Gua Musang police: Six hikers feared missing after entering forest via Lojing and not emerging in Perak

Six people, including four family members and two mountain guides, are missing after entering a forest in Kelantan and failing to emerge in Perak as scheduled.

The group, last contacted in a forest area in Perak, had the necessary permits and engaged two guides, according to Gua Musang police.

Authorities are coordinating with counterparts in Perak and investigating the transportation details used by the group.

KOTA BHARU, Sept 6 — Six individuals — four family members and two mountain guides — who entered a forest area through Pos Dakoh, Lojing, Gua Musang on August 29 are feared missing after not leaving at Pos Kemar, Perak as scheduled on September 3.

Gua Musang district police chief Supt Sik Choon Foo said family members of the hikers lodged a police report in Selangor today after they failed to return from their hike on the set date, adding that checks with the Forestry Department showed that the last contact with the group revealed that they were in the forest area in Perak.

“For now, we are dealing with the Perak authorities to secure confirmation as based on their last contact, they were in Perak and no longer in Kelantan,” he said when contacted today, adding that the group had permits to enter the forest and engaged the services of two mountain guides.

“We haven’t conducted an operation in Kelantan as checks revealed they crossed the state’s borders. We are preparing if there are developments or confirmation that they are in the Kelantan area,” he said.

The police are also checking information about the vehicle used by the group, including the possibility they used rental vehicles or transport arranged by the mountain guides. — Bernama

包括四名家庭成员和两名登山向导在内的六人进入吉兰丹州的森林后失踪，未能按计划抵达霹雳州。

据瓜拉姆桑警方称，该团伙最后一次与外界联系是在霹雳州的一片森林地区，他们持有必要的许可证并雇佣了两名向导。

当局正与霹雳州的同行协调，调查该团伙使用的交通工具细节。

哥打巴鲁，9月6日讯——8月29日，四名家庭成员和两名登山向导经由瓜拉姆桑洛京的达科哨所进入森林地区，但9月3日并未按计划从霹雳州的克玛哨所离开，目前恐已失踪。

瓜拉姆桑警区主任司督锡春福表示，登山者家属今天在雪兰莪州报案称，他们未能按期完成徒步旅行并返回。他还补充说，与林业部门核实后发现，该团队最后一次联系是在霹雳州的森林地区。

“目前，我们正在与霹雳州当局联系以确认情况，因为根据他们最后一次联系的情况，他们当时在霹雳州，已经不在吉兰丹州了，”他今天接受采访时表示，并补充说，该团队持有进入森林的许可证，并雇佣了两名登山向导。

他说：“由于检查显示他们已越过吉兰丹州边界，我们尚未在吉兰丹州展开行动。如果情况有变或确认他们身处吉兰丹州境内，我们将做好准备。”

警方还在调查该团伙所用车辆的信息，包括他们是否使用了租赁车辆或由登山向导安排的交通工具。——马新社
