Eight people, including seven foreign nationals, were swept away by strong currents in the water surge incident on Monday. (Bernama pic)PETALING JAYA: The fire and rescue department is working with the Sungai Selangor dam management to keep water releases suspended while it searches for three people still missing in Sungai Pertak, Kuala Kubu Bharu.
The department's operations division director, Abdul Razak Muda, said the measure was necessary to prevent sudden changes in water currents from widening the search area and complicating efforts to locate the victims.
“To keep the search area contained, we have communicated with the dam management to ensure that water releases remain suspended until all the victims are found,” Bernama quoted him as saying today.
