KOTA KINABALU, July 21:
It just broke Syarifah Erna Berson’s heart to hear her husband, Constable Zakiah Aleip, cry when he called recently. “He is a very strong man and to hear him cry just breaks my heart,” said the 23-year-old, describing Zakiah, who was kidnapped by a group of eight heavily armed men from southern Philippines at the Mabul Water Bungalow Resort on July 12.
Syarifah said when she first received his calls, just a couple of days after his abduction, she dared not call him back.
“The second time he called, we spoke for about two to three minutes. He cried and told me he missed our son and family.
“He also told me he was worried about our well being. I had to be strong and told him that we are doing fine, and told him to take care and stay healthy,” she said, when met after receiving assistance from the police during the launch of the Op Selamat campaign at the Segama Waterfront here today. The couple have a four-month-old son, Muhammad Hisham Izzuddin. Expressing her worries about his safety, deep down she believed he is safe.
“He told me that he hoped he would be reunited with us before Hari Raya, so we can celebrate the festival as a family as planned.” Sharifah said she prayed day and night for her husband’s safe return, adding that her parents-in-law had been very helpful and understanding.
“We confided in each other, and although they put up a strong front, I know they are hurting inside. They are very worried of their son’s safety,” she said.
Zakiah was kidnapped by the gunmen, while his colleague Corporal Ab Rajah Jamuan was killed in the 11am incident. Meanwhile, Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman said they were working hard to ensure Zakiah was released before Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
“The police and leaders are in the middle of negotiating for his release, and we hope it can happen soon,” he said, declining to elaborate in the matter.
“Outsiders have no right to ask for information on the matter and I don’t have the right to share it either. All that matters is that he is safe and well up to now." He said the kidnappers had been in contact with Zakiah’s wife as well as police officials. Read more: http://ift.tt/WtB071
