6 hikers missing in Malaysia for days found after rescuers spot smoke signal
Rescuers found the group after spotting a smoke signal in an aerial survey, and all six were medically assessed in good condition, officials said.
- On Monday, September 7, search and rescue teams located six missing hikers in the Gunung Trans Gerah forest after detecting a smoke signal during an aerial survey by a helicopter.
- The group—including family members Wan Ahmad Aslam Wan Zairudin, Siti Zulaiha Norizan, Diya Raisha Wan Ahmad Aslam, and Ahmad Raef Wan Ahmad Aslam, plus guides Shafiee Sidek and Hazman Mamat—entered the forest on August 29 and went silent after September 1.
- A 25-member rescue team coordinated the operation, with 11 personnel flown by helicopter to Kem Kulim, where hikers were estimated to be about one hour away.
- Following their recovery, the hikers were transported to the Pos Kemar health clinic, where officials confirmed all six are in good health and uninjured.
- Wan Zairudin Wan Ismail, whose son was among the missing, had expressed concern that dwindling food supplies—intended to last only six or seven days—would strain the group during the challenging Trans GBB expedition.
