The remains of an Orang Asli woman who was killed in a river surge on Tuesday have been found today.

Authorities have been searching for her remains for five days, through a swath of mud, fallen logs, and wood debris that was also swept up in the flash flood.

The victim, Mariam Bertampa, 62, lived at Kampung Orang Asli Sungai Ubi near Bharat Tea in Cameron Highlands.

The Pahang Fire and Rescue Department said in a statement that she was believed to have attempted to cross the Ubi river when she was swept away.

The Cameron Highlands Civil Defence Force said three other women from the same family had been caught in the river surge but survived.

Mariam’s remains were found around 12pm today, some 500 meters from where she reportedly fell.

Her body has been handed over to the police for further action.
