M’sian Woman Takes to Social Media to Find Missing Husband

The internet is a double-edged sword with good and bad aspects, such as when Malaysian netizens attacked Japanese Olympic rider Shinji Nakano online after he crashed into Shah Firdaus. However, the internet also sometimes proves that there is good left in humanity, such as in the case of X user @pja_chan, who used the platform to find her missing husband. 

On August 12, she wrote, “I can’t believe I’m here to post this. Twitter, please do your thing (and) find my husband.” She also pleaded for people to “retweet, please!”

She explained, “I lost contact with my husband. It has been a few hours since he said that he was waiting for an ambulance. Anyone who has seen this guy in the NU Sentral/LRT Kelana Jaya line, please reach me.”

She also posted a photo of her and her husband with the caption, “At 5 pm, my husband messaged me saying that he was leaving work early and was on the way to the clinic because he had a headache. At 6:40 pm he still hadn’t reached home so I called him. He answered and said that he was waiting for the ambulance and couldn’t really talk then the line got cut.” 

She went on to say that as of 10:14 pm, she still couldn’t contact him. She didn’t know where he was, whether he had reached the hospital, why he was waiting for an ambulance, or where he had gone. “What am I to do now?” she ended.

She then updated that she found him at the Emergency ward of Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL). He had collapsed on the way home from work and had sat in the ambulance alone. The police bantuan at his office had seen him collapse.” She added that her husband was very weak and hadn’t received any treatment yet.” She also thanked everyone for retweeting, although she didn’t specify how she had found him. 

HKL was too packed, so her insurance agent advised her to go to a private hospital. The woman said that her husband was now receiving treatment and going through checkups. 

Many netizens gave helpful suggestions for finding him, such as,  “Use the ‘Find My’ app if he uses an iPhone. If he uses Android, check his laptop or phone where he may have previously logged into his Gmail (logging in again might require two-factor authentication). Then use Google ‘Find My Device’ to locate him.”

Another wrote, “You can try calling the nearest hospital. I did this last time for my colleague.” One said, “Sis, try using detectico.com or scannero.io and search for your husband’s number there. But you have to create an account and pay less than RM10.”

Warm wishes also had poured in from users who hoped she would find her husband. Her post had also received nearly 9,000 retweets as of the time of writing. 

We’re glad she found him safe and sound!
