IPOH: The sudden surge of water and soil from a stream that swept away two hikers at Gunung Suku in Simpang Pulai on Sunday (May 15) is believed to be the result of heavy rainfall.
Perak Forestry Department director Datuk Mohamed Zin Yusop said it had rained heavily prior to the pre-dawn incident.
"We will also temporarily stop issuing any permits to enter the forest reserve due to the dangerous situation," he added.
