1 dead, 2 missing, 19 safe after falling into Sg Kampar, Perak

One girl is dead, two pupils are still missing and nineteen have been found safe after 22 students fell into Sungai Kampar at Perak.

The pupils, on a camping trip, tumbled into the river when the suspension bridge they were crossing broke near Kuala Dipang, Kampar, at about 10pm on Monday.


The dead girl was identified as Dina Deve Nathan, 11, from SK Tamil Mambang Diawan. Rescuers found her at Kampung Pasir, about 2km downstream from the broken bridge, at about 8.40am Tuesday. Her body was sent to the Kampar Hospital.

The pupils were among 298 from 60 primary schools from Kampar, Tronoh and Batu Gajah who were attending a 1Malaysia Camp co-curriculum activity organised by the Kinta Selatan District Education Department there.

Our school's students also will attend the 1Malaysia Camp at Kabong, Saratok from 28 Oct - 31 Oct 2009 (Wed - Sat). The safety should always be the important part during outdoor activities or programme, both teacher n student themselves must take care each others and be careful all the time.
