THE seventh day of the search and rescue (SAR) at the Father’s Organic Farm, campsite in Gohtong Jaya, Batang Kali, was suspended due to deteriorating weather conditions at 8pm today and is expected to continue at 8am tomorrow morning.

Hulu Selangor police chief Suffian Abdullah confirmed the postponement and the resumption tomorrow.

In the tragic landslide that struck the campsite at 2.42am last Friday, 30 people were engulfed in the mud, while 61 people were rescued or escaped. One person is still missing.

Four more bodies were found today, a man, a woman and two children.

However, heavy rain at the area forced the suspension of the SAR to enable geologists to inspect the earth movement.

During a press conference held in the afternoon, police confirmed that the number of campers at the site during the tragedy was 92 and not 94 as reported earlier.

Selangor police chief Arjunaidi Mohamed said the new total number of victims was confirmed after reviewing several documents, data and reports received from various parties, including the families of the victims. – Bernama, December 22, 2022.
