Elderly couple trapped for 25 hours


IPOH: An elderly couple who were stuck in a lift at the Mydin Meru Shopping Mall here for over 24 hours are so traumatised that they aren’t speaking to anyone – not even to the police.

Md Dahalan Baki, 74, and his wife, Ahadiyah Zakaria, 70, got stuck in the lift at 11.30am on Friday but were only rescued at 1pm on Saturday.
