SANTUBONG, Oct 9 — Sarawak Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency director Zin Aman Mh Yunus today said that the search and rescue operation to locate four anglers and a skipper whose boat is believed to have capsized in the waters near Karang Berumput and Tukun Bass, off Santubong, on October 1 have been called off.
“The earlier clue was the finding of an orange lifebuoy in an area of about 34 nautical miles from the mouth of Santubong river and it was confirmed by the boat owner,” he told reporters after meeting with family members of the anglers and the boat skipper. He said the SAR teams have covered an area of 3144 square nautical miles, involving various personnel and assets from MMEA, Civil Defence Department, Sarawak Coast Guard and the Marine police.
However, he said the agencies involved will do their own separate operations for the missing anglers and the boat skipper.
