“So as of today, we have found six bodies, and they have been confirmed by victims’ kin or families. Yesterday, we found two and today, we found four, the remaining four victims are still missing,” he told a press conference in Chukai this evening. “We don’t want to conduct the search in bad weather as another water surge could occur. So as advised by Terengganu police chief just now, we are temporarily stopping the SAR operation and would resume when the situation permits,” he said.
“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.
