Three friends of the missing 11-year-old boy, who claimed to have seen Asmawi at Midvalley Mega Mall on Wednesday, have been called in by police for a second time to review more clips from the CCTV camera system.
The friends could not identify him from the first set of images they were shown, so police got several other clips for them to view.
They showed a boy believed to be Asmawi with one or more adults who could be his kidnappers.
Sources say police are banking on the friends for more leads to who may have abducted Asmawi.
Brickfields acting police chief Superintendent Azri Abd Rahman said that on Friday, the three boys were taken to the Federal Police Sexual, Abuse and Child Investigation division (D11) in Bukit Aman to be interviewed by experts.
"We need to get more details from them, and the experts may be able to coax them into revealing more," said Azri.
He said police were still investigating the RM5,000 ransom demand Asmawi's family received by text message on Wednesday.
Yesterday Lembah Pantai member of parliament Nurul Izzah Anwar spent about an hour with Asmawi's mother at her Pantai Dalam home.
She assured Rozita Abu Hassan that everything possible is being done to find her son.
"I implore the kidnappers to return Asmawi unharmed," said Izzah.
Said Rozita: "She (Izzah) gave me strength, asking me to pray for Asmawi's safe return. She said I should not act on my own in trying to find him, but I should let the police do their job."
Asked whether she was angry at whoever might have taken her child, Rozita said: "I'm not angry, as long as that person returns Asmawi unharmed."
The Year Five pupil of Sekolah Kebangsaan La Salle Brickfields went missing about 6.30pm on Sunday.
He and a friend had gone to a playground about 200 metres from his home about 5pm.
Anyone with any information on the boy's whereabouts should contact the nearest police station or the Brickfields police at 03-2274-4465.
