TAPAH, June 7 (Bernama) -- Female hiker Jaslinda Saludin, 49, who was found safe yesterday after being missing for 14 days at Gunung Batu Putih, remains in stable condition but requires further treatment and monitoring at Tapah Hospital.
Perak Health Director Datuk Dr Feisul Idzwan Mustapha said Jaslinda underwent a computed tomography (CT) scan at Teluk Intan Hospital early this morning as part of efforts to assess her condition.
“Initial examinations found that the victim did not suffer any serious injuries. However, she still requires close monitoring and several additional examinations to ensure her recovery progresses well,” he told Bernama when contacted today.
He said the duration of her hospital stay would depend on her recovery progress and the outcome of further medical assessments.
Jaslinda was found in a weak condition near Kampung Lubuk Gaharu, Pos Musoh, at about 5 pm yesterday by a resident of the village.
She was reported missing while taking part in the Trans Spencer Chapman hiking expedition on May 23 along the Pos Gedung-Gunung Bah Gading-Gunung Batu Putih-Kuala Woh route with 13 other participants and two Forestry Mountain Guides.
