SABAH: Malaysian authorities have found five more dead bodies from Mount Kinabalu on Sunday (Jun 7) as the search the rescue operations following Friday's earthquake in Sabah continued into a third day. This brings the total number of bodies found so far to 18.
At a news conference on Sunday afternoon, Sabah's Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Masidi Manjun said three of the bodies have been brought down by helicopters. Two other bodies are still on the mountain. In addition, Mr Masidi said two more bodies cannot be physically identified. He said if they cannot be identified, the bodies will be considered missing.
Mr Masidi said rescuers have collected four bags of body parts which have been sent to Kota Kinabalu. In addition, there are three more bags of body parts still up in the mountain.
Mr Masidi said search and rescue operations will wind down, but rescuers will still be going up to the mountain to conduct "mopping up" operations, just in case they find any more body parts.
