Police have denied a father's claim that they are not doing enough to find his missing teenage daughter.

A spokesman said yesterday they had been updating Wong Kay-jor 'very frequently', and had contacted her school, school social workers and schoolmates and searched the area around her home.

The spokesman denied Mr Wong had been told to post missing person notices himself and said the West Kowloon missing persons unit was continuing to investigate her case.

But a distressed Mr Wong yesterday continued to claim the police were not doing enough to find his daughter. 'What's the point in going to the police? Why don't I just go and look for her myself?' he said.

Mr Wong said he had called the West Kowloon missing persons unit every day since reporting on May 25 that Wong Ka-ting, 15, was missing. He had been to Tuen Mun Pier, where Ka-ting's bag had been found more than a dozen times to canvas the area with missing person's notices.

Ka-ting, who attended the Kowloon Sam Yuk Secondary School, went missing on May 20 after leaving home at 7am. An entry in her diary, which was found in her bag, led her parents to believe she might have jumped into the sea to meet a ghost she said she had fallen in love with during a s?ance.
