51 adults, 30 children registered at Batang Kali campsite

A total of 51 adults and 30 children had been registered for overnight stay at the Father’s Organic Farm campsite in Batang Kali, which was hit by a landslide early this morning. 

"The number comprises those who had registered with the campsite," a supervisor who gave her name as Chang, told Bernama when contacted. 

However, Chang said she was unsure if there were any children below four years of age at the campsite as they were not required to register. Only children between four and 12 years old need to register.

Chang said the campers were mostly families with no groups of school or university students.

It was initially reported that about 100 people were feared to be trapped at the campsite following the landslide which fell from a height of 30m.

As of 11am, 53 victims had been brought out, while nine had died.

The search and rescue operation remains ongoing.
