SHAH ALAM, Sept 15 (Bernama) -- Four of the seven anglers reported missing yesterday were found safe by a local fishing boat in the waters off Sekinchan, 25 nautical miles from the coast of Sungai Besar, at about 9.50 am today.

Four out of seven missing anglers have been found safe off Sekinchan, Malaysia, while the search for the remaining three continues. The Selangor Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) director, Abdul Muhaimin Muhammad Salleh, announced that the rescued men were found floating close to each other in weak condition and are currently receiving treatment at hospitals in Klang and Kuala Langat.

The search and rescue operation is ongoing, with expanded maritime and aerial search areas, involving MMEA, Royal Malaysia Police, Fire and Rescue Department, Civil Defence Force, and two local fishing boats. MMEA will continue to coordinate the search efforts with the involved agencies until all victims are located. The incident occurred after six anglers and a boat skipper could not be located in the waters off One Fathom Bank, near Pulau Ketam.
