KUANTAN: A Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) student is missing and feared drowned after he was swept away by the current while bathing at the Bekelah waterfall near Gambang, today.

Ang Kent Chin, 21, had gone to the picnic area at 8am along with his fellow UMP students for a co-curriculum activity and reported missing at about 10.30am.

Pahang Fire and Rescue public relations officer Anuar Hassan said the department was informed of the incident shortly after and despatched a team to the scene.

They had to trek uphill for three hours to reach the spot, he said, adding that a search operation was now underway.  -- BERNAMA
