SHAH ALAM: The Fire and Rescue Department is having difficulties in conducting search and rescue (SAR) operations for five victims missing in the floods in Pahang because of challenging conditions due to the receding flood water, said its director-general Datuk Seri Mohammad Hamdan Wahid.

"In the current situation, it is quite challenging. When the floodwaters recede, there are logs, garbage, sludge, bushes, including building materials and so on which hamper the search,” he said at the Ops Banjir press conference in Taman Sri Muda on Saturday (Dec 25).
