KANGAR: A 25-year-old engineer drowned this afternoon in the Timah Tasoh Freshwater Lake near Beseri, Padang Besar, after he reportedly failed to climb back onto a boat while in deep water following a fishing trip with a friend.
Padang Besar deputy police chief Supt Sarih Salleh said the victim, Muhammad Zamhareer Zulkifli, was found by firefighters during a search and rescue operation at 2.45pm, about five metres from where he was believed to have fallen into the lake.
