ALOR GAJAH: Tai Seng Fui could only say 'thank you' repeatedly when four members of his family were found by the search and rescue team (SAR).

The 63-year-old said he was still coming to terms with accepting the reality of losing his 35-year-old son Tai Chang Lin, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren in the blink of an eye after they were swept away in a tragic landslide at the Father's Organic Farm campsite on Dec 16.
