Newscaster’s disappearance: Ras Adiba not giving up on her friend
The Dewan Negara senator said people can say whatever they want but she is steadfast in her mission to be reunited with her dear friend.
Despite the possibility that Zalina Shaharah Azman may be "gone", Ras Adiba Radzi still has not given up hope and continues the mission to find the former TV3 personality.
The Dewan Negara senator said people can say whatever they want but she is steadfast in her mission to be reunited with her dear friend.
"I will not lose hope. Some say I may be looking for someone who doesn't want to be found. My answer: it's okay, I just want to know that she's safe.
"It is also possible that she is ‘gone’, but I will continue my search," she told Malaysiakini yesterday.
Ras Adiba (above, left) added that her search for Zalina, 60, was not limited to Shah Alam - where the “Money Matters” host was reported missing - but extended to other places and has contacted the police to get more information.
"Every time I go out of the Federal Territory and Selangor, I will look for her.
"I often ask our friends if they have heard any news. I am also in frequent contact with the police," she said.
No new leads
Zalina has been reported missing since November 2021 and despite extensive efforts made to find her, they all led to dead ends.
The news of Zalina's disappearance stormed through the media after the police issued a missing person notice following a report made by her son, Mikhael Norman.
Mikhael, who was 33 years old at the time, reported his mother went missing on Nov 29, 2021.
Before her disappearance, family and friends told the police that she seemed healthy and behaved like usual. Her mobile phone was last active on Nov 20 - which was four days before her son tried to call her.
There were also several reported sightings of Zalina in Shah Alam and Sentul but they all appeared to be women who looked like her.
Last September, the police searched Zalina’s house to find no striking evidence. They did, however, deduce that she might have been missing earlier than reported.
When contacted by Malaysiakini, Shah Alam district police chief Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said there are no new leads in the investigation of the case.
According to him, the police have carried out all investigations from various angles, including contacting the Immigration Department to determine Zalina's whereabouts but there were no records of her leaving the country.
At the same time, Iqbal said the police welcome any information from the public.
"The police are still waiting for information from the public to help the investigation," he said.
