  "summary": "Six hikers, including two children, who went missing while trekking the Gunung Trans Gerah trail in Gua Musang, Perak, have managed to contact their families and report that they are safe, according to the Gerik police chief. The exact condition of the victims, including any potential injuries, cannot be confirmed until the rescue team successfully locates them. The rescue process, which may involve land or air extraction, will depend on the victims' condition and location once the SAR team meets them. The Perak Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) played a crucial role in the operation, utilizing a helicopter to detect smoke signals and locate the group in the forested area of Pos Kemar, which is estimated to be about an hour's journey from Kem Kulim.",
