KUALA LUMPUR, October 13 — A man in his 40s is feared to have drowned after being swept away in Sungai Chuah, Kajang, on Sunday. Ashrul Riezal Asbar, operations assistant director of the Selangor Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM), stated that the search and rescue (SAR) operation, which began the previous day, was halted at 4:30 pm due to heavy rainfall and will recommence tomorrow.
The search involved the use of kayaks, boats, and ground teams along the riverbanks. JBPM received an emergency call at 5:23 pm regarding a local man who had been swept away and later disappeared from sight. A team from the Kajang Fire and Rescue Station arrived at the scene approximately four kilometres away at 5:29 pm before the SAR operation was expanded with assistance from stations in Shah Alam and Port Klang.
The search was conducted alongside the efforts of JBPM's K9 tracker dog unit and Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) personnel.
