After deadly hiking tragedy, Perak temporarily closes all state forest reserves to leisure activity

IPOH, May 18 — Mentri Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad said Perak will close all 14 forest reserves under the supervision of the State Forestry Department for all leisure and recreational activities with immediate effect.

Saarani also said the authorities have problems keeping track of the hikers as some tend to not follow the schedule given to them. Saarani also reminded the public to be alert and cautious when in forest reserve areas with waterfalls, as the water surge phenomenon was unpredictable. On May 15, two women, See Su Yen, 32, and Ng Yee Chew, 46, were swept away by a water surge, while hiking around 5am.
