KUALA LUMPUR: About 30 members of a film crew who were trapped in a limestone cave in northern Malaysia during heavy rain on Wednesday (Oct 26) have been rescued.
Two police officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to release information, confirmed that all those trapped in Tempurung Cave in Perak’s Kampar district were safely evacuated. No further details were provided.
The Perak police chief said the crew comprised Malaysians and Singaporeans.
Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said that he had been notified of the incident, adding that the crew could not exit the cave due to a flash flood.
