The Royal Thai Embassy said the Fire and Rescue Department in Sabah State had found 191 people stranded on the mountain after the 6-magnitude quake hit on Friday, but 23 were still unaccounted for, Sek said.
The latest update yesterday confirmed that four Thais – one with a leg injury – were rescued, he said adding that the embassy would contact Malaysian authorities to help the Thais return home later.
