Zone 6 Fire and Rescue department chief Awangku Mohd Hazmin Awang Zainal said Salim Idris was found by Indonesian oil palm estate workers about 10km from his house at 7.15am.
“He was sitting next to an excavator of the estate when the workers found him this morning,” he said, adding that the senior citizen comes from Kampung Tiris Masjid, Bekenu.
