Man hoping grandchild will be found amid water surge tragedy


KUANTAN: Although 10 days have passed since the water surge tragedy in Jeram Air Putih, Terengganu, Eiyi Johan still hopes that the body of his 14-year-old granddaughter, Putri Nor Fatin Karim, will be found soon so that she can be given a proper burial.

Eiyi, 60, said the family has also agreed to take turns going to Kemaman, Terengganu, to get updates on the status of the search for the third child among seven siblings as some of the family members had to go back to work.
