Temenggor: The body of an unidentified man was discovered lying face down in a stream in the Air Rengat area, Temenggor, near Gerik this morning. Gerik police chief Supt Abdul Samad Othman reported that the discovery was made at approximately 9.10 am, following an alert from the Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) auxiliary police in Temenggor. This prompted a team from the district police headquarters (IPD) to be dispatched to the scene.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, initial investigations revealed that a 32-year-old Orang Asli man spotted the body at about 8.25 am while passing through the area. He subsequently reported the incident to the TNB auxiliary police at Pengkalan Trojan. The victim was found without any identification documents.

The body has been transported to the Gerik Hospital Forensic Unit for a post-mortem examination, and the case is being treated as a sudden death. Meanwhile, Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) has committed to fully cooperate with the authorities, clarifying that the body was found along the access route to the Temenggor Power Station, but outside the station's premises.

TNB expressed its condolences to the victim's family in a statement on its official Facebook page, assuring that the incident does not impact the station's operations, which continue as normal. The utility company stated that its auxiliary police promptly informed the Gerik district police headquarters (IPD), which has since arrived at the scene to conduct further investigations.

TNB urged anyone with information, or those who may be missing a family member, to contact the Gerik IPD at 05-791 2222.
