“The son of the elderly man searched for him unsuccessfully after he did not return home, and he went to the Sarawak General Hospital (SGH) to try.

“He (the son) then visited the Stampin Democratic Action Party (DAP) service centre for assistance as they could not identify the person involved in the accident nor the person who brought the victim to SGH, as they left him there without leaving any information,” he added.
