  "account": "JERTIH, October 17 — A father and son from Kedah are missing in a forest near the La Hot Spring recreational area after venturing there to search for medicinal roots on Thursday. Identified as Adam Adnan, 25, and his father Adnan Mohamad, 57, the duo were from Kulim and Alor Setar respectively. They were staying at Desa Landak Chalet in Kampung Padang Landak before entering the forest around 7am on Thursday. At approximately 3:30pm on the same day, one of the men contacted a relative, stating they were lost and unable to find their way out of the forest. By this time, attempts to reach them proved fruitless, prompting concern among their relatives. A search and rescue operation is currently in progress, involving the Fire and Rescue Department, the Civil Defence Force, and local villagers.",
