Bodies of treasure hunters buried at Gunung Jerai foothill found
GURUN: The bodies of two men digging for treasure at the foot of Gunung Jerai have been found today after they were buried under 15m of earth in a landslide yesterday afternoon.
Kedah Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) Senior Assistant Commissioner Sayani Saidon said the body of Roslan Saidin, 52, was spotted at 10.49am and recovered at 11.36am.
“The body of the second victim (Md Noor Shaari, 68) was found at 12.53pm and was retrieved at 1.01pm, while the entire operation was over at 1.15pm,“ she told reporters after a search and rescue operation at the scene of the incident, here today.
She said even though the two victims were found one to two metres apart, it took a while to excavate as the second body was buried deeper.
“We did not experience any difficulties during the operation due to the favourable weather conditions and the locations of the victims were detected by a tracker dog unit.
“Two excavators were used in this operation and before digging to find the victims, we have to stabilise the soil structure first,“ Sayani said.
In the 6pm Sunday incident, the victims were said to have been covered by falling earth due to a ground movement while excavating in 12m deep pit to find the treasure allegedly stored at the foothills of the mountain.
Kuala Muda district police chief Assistant Commissioner Adzli Abu Shah said the issue was serious and advised the public not to be fooled by the rumours.
“It is learned that there were looting of heritage properties at the location and I urge the public not to be involved in such unlawful activities.
“Furthermore, according to the National Heritage Department (JWN), the activity is an offence under Section 86 of the National Heritage Act which provides for a fine of up to RM50,000 or jailed up to five years,“ he said.
He said the authorities however classified the case as sudden death and the bodies of the victims were sent to Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital in Alor Star for post-mortem.
He said the excavated area would also be rehabilitated to ensure safety at the location. – Bernama

Ladang Bukit Batu in Sabah closes after employees test positive for Covid-19
TAWAU: Sabah Softwoods Berhad (SSB) has ceased operations at one of its estates, Ladang Bukit Batu in Kalabakan near here, after seven of its employees tested positive for Covid-19.
SSB chief executive officer, Hattah Jaafar, when met by Bernama at his office here today, said the step was taken to prevent the spread of the virus to other workers.
“Currently, the seven estate workers are being treated at Hospital Tawau, while another five employees are under quarantine at the estate,” he said.
Hattah also confirmed that two employees, including the imam of the mosque on the estate, attended the Feb 27 to March 1 ‘tabligh’ gathering at the Sri Petaling mosque in Kuala Lumpur. However, both individuals and their family members had undergone health screening at the hospital.
Hattah thanked the personnel at the Kalabakan District Office and Hospital Tawau for their assistance in handling the Covid-19 situation on the estate. – Bernama

Covid-19 test: No charges for foreigners at public clinics, hospitals
PUTRAJAYA: Foreigners who appear for Covid-19 tests at clinics and public hospitals will not be charged, according to Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.
He said the decision was in line with the circular issued by the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) on Jan 29.
“If the foreigners come to the MOH clinic or hospital for non-Covid-19 diseases, they will be charged the set fee.
“(However) for Covid-19 related illnesses, as per the circular dated Jan 29, fees will not be charged, regardless of whether one is poor or rich,“ he said during a press conference on Covid-19, here today.
The government had previously urged foreigners in the country to come forward and conduct Covid-19 screening tests to determine their health status following the rise in the number of positive cases reported.
Meanwhile, Dr Noor Hisham said all the participants of the tabligh programme which took place at the Sri Petaling Mosque recently have been urged to undergo Covid-19 tests even though they showed no symptoms.
He said this was due to the spike in the number of positive cases reported from the cluster.
“If according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), only those with symptoms should be tested, but that was in the past. We have now agreed that even those members who show no symptoms will undergo Covid-19 tests,“ he said.
He was commenting on allegations that there were members of the tabligh group who had been to health facilities several times but had not been tested for Covid-19.
Dr Noor Hisham said of the 6,700 participants who had undergone the test, 940 were found positive for Covid-19, which accounts for about 62% of the 1,518 positive cases in the country so far.
On whether the MOH would propose to the government to extend the Movement Control Order period which is set to expire on March 31, or impose a ‘total lockdown’ following the rise in the number of deaths due to the disease, he said the ministry’s main focus currently was to enhance capacity and expertise, especially in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
He said if the death rate were to be taken as a yardstick, the current rate used worldwide was 4.5% of the total number of cases, and in Malaysia, there were 1,518 cases so far.
This could mean there was a possibility of about 60 cases resulting in death, however, he said the current death toll in Malaysia stood at only 14.
The MCO was implemented by the government from March 18 to 31 to curb the spread of Covid-19. – Bernama

Seri Petaling Mosque, Titiwangsa classified as Covid-19 red zones: Annuar Musa
KUALA LUMPUR: The surrounding area of the Seri Petaling Mosque and Titiwangsa parliamentary constituency have been classified as Covid-19 red zones.
Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa (pix) said the two areas, particularly the mosque, would be under intensive monitoring during the enforcement of the Movement Control Order (MCO).
“The Ministry of Health has defined an area which recorded more than 40 cases (of Covid-19) as a red zone,” he said in a live-streaming video via Facebook today.
Annuar said as of 2pm today, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya had recorded a total of 212 Covid-19 cases, while Labuan reported five cases, bringing the tally for Federal Territories to 217 cases.
As of Sunday, Lembah Pantai recorded the highest number of Covid-19 cases in Kuala Lumpur at 90, while Titiwangsa reported 41 cases.
Annuar said Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) would use drone technology to monitor stalls at public markets to ensure they are complying with the regulations.
He said DBKL had seized 36 stalls at Selayang Market yesterday for failing to observe the MCO.
Annuar also said that the authorities had to “escort” two tabligh convention participants to undergo health checks yesterday.
The two individuals were picked up at the People’s Housing Project (PPR) Jelatek and Precinct 5, Putrajaya respectively.
The Seri Petaling Mosque which hosted the tabligh convention from Feb 28 to March 1 is now the source of the single largest cluster of Covid-19 infections in the country. – Bernama
