KUALA LUMPUR – Four victims, believed to have been declared missing in last Friday’s massive landslide in Batang Kali, turned up at the search-and-rescue operations centre there today.
According to the New Straits Times, the victims were two locals and two foreigners spotted passing the media’s camp, and who headed to the centre at 4.18pm.
The NST report said that the victims were seen crying as they were led into the command centre.
Authorities have yet to issue a statement on the matter, but their appearance could mean that the search for the remaining nine victims is now down to only five people.
Earlier this morning, rescuers at the landslide faced a new challenge in their efforts to locate nine more victims who are still missing, Bernama reported.
Besides the softening of the ground, rescuers also face squelchy soil as deep as 16m.
“The depth is the deepest recorded so far because of the rain yesterday,” said Selangor Fire and Rescue Department assistant director (operations) Hafisham Mohd Noor.
In the 2.42am incident on Friday, a landslide measuring almost 300m long and 70m high came crashing onto the campsite located along Jalan Genting-Batang Kali.
As of noon today, nine victims were still missing while 24 out of 94 people who were at the campsite were confirmed dead. – The Vibes, December 19, 2022
