The floods in Kelantan claimed the life of its first victim, Nik Zulkifli Nik Kob, 25, who drowned after falling into the swollen Sungai Sokor in Tanah Merah.
His body was found by a search party, comprising the police, People's Volunteer Corps and villagers, at 10.50am Sunday about 10 metres from where he was believed to have fallen into the river on Saturday, state police chief Datuk Abdul Rahim Hanafi told reporters.
Nik Zulkifli fell into Sungai Sokor and was swept by the current while fishing in the river on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Tanah Merah Fire and Rescue acting officer-in-charge Che Kadir Che Ya said efforts were being made to bring Nik Zulkifli's body to the Tanah Merah Hospital as the only road link to Kampung Sokor had been cut off when a bridge along the route collapsed. The death toll in last year's flood in Kelantan was 15.

November, 1975)
