MELAKA (Bernama): Two fishermen who lost their way as a result of hazy conditions at sea were rescued by a group of Indonesian fishermen in Indonesian waters early Wednesday (Sept 18) morning.

The duo, Putih Dagang, 62, and his son Mohd Shahrul Nizam, 33, not only lost their bearings because the area was blanketed by haze, but had also run out of petrol to get back to Pantai Puteri at about midnight Tuesday .

However, after being at sea for over an hour and with the boat lights flashing to indicate that they had run out of petrol, they realised they were lost, said Putih. He said the Indonesian fishermen had been helpful and had taken them to Pulau Rupat, Riau, in Indonesia so that they could buy petrol to continue the journey back to Pantai Puteri.

Meanwhile, Malaysia Maritime Enforcement Agency Negri Sembilan and Malacca director Maritime Capt Amran Daud, said the search-and-rescue operation was activated at about 7.30am after receiving information from the fishermen’s family.
