Water surge tragedy: Six bodies found, four still missing

: The number of bodies found on the second day of the search and rescue operation for victims of the water surge in Jeram Air Putih, here today is four and not seven as informed earlier.

“The search team at the location is facing communication problem because communication devices are not functioning properly due to the thick forest and undulating terrain,” he told a media conference here this evening. Meanwhile, Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar in the media conference said the Operations Control Centre here is receiving information from time to time from the Malaysian Meteorological Department on the weather condition at the search location.

Ahmad Samsuri who had previously visited the relatives of the victims at the Operation Control Centre also said that the Terengganu Islamic Religion and Malay Customs Council will bear all costs related to sending the remains to Felda Lepar Hilir, Kuantan, Pahang. “We will look comprehensively and not only in Kemaman as there are danger warning notices put up at other areas of rapids and advice to watch out for the weather... so we will look again into the effectiveness of the notices and see if another form of supervision is necessary,“ he said.
