Kept alive by Kacip Fatimah

KOTA BARU: Kacip Fatimah shoots and water from the stream kept lost surveyor Mohamad Nordin Omar, 44, alive for 22 days in the Gua Musang jungle.  

In his first interview with the media to relate his ordeal in the dense forest, Nordin said he began eating shoots of Kacip Fatimah, a type of wild fern widely used as an aphrodisiac, from the third day that he was lost.
