PETALING JAYA, Nov 27 — Retired teacher Kamar Mautum left for London last night, hoping she will be reunited with long lost sister Siti Aishah who is believed to be one of the three women rescued from being kept as ‘slaves’ in a London house for 30 years.

Kamar left with a UK Telegraph journalist. It was believed former student activist Hishamuddin Rais who helped the journalist track Kamar down also left for London.

Kamar had earlier revealed to the paper her missing sister was heavily involved with a left-wing movement and had turned her back on the family.

This was after their brother had discouraged Siti Aishah from visiting him at his house due to her involvement with a Maoist sect, she told the Telegraph.

“Aishah’s attitude was ‘if you don’t want me, fine’ and then she disappeared,” Kamar said.

Their brother later sought the help of Hishamuddin who once lived in the same district where the woman was found recently.

Kamar said the sister was in awe of the group’s leader Aravindan Balakrishnan, believed to be from Singapore, and his partner, a Tanzanian of Indian descent, Chandra Pattni.

However, Aravindan was suspended by the Communist Party of England on September 2, 1974, as stated in a Marxist website.

Kamar went on to say it was her mother’s dying wish to know what had happened to her daughter.

“She (Siti Aishah) was the apple of my mother’s eye. She asked for Siti Aishah on her death bed,” said Kamar who described Siti Aishah as having a promising future.

“I will do anything to bring her home. I want to see her before either of us dies,” Kamar told the paper.

British newspapers had reported Aravindan and Chandra were arrested last Thursday after the three alleged “slaves” — a Malaysian, a 57-year-old Irish woman and a 30-year-old Briton — were rescued by police on Oct 25.

One of them had apparently contacted a charity while the youngest of the trio had sent hundreds of love letters to a male neighbour but warned him not to confront the “captors”.

Astro Awani editor Zan Azlee, whose mother is Siti Aishah’s cousin, also left for London last night.

“The family is not placing high expectations. I’m going as a journalist and to support my aunt (Kamar),” said Zan.

UK police refused to confirm the identities of the women and the suspects. The couple have been given bail until January. However, police confirmed the three women were not sexually abused.

UK’s Daily Mail, meanwhile, identified the youngest victim as Rosie Davies and that her mother, Sian Davies, had “died in mysterious circumstances at a property where the alleged captors previously lived”.
