"This will be the official figure unless there are more parties coming forward to claim that they still have missing family members,” he told a press conference here today.

He said this latest development meant that 30 people were confirmed killed in the landslide, 61 survived and one is still missing.

Arjunaidi said the original figure of 94 victims was based on data of those registered at the farm campsite centre. — Bernama
