Two Singaporeans have been reported missing in a mountain in Johor since Monday afternoon (5 February).
A search-and-rescue effort is ongoing at Gunung Pulai in Kulai, Johor where the two have been missing.
The Kulai district police chief said in a statement that the two Singaporeans, a man and a woman were still missing as at 11am yesterday.
Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that they are in contact with the local authorities who are coordinating the search operations.
A Johor newspaper reported that the mountain was closed and the hikers entered through a mountain trail. It is believed that the woman hurt herself and the man tried to call for help on his phone.
Residents around the area said the pair parked their Singapore-registered car in front of a house and entered the mountain trail at about noon.
Some Facebook posts identified the woman as Lum Jie (Clarice). A Facebook post said the name of the man is Dominick Tan.
