The Social Welfare Department (JKM) has urged the mother of abused victim Mohammad Akmal Hakimi,5, to collect the boy.
Kedah JKM director Zulkiply Ramli said based on Akmal’s birth certificate, his mother was Siti Haya Anuar, 38, whose last address was at No. 27 Jalan Sahabat, Off Jalan Tong Shin, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur.
“We want Akmal’s mother to complete the required documents to confirm his status,” he told a press conference at his office yesterday.
JKM obtained one month temporary custody of Akmal from the Alor Setar magistrate’s court for children, to locate his mother.
If the mother failed to be located, Akmal will be placed at the children home in Kepala Batas, Penang or JKM will find him an adopted family.
Zulkiply said Akmal was referred to police on Dec 29 last year and treated at Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, Alor Setar before allowed to leave yesterday.
The boy who is active and healthy had some cuts and bruises in the hands and eyes believed, inflicted by her adopted mother.
Akmal is under the care of his former nanny who looked after him from 45 days to four years before handed over to the adopted family.
The mother or individuals who know Akmal can contact the Kota Setar JKM child guardian at 04-7202370/7202351 (Mohd Basharudin Samsudin).
