However, his friends reported him missing after they lost track of him at about 2pm when they were hiking the Telok Asam trail.

Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) operations centre (PGO) said upon reaching the base point, his friends immediately informed park rangers of the incident, prompting a search and rescue (SAR) operation at 6.30pm.

While the SAR operation was going on this morning, Shin somehow found his way back and returned to his chalet at 7.30am. — DayakDaily
