    Malaysia cracks down on social media hiking trend after jump in numbers needing rescue

    Malaysia is tightening hiking regulations following a surge in rescue operations due to a social media trend involving 'compressed hikes' on demanding routes. In the first five months of 2026, 52 hikers were reported lost, a 30% increase compared to the same period in 2025, according to the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department.
