Police Chief Radzi Abdul Rahim of Kubang Pasu, stated that there has been no outward movement since their disappearance and a report has been lodged by their mother regarding the incident. \"The investigation is ongoing as 'missing persons' and police seek public assistance in sharing any information if they come across them,\" he said according to Harian Metro. Yesterday, reports indicated that Khairul Azhar Ahmad, 39, his wife Siti Zulaikha Ahmad Sabri, 36, and their 12-year-old son Adid Khairul Azhar, a student at SK Felda Batu 8, Changlun, had not been seen since leaving their home in Taman Desa Bayanmas, Bukit Kayu Hitam on July 20.
