Another Singaporean hiker had quite a big scare when he lost his way at the Kebun Cina Forest Reserve trail in Sandakan district.
The man had entered the trail at around 6pm Sunday (Jan 15), and did not return by 7.15pm as required, said Sabah Chief Conservator of Forests Datuk Frederick Kugan.
He said the hiker called for help when he failed to find his way out, and shared his location to the authorities.
“A platoon of 21 people including forestry staff were activated and dispatched to find the man,” he said in a statement, Monday (Jan 16).
Kugan said they managed to locate the man at 9.05pm and led him out to safety.
“We are glad that the man was found that night,” he said. (No need OT )
He advised hikers to refrain from entering the trail after dark as they could lose their way, causing panic.
Although the Kebun Cina Forest Reserve is quite small at 148.7ha, the geographical conditions were quite challenging, definitely not for noobs.
“Therefore, please take precautions,” he said, adding there are two marked routes to choose from when hiking at the trail - one was concrete and the other, natural.
The public is allowed to enter the area for recreational purposes free of charge.
