  "summary": "The search and rescue operation for three missing teenagers in Tanjung Lompat has been expanded to cover up to two nautical miles of coastal waters, following the discovery of one victim about 500 metres from the incident site. The expanded area takes into account the possibility that the missing teenagers are further away from their initial location. The operation, involving 41 officers and personnel from various agencies, resumed at 7am today and will continue to use drones to assist in the search, with flights scheduled during high tide. Rough weather is currently hampering the operation, with waves reaching 1.15 metres.",
