Community Unites to Find Missing 11-Year-Old Boy

SINGAPORE – The clock is ticking as the police urgently seek your help in locating an 11-year-old boy, Muhammad Hairil Effendi, who vanished without a trace from Marine Terrace on August 29 around 11:05 AM.

Described as special needs and mostly non-verbal, Hairil was last spotted wearing nothing but grey shorts—no shoes or shirt. His worried mother, Ms. Ain, reported that they realized he was missing shortly after 11 AM, when a neighbor’s CCTV footage captured him leaving their home.

Community Comes Together for the Search

In a heartwarming display of unity, the local community has rallied to aid in the search, extending their efforts to East Coast Park and the Lagoon area. Knowing Hairil’s love for exploring stairways, volunteers have combed through the Marine Terrace housing estate, leaving no stone unturned.

Classes at Minds Towner Gardens School, where Hairil is enrolled, have been paused as his teacher joins the frantic search. Family members are also stepping in, despite the emotional toll and exhaustion weighing heavily on his parents, who are determined to find their son.

Authorities urge anyone with information to step forward. Every little bit counts in this critical time. If you see Hairil or have any leads, please contact the police immediately. Let’s ensure this beloved boy returns home safely!
