Woman still missing after five days of SAR ops
SARATOK: A search and rescue (SAR) operation for a woman, 69, who failed to return home from her farm in Kampung Semarang Pusa near here since last Friday drew a blank yesterday.
Head of Fire and Rescue Department here, Nazry Mohamat, said the operation yesterday involved three policemen, 10 Civil Defence personnel, 20 villagers and seven firemen including members of Bomba Dog (K9) unit.
“The day’s search which covered a radius of 2.5km from the farm was another futile effort. We will resume the operation tomorrow morning (today),” he said after calling off the operation late yesterday afternoon
The woman, identified as Rahobah Morni, was said to have set out alone on foot from her house in Kampung Semarang Pusa to the family’s farm last Friday morning.
When she failed to return home by 4.30pm, her elder sister became worried and sought the assistance of villagers to look for her (Rahobah).
After all efforts to locate the woman went futile, a missing person report was lodged at Pusa Police Station that same day, Nazry said.
