KUALA TERENGGANU (Bernama): A total of 16 Vietnamese fishermen jumped into the sea and swam to the Bargading oil platform on Friday (Oct 4) to avoid being detained by the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) during Ops Iman and Ops Naga Barat.

Kemaman Maritime Zone director Maritime Commander Rashidilhadi Abd Rashid said however that all of the fishermen were arrested around 9.57 am on Friday with the help of the oil platform workers.

"During the patrol, MMEA detected a foreign fishing boat at 108 nautical miles off the Kuala Terengganu estuary. "Upon realising our presence, the vessel tried to flee and headed towards the Bargading oil platform before the fishermen jumped into the sea and swam some 50 meters to the platform," he told reporters at a press conference at Terengganu State Maritime Headquarters here on Saturday .Besides the vessel, the MMEA also confiscated fish, diesel fuel and fishing equipment all estimated to be worth RM1mil.

He said that the fishermen were brought to the Kuala Terengganu Maritime Headquarters for investigation under Section 15 of the Fisheries Act 1985 for fishing without the permission of the Fisheries director-general as well as the Immigration Act for entering Malaysia without proper documentation.- Bernama
