PETALING JAYA – The sister of a missing female hiker, Jaslinda Saludin, 49, has expressed her sadness over the various speculations, assumptions and negative comments made by some social media users following the incident involving her family.

In a post on TikTok account @Minjd74, the woman shared a photo with Jaslinda while expressing her feelings about remarks she described as hurtful during a difficult time for them.

She said the experience they have gone through recently has opened her eyes to the attitude of some people online who are quick to judge without understanding the full situation.

Jaslinda was last seen on May 24, as captured on a surveillance camera at Gunung Batu Putih.

“After everything my family has been through, I realise how easy it is for people to make assumptions and pass judgment without understanding the whole story.

“Every comment made has a deep impact on us as we are trying to cope with this grief and pain,” she said in a post uploaded, last night.

She also expressed concern over the attitude of certain individuals who are more inclined to voice opinions without prioritising empathy.

She said while opinions can spread quickly on social media, compassion and consideration for others’ feelings are often overlooked.

“This experience has taught me that kindness does not require anything in return. Compassion is invaluable and understanding should come before judgment because behind every story, there is a heart that is hurting,” she said.

Among the search and rescue (SAR) personnel involved in the operation to locate Jaslinda, who has been reported missing at Gunung Batu Putih since May 23.

At the same time, the woman also apologised if her sister had ever hurt anyone and expressed appreciation to all those who continue to pray and assist in the search efforts for Jaslinda.

“I apologise if my sister has ever hurt anyone. Only Allah SWT can repay those who continuously pray and help in the search for Jaslinda. Thank you,” she said.
