SEREMBAN: A three-month-old infant and two children aged four years, who were among 16 people reported missing while descending Gunung Berembun next to Kampung Pantai near here, successfully came down by themselves early today.
Seremban Fire and Rescue Station operations commander, Asst Supt Mohamad Idris said the victims reached the foothill around 2.05am.
He said the victims with 50 others started ascending Gunung Telapak Buruk located next to Gunung Berembun at 11am yesterday.
