Juliana joined the search and rescue team (SAR) at a resort in Bentong where the remains of a 6-year-old boy Emmanuel Chang was found after he got swept away by floodwaters with his family on Saturday.
She also showed the location where rescuers found another woman’s body.
While she was still reporting, rescuers found a kid’s backpack that was filled with toys. Inside the backpack were a variety of small toys, a teddy bear, a bottle of hand sanitiser, a face mask and snacks.
It’s not confirmed whether the backpack belonged to Emmanuel but it was enough to make many viewers tear up too.
Even Juliana tweeted to say it broke her heart behind the scenes. She also apologised for making viewers sad.
Saya tidak kuat. Tidak seperti yang anda tonton di kaca TV.

Untuk pengetahuan semua, mayat budak 6 tahun itu, masih ada di hospital kerana belum dituntut waris. Jadi ujian DNA sedang dilakukan.
Saya minta maaf pada semua penonton kerana telah buat anda bersedih.@BuletinTV3 pic.twitter.com/1CcOtBTQbt
