Two Orang Asli survivors still in shock eight years on


PETALING JAYA: For two Orang Asli survivors, even the passage of time could not assuage the shock and trauma of being lost in a Kelantan jungle for more than a month and losing their friends and family in the ordeal that happened eight years ago.

Although Norieen Yaakob and Miksudiar Aluj are now 18 and 19 respectively – with Norieen having married and now an expectant mother – the tragedy has left an indelible mark in their lives.
