KUALA TERENGGANU: The body of a man who was wearing a white quarantine bracelet has been found floating in the Terengganu river near Kampung Banggol Cempedak here today.
Fire and Rescue station chief Rozizah Abni Hajar said six members of the dive unit were dispatched to the scene after they received a call from the police at 2.37pm today.
“They found the body of a man floating about 50 metres from the river bank. The body had become bloated and is believed to have been in the water for two days.
“As the body had a white bracelet, it was risky for the team carrying out their assignment. That is why our team wore personal protection equipment (PPE) from the start till the end of the operation,” she said when met by reporters at the scene here today.
