After nine hours, search teams safely find three lost Gunung Pulai hikers

Johor Forestry Dept chief says they did not have permit to enter forest reserved without ranger or guide, plus trek was closed since Nov 20

JOHOR BAHRU – Three local hikers, who are believed to have trespassed into the Gunung Pulai permanent forest reserve and lost their way for nine hours, were found safe in Kulai yesterday. 

Johor Forestry Department director Datuk Salim Aman said the three men, in their 20s and 30s, were believed to have trespassed into the Gunung Pulai Forest Reserve through the Bandar Baru Kangkar Pulai Public Park at about 9am and continued their climb towards Sg Emas (Gunung Pulai Forest Reserve) to head to Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai, but failed to find their way out. 

“The Kangkar Pulai police station received a report at about 4pm from the victims via a phone call, stating that they were lost,” he said in a statement today. 

It was also understood that this was the first time the victims had entered the area. 

He said the hikers were found in the Gunung Pulai Forest Reserve at midnight after a four-team search-and-rescue operation was activated around 4pm, involving members of the Johor Forestry Department, Kangkar Pulai police station, Kangkar Pulai Fire and Rescue Department, and mountain forest guides. 

Salim said the hikers did not possess a permit to enter the forest reserve without a ranger or a mountain guide and action would be taken under Section 47 of the Johor National Forestry Enactment (Adoption) 1995. 

He explained that the Forestry Department had announced the closure of the Gunung Pulai trek starting November 20 and advised the public to comply with the prohibition for their safety. – December 19, 2023
