Kid‑nipping Drama at Genting Highlands – Two International Women Arrested
Picture this: a sunny day in Resorts World Genting, a crowd of parents and kids, and the sudden buzz of a TikTok video that turned what was supposed to be a fun outing into a headline‑maker. The story starts with a family—just a normal weekend adventure gone a bit too thrilling.
The Incident
- At 9 pm on September 19, a TikToker named Alfitry_azmi52 shared a clip of two foreign women allegedly swooping in at the Skytropolis indoor theme park.
- The duo, supposedly hurrying, grabbed a little boy’s hand and dashed away, leaving the men’s wife outside the roller coaster where she’d been sticking around with their son.
- No security guards were on hand, so the family had to call the casino’s do‑not‑wink‑around security team for a quick rescue.
- In the footage, Alfitry hints that one woman is from Indonesia and the other from Pakistan, sparking all kinds of online gossip.
Police Response
Almost immediately, the incident hit the local law‑enforcement radar. By Thursday, October 22 at 11:30 am, the two women were held in custody—an action taken under Section 363/511 of the Penal Code for kidnapping. The potential penalty? A ban‑till‑you‑gasp jail sentence of up to seven years or a hefty fine.
Bentong Police Chief Superintendent Zaiham Mohd Kahar confirmed that the park’s own security lodged a report that evening after the viral video hit the socials, but no official complaint from the parents had been filed yet. He urged the public to keep the speculation in check and let the investigation run its course.
Reactions from Resorts World Genting
Roll alliances that didn’t swoop in with the cameras: Resorts World Genting posted a quiet reminder on their social media feed, urging visitors to “beware of fake news and disinformation” after being tagged in the swirling online chatter. They didn’t comment on the arrests—just a gentle wish for everyone to read beyond the headlines.
Back to the TikTok Community
Alfitry, having made it clear he never intended for the clip to become a viral sensation, posted a follow‑up video on September 21 confirming that the police had resolved the issue. Some comments read: “Thanks for raising the alarm and for keeping it real.” Over 4.5 million views and nearly 7,000 comments show how quickly the world sprouted a new conversation thread.
Why the Crowd Seemed Confused
One curious netizen asked, “Why wasn’t there a security patrol in the park?” The answer? Many theme parks lean on private security and the surrounding casino staff for safety. But this incident has put that system under scrutiny—especially when two strangers seem to be making the best of a crowded park.

When a Kidnapper Turns Into a Baby‑Snatcher
Back in 2019, the City Square Mall in Johor Bahru saw a bizarre scene that could have straight out of a thriller movie. A 35‑year‑old man walked into the mall with a mission: to snatch a three‑year‑old girl away from her family.
Claimed Fatherhood (Only for the 3‑Year‑Old)
Picture this: the man insisting that he was the child’s father—no proof, just a stubborn claim. He stalked the family like a persistent, impossible customer, waiting for the moment the girl’s parents might give in. They were on the fence, so they had to call the police.
How He Got a Cuffed Hand
- Public Tip-Off: A helpful passerby told the police right on the spot.
- Quick Capture: Police swooped in, and the suspect was hauled into custody.
Police’s Take on the “Kidnapping”
The authorities clarified that the suspect’s motivation was the grimmest of the “child welfare” motives—he wanted to raise the toddler as his own, not just take a free pass on it. There was no link to any big‑wig kid‑abduction rings or syndicates in this case.
Takeaway for Parents and Theme‑Park Goers
If you’re strolling through malls—especially those packed like a carnival—keep your eyes on your little ones. And if you ever hear a random man claiming to be a dad with a toddler in tow, just whisper, “Sorry, we’re not buying the ticket to your drama.” It’s all about staying safe and letting the real heroes (police, parents) handle the show!
