Singapore man who went to JB 3 days ago can't be reached, family makes police report
A Singaporean man who went to Johor Bahru three days ago has become uncontactable, and his friends and family members are mystified over what could have happened to him.
Mardave Parades Manuel, 29, was believed to have crossed the border into Malaysia at around 2.55pm on Tuesday (May 28), according to his friend, who gave her name as Zhong.
She told AsiaOne that Manuel, who is Philippine-born, had gone there to sell his cryptocurrency, which is believed to be worth RM240,000 (S$68,900).
He did not inform anyone where and what time the crypto transaction would be taking place.
He became uncontactable after sending a text to his fiancee around 4pm on the same day. Calls and messages from his parents and brother at 4.30pm went unanswered.
Zhong said that the last record the family had about Manuel's whereabouts is a Grab ride from his Bukit Merah block to Bugis Bus Terminal at Queen Street.
Manuel's brother has since lodged a police report in Singapore and JB. The Singapore police confirmed that a report was filed.
