Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department deputy director (investigation/legal) Salehhudin Abd Rahman said finding the girl would not be easy.

He added however that the teams are now receiving assistance from the locals, including the Orang Asli people who volunteered to help locate Quoirin.

“There are many other parties who are willing to cooperate with us,” he told Bernama.

As of yesterday, the SAR operations involved 178 personnel which Salehudin said was sufficient for now. However, he did not rule out the possibility of increasing the force if needed.

“Let’s see in the next day or two,” he added.

Security agencies involved in the SAR operations include the police, General Operations Force (PGA) 4th Semenyih Battalion and Senoi Praak unit from PGA 3rd Battalion, state fire and rescue department, Malaysian Civil Defence Force, Malaysian Volunteers Corps Department, state forestry department, Sapura employees, as well as locals including the Orang Asli.

Salehudin urged all parties to refrain from speculating about Quoirin’s disappearance, saying this could cause anxiety among family members and the community.

Quoirin arrived at the Dusun resort with her parents from London on Saturday for a two-week vacation. She was reported missing on Sunday at 8am.
