The comment by the OP translates as,

 

It’s been 3 hours. His parents hasn’t come back to find him. Boy’s been crying until he has no voice. What’s strange is that no neighbours, teachers, students, relatives, or friends recognise him. Feeling a bit glum about this.

While little is known about the circumstances that led to the 5-year-old’s plight, the OP hopes that everyone could help spread the word so that his parents can come back for him.

The post has garnered over 4,300 shares within 2 hours.

Call petrol station staff if you have information

If you know the poor boy’s parents, firstly, you should definitely start calling them. Alternatively, the post has also provided a Malaysian number you can contact: +6010-9861 530.

Hopefully, the power of the Internet will reunite this separated family, and put an end to the boy’s distress.
