Eleven people have died and eight others are missing after an earthquake near Malaysia’s highest peak, a minister for tourism has said.<\/p>\n
The bodies were recovered from Mount Kinabalu, on the island of Borneo, after a 6.0 magnitude quake triggered landslides.<\/p>\n
Some 137 climbers were stranded on the mountain for several hours but have now made it to safety.<\/p>\n
Local media say a Singaporean girl and a local guide are among the dead.<\/p>\n
Sabah tourism minister Masidi Manjun tweeted: “The 137 climbers have safely arrived at the Park HQ, the last batch at 2.50 am.”<\/p>\n
He later confirmed that 11 bodies had been found and rescue teams were searching for eight people still unaccounted for.<\/p>\n
