Anggota APMM maut, 2 warga Thailand didakwa esok
Bot APMM disyaki dihimpit sehingga mengakibatkan pelanggaran struktur konkrit membawa kematian seorang anggota.
In a tragic maritime incident that occurred on October 26, an Indonesian member of Malaysia's Maritime Enforcement Agency (APMM), Mohd Roshaimi Mohd Ridzuan, lost his life while performing a rescue operation. Two Thai nationals are expected to be charged in Kangar Court the following day in connection with the bot infringement that led to Roshaimi's death.
The Assistant Director of Maritime Operations in Kedah and Perlis, Mohamad Shukri Khotob, informed Bernama that the two Thai suspects are accused under Section 302 of the Criminal Force Act and Section 26J of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Migrant Smuggling Act 2007. The incident took place at 11:37 PM on October 26 when a five-member APMM team was attempting to detain an unauthorized boat near Kuala Sungai Padang in Perlis.
The APMM-crewed boat was allegedly rammed by the suspect boat, causing the vessel to collide with a nearby concrete structure near the Malaysia Fisheries Development Institute (LKIM) jetty, resulting in three APMM members, including Roshaimi, being thrown into the sea.
