Rescuers have found a Mitsubishi Pajero swept away by a headwater surge in the Klang River near Saloma Link, but the man who was in the vehicle remains missing. The vehicle was discovered 1.5km downstream from the incident site after three days of intensive search efforts. The discovery comes as a relief to emergency services, including the Fire and Rescue Department, Civil Defence Force, and police, who have been working tirelessly to locate the missing man. The police chief, Asst Comm Sazalee Adam, confirmed that the victim's phone, which had been ringing, is now inactive, indicating that the victim may not have survived the incident. The search and rescue operation will continue until 7 pm, focusing on four designated zones and using drones, small boats, and kayaks to cover nearly 20km of the river. The authorities are also examining the possibility of the victim being carried further downstream, and any suspicious structures or obstructions along the river will be designated as 'hot spots' for divers to focus on. The initial emergency call was received by the Kuala Lumpur Operations Centre on Monday via the Titiwangsa Fire and Rescue Station, and firefighters from Titiwangsa and Jalan Hang Tuah stations were dispatched to the location, where they found 12 workers trapped under the bridge. A rope-based rescue operation successfully saved all 12 workers, including one Malaysian and 11 foreign workers from Indonesia and Bangladesh. However, one man, a 34-year-old Malaysian site supervisor, remains missing after being swept away by strong currents while attempting to move a vehicle parked under the bridge as the surge arrived. The authorities are now working to locate the missing man and bring closure to the families of both the victim and the missing man.
