GEMAS: The body of a Bangladeshi man was discovered floating in Sungai Muar near Kampung Kuala Gemas in Gemas earlier today.
Tampin police chief Supt Amiruddien Sariman stated that authorities received a report at 9.55 am regarding the finding.

The remains have been sent to the Forensic Department of Tampin Hospital for a post-mortem, with the case classified as sudden death.
