## Came to Malaysia to sell cryptocurrency

According to [AsiaOne](https://www.asiaone.com/singapore/singapore-man-who-went-jb-3-days-ago-cant-be-reached-family-makes-police-report), Manuel, originally from the Philippines, reportedly crossed the border into Malaysia at around 2:55 pm on Tuesday (28 May).

According to a friend named Zhong, he had traveled to JB to sell his cryptocurrency, valued at RM240,000. The details of the transaction, including its location and time, remain unknown.

> **We don't know the full details of his crypto transaction, so we're a bit lost on where to start looking if we were to go into JB," she told the Singapore-based digital media company**.

Subsequent calls and messages from his family went unanswered.

The last known record of Manuel's movements was a Grab ride from his Bukit Merah residence to Bugis Bus Terminal at Queen Street.

His brother has filed a police report in both Singapore and JB.

## Set to marry in seven months

Manuel, a computer analyst, was last seen wearing blue jeans and a black top, with a distinctive birthmark on his right eye.

**Known for being responsible and usually reachable, his disappearance has deeply worried his loved ones, especially as he is set to marry in seven months.**

Manuel's fiancée, who chose to remain unnamed, shared that they had planned to have dinner together on the day he went missing.

She last heard from him at 3:45 pm, but her subsequent messages did not go through. The couple, who met 11 years ago in a university co-curricular activity, had plans to choose a BTO flat next month.

The family and friends are urging anyone with information to come forward.
