Previously, the family in Kuala Lumpur appealed to the public for help in finding their missing loved one, a 67-year-old senior citizen with memory loss, last seen in the Jinjang Utara area
According to a Facebook post by a family member, Joseph Vincent John was last seen between 1.45pm and 2pm on Saturday, 14 December, in Jinjang Utara.
His niece, Audrey Lee, shared that Vincent typically gets around on his red and white Honda Wave Dash 110 motorcycle, bearing the number plate WMK 1007.
She explained that he has a history of memory loss, which has left the family worried that he might be disoriented and unable to find his way home.
Vincent's son, Royceson, told SAYS that his father was last seen wearing a grey round-neck T-shirt and black shorts.
He had left home to buy chicken rice for lunch, but the shop he intended to visit was closed.
The family has searched all of Vincent's usual hangouts but has yet to find him. They have reported him missing to the police on Saturday.
Anyone with information about Vincent's whereabouts is urged to contact his family at +6018-3694158 (Royceson) or +6010-2747217 (Mary).
