Dear Friends and those who have been kind to offer help,
We found my Uncle. He was detained at Angsana Home. No paper work was done and his personal belongings were taken away from him and he was locked up.
He beg a kind staff to help him call my Dad, he told him he had family, he is not a destitute person. Eventually the staff believed him and help him to call. My Dad has since got them to do the paper work to release him and we have told them what they did is wrong. My Uncle's I/C was with him, he has a address and home. They should have gone to his home to verify and inform us. He was clean and not unkept like a destitute. He had a handphone with a valid sim card, he had money on him. When they talk to him, they would know his has a child's IQ and should have made more effort to contact his family as we were so worried for his safety.
Luckily he was treated well there, so we are not pressing any charges against them.
Recently, I friend who used to work with me as a Social Worker shared with me that she had worked on this Destitute persons project before. There is a law where they can detain a person now if they suspect he is a destitute or beggar. Apparently since 2 years ago this project has not been well managed and the liaising between the police and them is obviously still very lacking (as can be seen in my Uncle's case).
So if you are looking for a missing person, do check out this place which the police don't have good information about...I hope you will find your loved one.
