The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) will investigate a fatal boat collision that occurred off the coast of Perlis, resulting in the death of one of its personnel. Deputy Director-General (Operations) Maritime Vice-Admiral Mohd Zawawi Abdullah stated that the investigation would examine the agency's standard operating procedures (SOPs) and other areas for potential improvements.
The incident occurred on Monday evening when a boat pursuing a suspected boat carrying undocumented migrants struck a concrete structure, resulting in the death of Senior Maritime Petty Officer (Technical) Mohd Roshaimi Mohd Ridzuan, 41, and injuries to three other MMEA personnel. The investigation will also assess the need for changes in personnel training and equipment used during operations.
MMEA assured that the welfare of the deceased's family would be taken care of in accordance with existing procedures, as reported by Bernama.
