Two Singaporean hikers rescued after missing for 3 days

KULAI: Two Singaporean hikers who went missing at Gunung Pulai near here since Monday have been found at 11.45am yesterday.
Dominick Tan Chang Xiang and Lum Jie were spotted by a police helicopter at Ulu Choh Pontian, which is near a lake. A rescue boat was sent to get them.
The Fire & Rescue Department and the police's K9 unit deployed personnel to the Forest Reserve area after receiving a distress call from Tan at 5.40pm on Monday. His mobile phone signal disappeared around 10pm.
Johor Fire and Rescue Department (Operations) assistant director Mohd Rizal Buang said the helicopter spotted someone in the water while scouring the area near the reservoir.
The hikers walked closer to the reservoir after hearing the sound of the helicopter.
They survived on several pieces of biscuits and dry food during their ordeal after walking 50km away from the gate of Gunung Pulai.
Tan and Lum were sent to the Pontian hospital for medical check-ups after their rescue. They left the hospital at 2.30pm and declined to speak to reporters waiting at the lobby.
Tan's father expressed appreciation to all parties involved in locating the duo.
The duo had earlier driven to Johor Baru on Monday and parked their car at the Kulai entry gate for their hike up Gunung Pulai.
