KUANTAN – One man died while four others are feared to have been buried alive following a landslide early today at Batu 54, Blue Valley, Cameron Highlands.
Pahang Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) assistant director (Operations) Ismail Abdul Ghani said the department received a distress call at 2.51am, and so far, the search and rescue operation is still ongoing.
