The death toll from a landslide at a Malaysian campsite rose to 21, including five children, authorities said.
A dozen people were still missing after a predawn landslide hit a campsite at an organic farm on Friday near the town of Batang Kali just outside the capital Kuala Lumpur.
The landslide took place around 03:00 on Friday (19:00 GMT Thursday) just outside the hilly Genting Highlands, north of the capital Kuala Lumpur.
Authorities are scrambling to rescue people who may be buried in the mud.
More than 90 people had been camped at a farm site on the side of a road.
Malaysia`s National Disaster Management Agency said it had rescued 53 people so far. But dozens more remain missing.
It`s unclear what triggered the landslide - local media said there had been no heavy rains or earthquakes in the lead up to it.
