  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: A father's fear for his missing family in a hiking expedition grows as time passes. Wan Zairudin Wan Ismail, 66, from Shah Alam, Selangor, remains worried about his son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren who have been unaccounted for since last Thursday. He believes they may have been injured and run out of food, as their supplies were only enough for six or seven days, and it has been over 10 days. Wan Zairudin lodged a police report at Bukit Jelutong police station in Shah Alam after his son's family failed to return as scheduled. The Fire and Rescue Department has launched a SAR operation with helicopter assistance to locate the missing group. The family, who were hiking along the Trans GBB route in Gua Musang, Kelantan, towards Kem Kemor in Perak, were originally scheduled to return to Yong Peng two days ago. The father's only hope now is for a swift SAR operation to ensure the safety of his grandchildren.",
