GEORGE TOWN: A 45-year-old man and his 13-year-old son who went missing after hiking up Bukit Jambul hill on Sunday evening were found safe and sound early this morning.
A fire and rescue department spokesman said they were spotted by department staff around 3am.
Both of them went up the hill about 6pm but could not find their way back to the foot of the hill due to darkness.
The spokesman said they received a distress call about 11.37pm and reached the site soon after, with voluntary rescue personnel assisting in the search efforts.
The duo, who were tired but did not suffer any injuries, were sent to Penang Hospital.
