Ibu pejabat Nouvelles Visages Sdn. Bhd. (NV) milik jutawan kosmetik, Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya beroperasi seperti biasa pada 15 September 2010

Pejabat Sosilawati lengang

Utusan Malaysia Online - Dalam Negeri

KUALA LUMPUR 15 Sept. - Ibu pejabat Nouvelles Visages Sdn. Bhd. (NV) milik jutawan kosmetik, Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya beroperasi seperti biasa hari ini selepas ditutup sejak Jumaat lalu sempena cuti hari raya.

Bagaimanapun, keadaan pejabatnya yang terletak di Jalan Raja Bot dekat sini itu lengang dan tingkat bawah premis tersebut kosong dan gelap serta tidak dikunjungi pelanggan.

Premis tersebut dibuka oleh salah seorang pekerjanya kira-kira pukul 11.50 pagi dan menguncinya kembali selepas menyedari kehadiran pihak media yang telah menunggu di hadapan pejabat itu seawal 8.30 pagi.

Salah seorang anak Sosilawati, Erinawati Sofia Bukhari tiba di premis berkenaan kira-kira pukul 12.30 tengah hari bersama seorang lelaki dengan kenderaan pacuan empat roda.

Beliau yang mengenakan baju kurung hijau dan berselendang, berada di situ kira-kira setengah jam sebelum beredar dan enggan ditemu bual.

Difahamkan kakaknya, Erni Dekriwati Yuliana yang juga merupakan pengarah urusan produk kosmetik yang diasaskan ibunya itu tidak dapat hadir ke pejabat kerana melayani tetamu yang tidak putus-putus datang ke rumahnya untuk mengucapkan takziah.

Biarpun tidak dikunjungi pelanggan namun kebanyakan mereka yang lalu lalang di hadapan pejabat tersebut akan memperlahankan kenderaan atau berhenti seketika sekadar untuk melihat bangunan milik jutawan kosmetik itu.

Sosilawati bersama tiga yang lain dilaporkan hilang sejak 30 Ogos lalu telah dibunuh sebelum dibakar dan abu mayat mereka dibuang di sebuah sungai berhampiran Ladang Gadong, Tanjong Sepat, Selangor.

Tiga lagi yang menerima nasib yang sama ialah pemandunya, Kamaruddin Shamsudin; pegawai bank CIMB Kampung Baru, Noorhisham Mohammad dan peguam peribadi beliau, Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim.

Coco Li Ming Yang, 13 from Beijing has been missing for 21 days since August 26, 2010

Teen missing for 21 days
By LEE YEN MUN

KUALA LUMPUR: A teenager from Beijing left her home here on Aug 26 and has not been seen or heard since.

Coco Li Ming Yang, 13, has lived in the country with her family for six years under the Malaysia My Second Home programme.

She was due to have entered Grade 8 at Sayfol International School earlier this month.

Her mother Wang Mei Yuan said that the girl was last spotted exiting the lift of the D’Alamanda Pudu Impian condominium at 6.57pm in CCTV footage.

In the footage, the teenage girl is seen carrying a small backpack.

“My husband and I believe that she brought along a laptop, the house keys and some cash.

“Her passport was also missing from the house and she left her mobile phone SIM card behind,” Wang said.

A report was lodged at the Pudu police station the next day.

Coco stayed in Malaysia with her businessman father’s acquaintance whenever her parents travel overseas on work trips.

Wang said that her daughter spent most of her time at home surfing the Internet and reading comic books but rarely went out with friends.

She suspects that people Coco met through social networks may be responsible for the girl’s disappearance.

“She would not have the courage to leave on her own,” said Wang, who added that she has lost 6kg since her daughter’s disappearance 21 days ago.

Enquries among the girl’s schoolmates have produced no results. Coco’s parents have resorted to pasting self-printed posters of the teenager.

“I want Coco to know that it is not safe to cut all contact with family and friends. Please come home. Mummy wishes to touch your face and see your smile once more,” Wang said with a sob.

Those with information, can contact Coco’s father Li at 016-633 7811.

Their remains were sent to the Kuala Kubu Baru Hospital.

In another accident, the body of a BMW driver was mutilated after being run over during a mishap at 346th kilometre of the expressway yesterday.

A Tapah police spokesman said the car driver was believed to have lost control and hit the divider before crashing over to the opposite side of the highway.
