How long were the man and two children missing during their forest outing?

Question

Accepted Answer

The man and two children were missing for approximately nine hours.

A man and two children were found safe early this morning after going missing for about nine hours during forest activities near a waterfall at Pondok Munazil Siddiqin along Jalan Panchor Terap. The emergency call regarding their disappearance was received by the Dungun Fire and Rescue Station at 10:47 pm yesterday. The trio was eventually located by members of the public at 2:20 am and subsequently reunited with their families.
Circumstances of Disappearance

The individuals involved were identified as Izham Haziq Mohd Ridhuan, 23, and two 10-year-old boys, Muhammad Harraz Naufal Zamri and Ahmad Al Baihaqi Ahmad Nazri. They had initially gone to the waterfall with friends for a swim. At approximately 5 pm, it was understood that the victims intended to hike further up the hill, following a stream trail to reach the upper section of the waterfall for another swim. Their failure to return by nightfall, with one of their motorcycles still present at the scene, prompted the emergency report.
Search and Rescue Operation

Upon receiving the report, a search-and-rescue (SAR) operation was immediately initiated. The operation involved a coordinated effort comprising seven firefighters from the Dungun and Paka fire and rescue stations, three police personnel, and assistance from 30 members of the public. Due to safety concerns, the SAR operation was temporarily suspended at 1 am.
Discovery and Reunion

The victims were ultimately found by members of the public who continued searching the area. The discovery occurred at 2:20 am, approximately nine hours after the initial report of their disappearance. All three were confirmed to be safe and were subsequently reunited with their families.
