JOHOR BARU: Police are looking for two men over the recent kidnapping of a Singaporean family in which S$9mil (RM20.7mil) in ransom was allegedly paid.
The millionaire’s wife, daughter and maid were abducted in Permas Jaya here last month.
Johor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Shariff said they were on the hunt for Sam Meng Yeow @ Ah Sam and Liew Chee Wei @ William.
Both are Malaysians aged 31.
“We have formed a special task force to investigate the kidnapping and will be working closely with other authorities, including the Singapore police, to nab the culprits,” he told reporters at the state police headquarters here yesterday.
DCP Mohd Mokhtar declined to comment on how many suspects there were in the kidnapping, saying it could jeopardise their investigations.
It was reported on Saturday that the businessman’s family and maid were on their way home when their vehicle was forced off the road by the kidnappers.
Their abductors then took over the wheel and drove them to an undisclosed location.
The three were released unharmed several days after the ransom was paid.
The amount is said to be one of the highest ransoms paid in the country in recent years.
Warm Regard, Sara Pandian
