperation, Su went to “Ah Long’s” known residence, only to find that the premises appeared abandoned.
“My family and I have searched everywhere she usually goes — parks, cafés, and hangouts she likes. We even received a tip that someone saw a girl matching her description in Yong Peng, and we rushed there, but so far we’ve found nothing,” said Su.
A Family Desperate for Answers
Yi Xuan’s sudden silence, her connection to a mysterious older man, and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance have left her family deeply worried and emotionally drained. Her mother expressed frustration over the lack of leads and the fear that something sinister may have happened.
“She didn’t leave any messages. No clues. She just vanished,” Su said, holding back tears. “We are so afraid for her. If anyone has seen her or knows anything, we just want her home safe.”
Police Reports Filed, Public Urged to Help
The family has lodged a second police report following the 28 April incident. Authorities have not yet issued a formal statement, but the family hopes that media coverage and public awareness might lead to crucial information.
Anyone with knowledge of Yi Xuan’s whereabouts is urged to come forward immediately. Those who may have seen her, or who have any information about “Ah Long”, are encouraged to reach out to her family or the nearest police station.
