Malaysia landslide: At least 21 campers dead and more missing

Malaysian search and rescue teams are scouring a holiday campsite in the Selangor state for survivors after a landslide killed at least 21 people.

Families were sleeping in their tents when the landslide happened yesterday at a farm stay in Batang Kali township.

Some 400 rescue workers spent Friday digging through mud to find 12 missing people, local media reported.

Among the victims are five children and 12 women, officials announced.

Fire Chief Norazam Khamis says two of the bodies were found "hugging each other" and are believed to be mother and daughter.
