KUALA KUBU BARU: A holiday outing turned into a tragedy for a 19-year-old Yemeni student who survived a water surge at the Lata Jebus campsite along Sungai Luit yesterday.
Muhammad, a student at a private college in Kuala Lumpur, said he had gone to the campsite with four friends for a picnic during the Deepavali break.
They arrived around 5pm, when the weather was fine and there was no indication of an impending water surge.
"Three of us then went swimming along the riverbank when the current suddenly became strong and swept them away.
