KLUANG, Nov 30 (Bernama) -- The hope of a police constable to get engaged next Hari Raya will go unfulfilled after he was found drowned having been swept away by swift currents in Kampung Giching, Sepang on Friday night.

“Before he was swept away, he managed to ask residents whether the road could be accessible but he still went ahead even though he was advised not to do so.
“While fording the waters, his car was said to have been swept into a canal, forcing him to abandon the vehicle and swim to the side before he was swept away by swift currents,” he said when met at the Taman Purnama Muslim Cemetery in Simpang Renggam tonight.
Prayers for Muhammad Rahimi were held at Surau Ar Raudah, Simpang Renggam Prison before being taken to the Taman Purnama Cemetery for burial at 10 pm.
Amirudin also conveyed his appreciation to all members of the search and rescue team who worked so hard to locate his son.
Muhammad Rahimi was found at 7.30 am today about 50 metres from where he was reported missing.
