KUALA LUMPUR: The search for Teo Kim Lean, reported missing after a Hash House run in Cheras, enters its fourth day with little sign of finding him.

The search team, mostly Hashers and hikers, and several policemen and firemen, were left clueless after combing an 8km track of the run at the edge of the forest reserve in Bukit Hartamas.

Two dogs from the Fire and Rescue Department were also roped in for the search.

Teo, 53, nicknamed Oily, and a member of the Klang Hash House Harriers and Harriettes, did not show up after the run at about 6pm on Tuesday. He was said to have gone hiking on his own.

Retired colonel, Hardial Singh, who is coordinating the search, said about 50 people joined the team on Friday.

Kajang police chief Asst Comm Willey Richard said there was still hope of finding Teo who could survive as there were streams in the forest where he could get water.

"The search will continue until we find Teo," he said at the scene.

He advised people not to go into the forest out on their own.
