JOHOR BARU: Pining mother Roselyn Alan has made an impassioned plea to whoever has taken her five-year-old girl.
“If we had done anything to offend anyone, we are very sorry. Please just give my daughter back,” she said tearfully at her home in Seri Delima flats in Seri Alam here yesterday.
Nurul Nadirah, she said, was just an innocent little girl.
Roselyn, 25, said that since Nurul Nadirah went missing on Thursday, her brother Mohd Hafiz, six, was depressed and would often keep to himself.
“We have not lost hope and my instincts tell me that wherever she may be, Dirang (Nurul Nadirah's pet name) is still alive,” she said, adding that she had visited the places where her daughter usually played in the hope of finding her.

She added that she registered Nurul Nadirah at a nearby kindergarten three days before she went missing and the girl was very excited about starting classes there.
“My daughter was happy to go to kindergarten with her brother and they always went there together,” she said, adding that she had been praying daily so that Dirang would just “appear at the front door”.
Mohd Hafiz said he felt very sad and missed his sister very much.
“She is my best friend and I used to play hide and seek and other games with her,” he added.
Roselyn said her family moved to Seri Alam from Port Klang in December last year.
“My husband was hoping to find a better job here so we could provide the best education for our kids,” she said.
Seri Alam OCPD Supt Roslan Zainuddin said the three suspects who were detained in connection with the case were said to have been seen by neighbours taking away the girl.
“Several residents claimed that they saw the girl being bundled up and taken away on a motorcycle by the suspects the day she went missing,” he said.
He added that police would seek an extension on the remand period for the suspects.
Supt Roslan advised parents not to let their young children leave their house unsupervised.
