The teenager, Muhammad Firdaus Dullah was covered in filth and his own faeces when found by Immigration officers at the flat in Taman Semarak in Nilai.

NILAI: An Immigration team conducting checks to weed out illegals walked into a shocking sight at a block of flats in Taman Semarak near here – a severely malnourished and physically handicapped teenager locked in a unit.

The 15-year-old boy, who is also believed to be mentally challenged, was naked but for a tattered, soiled t-shirt and was covered in his own faeces and urine in one of the rooms of the unit.

The officers themselves were stunned. “Oh God! This is so cruel,” said the officer who stumbled upon the boy.

The room was littered with broken polysterene boxes. While there was a wheelchair in the room, the teen could only move on his buttocks and could not use his legs.

Preliminary investigations revealed that he had been left there by his relatives as they could not care for him.

State Immigration director Faizal Fazri Othman said investigations revealed the teenager’s name was Muhammad Firdaus Dullah and that he was of Bajau descent.

“When my officers found him, he only had a torn, soiled t-shirt on and his entire body was covered in faeces and urine.

“He was incredibly thin and we could see all the bones in his emaciated frame,” he said, adding that the teenager was also unable to stand or sit on his own.

The teenager’s limbs were also deformed, believed to have been caused by severe malnutrition.

Faizal said the teenager also looked as he was only half his age due to his condition.

“The entire unit was also full of filth with used polystyrene packs scattered all over the place,” he said, adding that his officers managed to find the teenager’s birth certificate in the unit.

Faizal said his officers managed to contact the teenager’s 39-year-old mother and that the case had been referred to the Welfare Department.

“We believe that the mother was employed as a helper at an eatery in Sepang.

“We have sent the teenager to the Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital for treatment,” he added.

Akaun Facebook yang dipercayai milik ibu kepada remaja OKU, Muhammad Firdaus Dullah.

PETALING JAYA: Penemuan seorang remaja lelaki Orang Kurang Upaya (OKU) dalam keadaan menyayat hati mengundang kemarahan orang ramai apabila sebuah akaun Facebook yang dipercayai milik ibu mangsa dikongsi secara meluas di Internet.

Akaun Facebook yang menggunakan nama 'Imashima Lola' dengan gambar profil 'selfie' wanita memakai tudung merah itu mula dikongsi di laman sosial sejak petang Ahad dengan pelbagai komen negatif.

Antara komen pengguna Facebook di akaun milik wanita yang dipercayai ibu kepada Muhammad Firdaus Dullah.

Kebanyakannya mengecam wanita berkenaan kerana berkelakuan tidak berperikemanusiaan terhadap anaknya sendiri dengan mengurung dan membiarkan remaja OKU itu hidup menderita bergelumang dengan tanah dan najis.

Hasil pemeriksaan di akaun berkenaan juga mendapati terdapat beberapa keping gambar yang dipercayai mirip wajah mangsa, Muhammad Firdaus Dullah, 15, yang ditemui Jabatan Imigresen Negeri Sembilan pada awal pagi Sabtu.

Gambar ramaja yang dimuat naik pada September 2013 berpakaian kemeja-t dengan potongan rambut paras bahu itu turut dikongsi dengan pelbagai komen simpati oleh pengguna Facebook.

Gambar remaja yang dilihat mirip Muhammad Firdaus Dullah.

Berdasarkan pemerhatian, remaja berkenaan yang kelihatan sihat dan berisi dilihat duduk di atas sebuah sofa fabrik yang sama dengan kusyen dalam rumah di mana Muhammad Firdaus ditemui.

Menurut maklumat peribadi Imashima Lola yang berasal dari Sabah itu, dia yang tinggal di Kampong Nilai, Negeri Sembilan bekerja di sebuah syarikat katering yang beroperasi di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (KLIA).

Kali terakhir Imashima Lola mengemaskini status Facebooknya ialah pada 19 Jun lalu.

Sejak Sabtu, negara dikejutkan dengan berita penemuan remaja OKU ketika Ops 6P oleh Jabatan Imigresen Negeri Sembilan dalam keadaan menyedihkan di sebuah rumah pangsa di Taman Semarak, Nilai.

Menurut Pengarah jabatan berkenaan Faizal Fazri Othman, remaja berumur 15 tahun itu bukan hanya kurus kering, malah persekitaran bilik di rumah pangsa itu didapati dipenuhi dengan tanah dan najis.
