What are these cases?
1) Missing Child: Sharlinie Mohd Nashar from Taman Dato Harun
10 January 2008, at Petaling Jaya. Another young girl has gone missing after playing at a playground near her flats in Taman Dato Harun on Wednesday at 11am. 5-year-old Sharlinie Mohd Nashar went to the playground with her 8-year-old sister, Sharliena, but half an hour later when they decided to return home, Sharlinie was nowhere to be found.
This incident comes just after a 6-year-old girl was abducted by a motorcyclist on Monday in Kampung Sepakat, Taman Medan, but was later found wandering in Wangsa Maju, Setapak. Police did not rule out the possibility that the “Kampung Baru molester” is the one responsible for these two cases, which occurred within 2km of each other.
2) Nisha Chandramohan - Missing in Malaysia
Nisha Chandramohan, 2 years old, was last seen on June 4, 2010. She was taken for a walk by her mentally ill aunt from her grandmother's Mentakab home in the state of Pahang, Malaysia.
Nisha has suffered from epilepsy since she was a five-month-old baby and she needs to receive daily medication. She is prone to seizure if she laughs a lot or cries continuously. Her right hand and leg are weak, and she always uses her left hand. She wears a leg-supporting device to bed every day.

~Missing children alert system ready~
KUALA LUMPUR:
The early alert system for missing children is already in place but it is not called Nurin Alert,after Nurin Jazlin Jazimin who was found brutally murdered last year.
Women family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen said a mechanism similar to Nurin Alert was already in place.
"I've said it clearly that the name 'Nurin Alert'is not our programme or part of our plans on child protection.But the whole merchanism and processesfrom A to Z have been discussed and is already in place",she said.
The so-called "Nationwide Urgent Response Information Network"( Nurin Alert ) was first mooted last year,four months after the broken body of 8-year-old Nurin was found.
She had been sexually assaulted,murdered and her body stuffed into a gym bag.The mechanism was modelled after the United States'Amber alert--an emergency response system that galvanises the authorities and the community to locate missing children.
Dr Ng said the yet to be named emergency response mechanism was a major component of the proposed Child Protection Policy."We didn't use the name Nurin Alert.America used Amber Alert.We have not decided.
However,she pointed out that it was up to the police to act first in a missing case."In our intens e desire to save children,we must know what is the best mechanism to do so.The first thing to do when a child goes missing is to make a police report.
"We can't instruct the police on what to do.It is a police matter and they know how to handle it"
Dr Ng said it was inappropriate to "splash the news of a missing child in newspapers for the first few hours."
"This creates panic and they ( kidnappers ) may kill the child,"she said.
On the task force investigating the alleged abuse of Penan women and girls,she said the outcome of the investigation would be made public next month.
"We'll leave no stone unturned.There is nothing to hide in this case.
"I will even go to the extent of saying that if we need to test the DNA of the child to find out who the father is,we will do that."
