Missing persons incidents in Malaysian rivers
Overview
Search and rescue operations have been conducted in different regions of Malaysia following reports of individuals missing in rivers.
In Kedah, authorities launched a search in the Lubuk Kawah River after a 77-year-old man, Mat Yusof Hashim, disappeared when his vehicle veered off the road and plunged into the water. While the vehicle was recovered, the driver was not found inside. Rescuers utilized boats, diving techniques, and K9 units to navigate challenges such as strong currents and underwater obstacles.
In Perak, a separate incident resulted in the recovery of the body of 74-year-old Heng Heng Kem. After a three-day search, rescue teams located her in the Perak River near Teluk Intan, approximately 30 kilometers from where she was initially reported missing after falling into the river.
