Police are using a new strategy to locate the Irish girl, who went missing in Seremban on Sunday.

They will use her mother's voice recordings, in hopes that this strategy will lure her out of the forest surrounding the resort.

The Fire and Rescue Department is confident that the 15-year-old girl is still in the forest area as sniffer dogs have picked up traces of her in the current search area.

Also, a helicopter squad from PDRM will join the operation shortly, to get an aerial view of the search area.

It will use a thermal imaging technology that can detect objects and humans from a height of 1,500 feet.

The girl's info has been put on the Nur Alert system.

The introduction of khat calligraphy in the BM syllabus for Year 4 pupils in SJKC and SJKT will go ahead as planned.

The Education Ministry says it will take up 3 pages in the BM textbook instead of 6 as earlier reported.

It also stressed that there will be no test or assessment on khat calligraphy and it will be up to the teachers' creativity to decide on how to teach the topic.

The Ministry also urged all parties not to spread incorrect info on the matter that could confuse people.
