Floating Bodies in Sungai Kuala Selangor

This email was sent by a friend of one of the two whose bodies were found floating in Sungai Kuala Selangor, victims of senseless robbery crime.

Dear Friends,

I am writing this with a very heavy heart, with tears in my eyes and great unease in my entire being.

You all will have by now read about the two Chinese male bodies that were recovered from the Kuala Selangor river. One of them was that of the man reported missing on the 28th, monday by his pregnant wife. It is the other man that i want to share my story with you all.

He was my friend Alan Kuek, towering man, kind and gentle, ready for a good time, eating, drinking, dancing and of course his favourite game of squash at Lakeview club. He was the father to two handsome, smart boys and a pretty young daughter whom he fathered 7 years ago. He was not only a good father , he was a loving husband. He went missing at 1.20am Friday the 25th. He was last seen by his two friends who were having a drink with him, when they all left RP, Hyatt Saujana at around 1am Friday morning. One of his friends received a missed call from him at 1.18am when she was already at home, but thought nothing of it.

The next morning , I was informed by our group of friends that his wife called them as he did not go home! My friends went with his wife Christine to make a police report and got the expected response of taking the whole matter lightly. (Husband not missing for 24 hrs yet, might be going away from family for a reason, ....)

Christine with help managed to checked her husband bank account at MayBank and discovered that there were 5 separate withdrawals at branches in Kota Damansara and Sg Buloh since 7am
on that very day.

My companion Francis who is also a close friend of Alan besides working as partners in several projects went with Christine around 430pm again to inform police of this information. Still no action on police part.

We were all very hopeful, that the criminals is keeping Alan hostage as they want to withdraw more money the next day. Sure enough, there were 2 withdrawals totalling 1400.00 ringgit at 710am on Saturday the 26th from a branch in Sg Buloh.

Image captured on CCTV at the ATM was that of a dark skin man with helmet and black jacket. No further withdrawal was made as there was only 200ringgit left in the account. Now the police are finally taking it seriously and we waited for calls demanding ransom and hope for police can
rescue Alan.

Saturday turned into sunday, then monday,.....until the shocking news on national TV7 that the second victim's wife is pleading for his safe return, we only knew that there was a similar second case.

My heart sank almost completely for Alan survival! I was hoping against all odds for a miracle that Alan will return safely to his waiting family. My hope for Alan life was shattered on 3rd May

Saturday when we were informed that Christine and the second victim's wife had gone to identify the two floating Chinese bodies.

Alan body was beyond recognition, clad only in his> underwear hands and feet tied. Christine can

identified the underwear as Alan's. There was nothing we his friends and families can do now, only to wait for final confirmation via DNA test and a postmorterm to reveal time and cause of death.

These 'animal' criminals had coldheartedly robbed us of two very capable and productive Malaysian men, two loving husband, two caring and tender fathers and two generous , warm and sincere friends!

Both of them lived in Subang Jaya, a middle urban area, where such violent, random crimes do not happen until now! Where is the security that is due and expected from our government?

Where, when and how can one be safe in Malaysia now? It is just so utterly shocking and unbeliveable that such crimes can happen in our neighbourhood!

Only we can take care of our security, be triple alert whereever and whenever we are , as long as
they are strangers do not stop, open your car doors, house doors or follow them even when they are hurt. It sounds cold and uncaring but this is for our own survival.

Live your Life as usual, be happy, be caring but be extra careful and alert of your surrounding every minute.

God bless and protect all of us.

Love always.
