How far would you go to snap the perfect selfie? Whatever your answer is, it probably won’t compare to what these five Universiti Malaysian Kelantan (UMK) undergrads did.
These UMK students, who were on a hiking excursion with 20 of their varsity mates in Bukit Keluang, near Kuala Besut, Terengganu, fell into a ravine after posing for a group selfie (wefie? groupie? We dunno), and had to be rescued by local emergency personnel.
Besut Fire and Rescue Department chief Mohd Zailani Abdullah told The Star Online that his officers received a distress call from a member of the public at 1.15pm yesterday afternoon, alerting them of the mishap.
The five students, two men and three women all aged 20, fell about 24 metres down the ravine, requiring emergency extraction by firefighters.
As of yesterday evening, two of the students were successfully lifted out of the ravine, while the extraction of the remaining three was hampered by the steep slopes in the area.
The next time you stop to snap a selfie, make sure you’re nowhere near a ravine, crevasse, chasm, or bottomless pit. Instagram doesn’t need your face all up in it that badly!
