The body of Nur Farah Kartini Abdullah, a 25-year-old Sarawakian who had been missing since Wednesday, 10 July, was discovered at an oil palm plantation in Hulu Selangor at around 6pm yesterday, 15 July

Farah, employed part-time at a car rental company, was last seen delivering a rental car to a customer in Tanjong Malim at around 8am on the day of her disappearance.
