THE family of a toddler, who went missing for about 18 hours, believes there could be a supernatural factor behind her disappearance, Harian Metro reports.

Abdul Wahid Nordin, 52, who is the girl’s grandfather, said: “It is just not logical for a 22-month-old child to have been able to walk barefoot for almost 3km in the jungle.”

He said the family of Nor Aishah Umairah Zamzanuri was relieved that she was safe after being found by two orang asli at a rubber estate near Slim River, Perak, on Wednesday morning.

Except for some scratches on her leg and mosquito bite marks on her body, the girl is in good health.

A 70-member search-and-rescue team had earlier failed to find her.

> Berita Harian reported that a 66-year-old man died two days after his grandson beat him up for not giving him RM100.

Saad Man was admitted to the hospital last Thursday after he was repeatedly hit by his 22-year-old grandson, who flew into a rage when he failed to get the money.

A police report was made near Sungai Petani, Kedah. When the grandson found out about it, he got even more furious.

He went to his grandfather’s house again and kicked the older man several times, breaking his ribs.

Neighbours called the police and they remanded the grandson.
