A MAN in his 50s faced a harrowing experience when he was stranded on a raft on Sungai Kelantan for a few days, before he was rescued by the Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM).
Sinar Harian reported that the man was spotted during a routine patrol near the APM Marine Unit Jetty, Tambatan Diraja at around 5pm on Tuesday.
“Five of us on a fibreglass boat approached the raft and upon questioning, we found that the man had been drifting for several days in Sungai Kelantan.
“He said he is from Tanah Merah and boarded a raft to go to his durian farm, but was carried away by the strong river current,” said APM officer Abdullah Md Zain.
He advised the public to be vigilant when carrying out activities on the river to prevent unwanted incidents from happening.
> Controversial actor Hafidz Roshdi, 31, says he is now more careful when choosing job offers, worrying that his presence would affect the production.
Kosmo! reported that he had been approached by several producers to act in their shows, but Hafidz rejected them due to his previous cases.
“I don’t want to be the cause of any more controversies and unwanted incidents,” he said.
However, he added that he still had a passion for acting.
Hafidz was recently acquitted of a domestic violence charge involving his ex-wife.
