The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency also said it had found no leads or bodies despite a 72-hour search. “Land searches are still ongoing, and we will continue the operations at sea if there are any leads,” Mohamad said in a press conference at the ministry today.On July 22, the ministry said David and Moses, who are attached to the Fourth Battalion Royal Ranger Regiment at Bukit Cowder Camp in Perlis, had gone missing after a late-night roll call.
