KUCHING, Aug 12: A 67-year-old local man is feared to have gone missing at Kampung Semukoi A in Serian.
According to a report from the Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba), a call was received at 2.55pm today, and firefighters from the Serian station were deployed.
Based on the chronology of events, the victim, identified as Gingan Dalot, left his house at around 12pm on Monday (Aug 11) using a Honda RS150 motorcycle and until today, he has not returned home.
The victim was last seen at the Gendong junction. He was wearing a black shirt, pair of long green pants, and a pair of green boots.
A search operation was carried out by the victim’s family, as well as villagers, but he was not found—prompting the family to lodge a police report before requesting assistance from Bomba.
On the first day of the search and rescue (SAR) operation, the team went to the Tabung Haji plantation area, where workers reported seeing the victim passing through at about 2pm today, and firefighters immediately entered the plantation area to look for the victim’s trail.
The search continued until the end of the plantation road, about 10 km from the entrance junction, where the team found the victim’s motorcycle.
The team then searched the surrounding area where the motorcycle was found, but found no signs of the victim’s whereabouts.
At 6pm, the search was suspended as it was getting dark and will resume tomorrow (Aug 13). — DayakDaily
