SEREMBAN, Dec 22 — Fifty people who were stranded without food and medicine following the floods that hit the Kenaboi State Park in Jelebu two days ago, have been rescued by the 15th Battalion of the Royal Malay Regiment (15 RAMD).

The Malaysian Army (TDM) in a statement today said  two officers and 23 men of the 15 RAMD were deployed to search for flood victims at the location.

“Earlier, military personnel had found three flood victims searching for food at 11.15am. Following that, a reconnaissance team was set up to find an entry point and identify the number of civilians who needed help,” the statement said.

It explained that out of the total, 31 people agreed to be taken out and placed at the Bukit Perjuangan Recreation Camp while the remaining 19 who refused to leave were reported to the Jelebu District Disaster Operations Control Centre (PKOB) for further action.
