00:07entered its second day on Tuesday, with rescuers expanding the search area to more than eight

00:32towards Sri Muda and Sungai Kandis. The operation is being conducted using three boats and a surface

00:46a surface search from the second checkpoint along the route towards Puchong. Ashrul Rizal said the
00:52operation faced several challenges, including strong currents and the possibility of rain
00:58upstream, which could cause water levels and turbulence to increase. He said several sections
01:04of the river also had natural rapids that boats could not navigate, requiring the vessels to be
01:09transported by trailer before the search could resume. The operation involves nine personnel
01:15from the Subang Jaya Fire and Rescue Station, assisted by water rescue teams from the Shah Alam
01:21and Port Klang stations. The boy was reported missing after falling into the river at about 6.30pm
