00:10Kuala Lumpur Civil Defence Force APM Officer Major Ahmad Junaidi Dukud Surharto confirmed
00:16that two teams were deployed after receiving a public report at 10.19pm on Saturday.
00:22The effort to trap the reptile began at 11pm with the assistance of the police and the
00:26Department of Wildlife Protection, Per Hillerton.
00:30However, the crocodile was no longer visible.
00:34Authorities said that capturing the crocodile could take time due to strong river currents

00:47immediately.
