Nisong receives first aid from Bomba Emergency Medical Response Services personnel.

KUCHING: A search and rescue (SAR) team succeeded in finding a man, who went missing on Wednesday, at a paddy field around 2km from his home yesterday.

A Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) statement said Nisong Sugas, 56, was located around 8am in a weak condition by the SAR team, which included villagers.

Nisong was later taken to the Serian Hospital for further observation. He had disappeared from his house at Kampung Chupak, Jalan Padawan while his family members were away.

As Nisong suffers from health problems, his family members sought Bomba’s help after failing to locate him between 5pm and 10pm in areas nearby.
