Illegals using aircraft navigation lights to enter Langkawi waters, says marine police force

Sunday, 28 Jun 2020 01:15 PM MYT

LANGKAWI, June 28 — Hundreds of Rohingya refugees who entered the country’s waters in June are believed to use the aircraft navigation lights on Gunung Mat Cincang hereLangkawi Region One Marine Police Force commanding officer DSP Rohizan Mohamad Said said the navigation lights helped illegal immigrants find land when they entered the country’s waters at night as the situation at sea is very dark at the time.

“The navigation lights at the top of the mountain is very important because it shows pilots that the area is mountainous, besides having cable cars, thus avoiding any untoward incidents,” he told Bernama in an exclusive media coverage with the National Task Force. Commenting on the discovery of the illegal immigrants, Rohizan said this was the second time they had landed in the same bay as the area was near to the navigation lights.
