SEREMBAN, Feb 18 — Six individuals faced a terrifying ordeal last night when a tree collapsed onto their vehicles near a restaurant on Jalan Seremban-Tampin.

A spokesperson for the Negeri Sembilan Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) Operations Center said that they received an emergency call regarding the incident at 8.48pm.
