Sammy said this recording is not related to the recent case (Putatan Report/3832/2024) of the two boys who were found.
On that note, Sammy urged the public to refrain from uploading or spreading unverified information on any social media platforms or applications, as it could cause unnecessary public alarm.
He also advised parents and guardians to closely monitor their children’s activities and social circles to prevent any untoward incidents.
