if im not mistaken in 20th sept about 16XX i was on my way to klcc for some banking stuff…(for ur all info klcc rhb and bcb banks opens daily even sunday). so when im reaching the klcc car park lot, there she is….the old lady that waving her hand not sure if she wana stop a taxi or asking for help. well to be honest because that particular day i was quite in a happy mood, so i a sudden im not sure is it myself that really willing to help her, i just stop my car nearby and offering my help. by the time when i approached her, i ask her what she’s up to. she said she wanna go home but cant get any ride. in this situation, i cant jus let this old lady just standing near the busy road and keep waving her hand right? so i offered her a ride, she replies that she got no money, i said its ok then i just pick her up and go.
in the car i asked her where she live, she said she’s staying in jalan ipoh…i was like "wow, fantastic! how am i supposed to know that WHICH part of jalan ipoh ur staying o!" it was abit funny and abit of frustrating ride when i was chatting with her…first : she dunno which part of jalan ipoh she’s staying (as u all know,old lady that suffering amnesia or in cantonese lou yan chi ngoi jing) second : the road thats heading to jalan ipoh is at peak hour, means TRAFFIC JAM as im in hurry going to bank my stuff. third : as im trying to entertain her by chatting with her, the results is silent all the time cos she tends to ask back same question that she asked before (quite similar with 1st case) and last : of course u know the generation gap between us is LARGE, so in order to respect the elders, i just didnt turn on my car audio…so its a total crappy silent ride…
after a few turns along jalan ipoh, this is the last resort that came into my mind…y dun i send her to police station and lodge a report as a missing person? ok not sure u guys think is right o not so gimme some opinion here ok?
after sending her to balai in sentul which is near jalan ipoh since she’s mentioning that she’s staying nearby, we drop down into the policewomen where she guided us to the office centre (i can see her expression of her face where she knows that the old lady is a fuss to them). so after a short report to the policewomen,i think i was almost ready to hand over the old lady to the right person who can handle this case better than me…so before i go, i just pass some short message to the old lady that her son will come to pick her up later (which i really hope in my heart) and i pass a rm10 notes to her since she was pennyless hope that she know how to use it for some food or drink…and that is the last time i saw her.
from time to time i was like wishing that i had a contact from her to make sure if she had reuinion with her family until yesterday where in a sudden i saw a poster that showing a missing old lady…i was so suprise that she was the same old lady that i found that day. immediately i called up the number appeared on the poster. then there is this guy picked up the phone, he was the old lady’s son.
then i just briefly asked if she ok or where she is some kinda this stuff…then he explain to me that he had lodged a report on the same day i found her bout 21XX. so i was so suprise again cos that day i saw the policewomen had inform the other balai that a missing old lady is in sentul station…supposingly the balais are interlink right? he lodged it at pandan indah balai for ur info…anyway he futher his story that the police had transfer her to old folks home at duno where the place then she went missing again…this time melampau…at wangsa maju…! (oh i forgot, actually they are living in jalan cheras, not jalan ipoh). her son has even asked for RELA help him find his mother, with posters attached on taxis and places where until now i only saw her picture….(wonder if those poster are posted until pj area hehe…) so at the end the son had found her and place her to old folks home since he indicated that she’s old liao and poor memory but she’s quite healthy…even he said that her mother can go in and out their house for 6 to 7 times a day (so u can imagine how healthy she is). so at last i found out that her name is ruby teoh (got english name ge wo, so yeah ger?), age 80+ (haha ging chau ler, even my grandma not that long age) staying in jalan cheras (not jalan ipoh) but has anmesia (or the other way in cantonese) if u guys did pass through the poster…then yup…its HER…!
and now my question has been answered…she’s safe but staying in old folks homw liao…(wonder she still remember me?) not sure how was like to know that someone that u help now is in good condition, but my feelings was relieved and i was happy till can dance to utada songs ‘travelling’ hahah…her son actually wana see me and u know wana have some reward for me for helping her and i decline n i answered him "nothing ge la, i just willingly help only ma, maybe next time when im in trouble oso ppl can help me ma rite?"
so actually im not sure if i did wrong to put her in balai until now only she was found…? haih duno la….
