SEREMBAN, May 31 — A Singaporean man was injured after allegedly falling at a rocky section while descending Gunung Datuk in Rembau near here this morning.
Kota Fire and Rescue Station chief Senior Fire Officer II Asnizam Kamberon said the department received a call regarding the incident involving the 52-year-old victim at 10.29am.
“The victim was among 11 hikers taking part in a climb to the summit of Gunung Datuk, accompanied by two Negeri Sembilan Forestry Mountain Guides (MGP).
“He is believed to have fallen at a rocky area near the summit staircase while descending the mountain and suffered a fracture to his right arm,” he told Bernama here yesterday.
