KUALA LUMPUR – At least 13 people have been found dead with around 25 others feared trapped in a landslide in Malaysia on Friday, the country’s health minister said.
Around 60 victims have been rescued as at 10.40am with seven others injured, Malaysia’s National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) said, from the campsite at Father’s Organic Farm at Batang Kali, on the outskirts of capital Kuala Lumpur.
At least 13 people were found dead, Malaysia’s health minister Zaliha Mustafa said when visiting some victims receiving treatment at Hospital Selayang in Selangor. Among those confirmed dead were one boy, six women and one man, Malaysian police said.
Around 94 victims in total were affected, with all of them local residents including workers at the campsite, Hulu Selangor district police chief Suffian Abdullah said.
Those rescued have been sent to a police station in Selangor, with three Singaporeans among those saved, according to Malaysian daily China Press.
The campsite is located on Jalan Genting, Gohtong Jaya, less than 15km away from Genting Highlands. The camp, which is en route to the popular travel destination that houses a casino and theme park, offers eco-tourism packages including educational guides on organic vegetable farming.
