    Seremban: A Rela personnel who went hunting for red jungle fowl ('ayam hutan') at an oil palm plantation in Pasir Panjang, Port Dickson yesterday, was found shot dead.

    Midon Idris, 44, who had a gunshot wound in the head, was believed to have accidently shot himself when his motorcycle skidded at Batu 22 Ladang Sengkang.
