PASIR PUTEH, Nov 6 (Bernama) -- Mohd Mazlan Yajid, 28, has become the first flood victim in Kelantan after he was reported missing at Sungai Banggol Kerian here Friday.
His brother Mohd Anuar, 21, said Mohd Mazlan jumped into the river for a swim at 6.30pm and was swept away by strong currents.
"Several villagers staying about 500 metres from the river saw the whole incident," he told reporters here today.
Pasir Puteh Fire and Rescue officer Kaharuddin Yahya said the search which began at 7pm was stopped two hours laters due to darkness and strong currents.
He said the search operation will continue tomorrow.
