FOR 16 years, Rapi Bata (pic) quietly carried out his duties as a constable with the tracker unit of the Senoi Praaq. Last month, he made front-page news for being one of four people who had found the four lost boys in the jungles of Fraser’s Hill. 

Rapi, 41, says he was always fairly adept in finding his way in a jungle but he credits his Senoi Praaq training for his success in finding the lost boys.
