Anggota APMM maut, 2 warga Thailand didakwa esok

Mohd Roshaimi Mohd Ridzuan, a 41-year-old member of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (APMM), tragically died in an incident on October 26th. Two Thai nationals are set to be charged in Kangar Court the following day in connection with the incident, as per Mohamad Shukri Khotob, the Deputy Chairman of the Maritime Enforcement Operations for Kedah and Perlis.

The two accused men are believed to be operating the boat and will be charged under Section 302 of the Criminal Force Act and Section 26J of the Anti-people Smuggling and Anti-trafficking Act 2007.

On October 27th, media reported that Mohd Roshaimi died while three other APMM members sustained injuries during the boat interception operation in the waters of Kuala Sungai Padang, Kuala Perlis. Romli Mustafa, the Maritime Operations Officer for Kedah and Perlis, was contacted, stating that the incident occurred when a boat suspected to carry unauthorized immigrants was intercepted by the APMM team.

The boat allegedly tried to ram the APMM vessel, causing it to collide with a concrete structure near the Lembaga Kemajuan Ikan Malaysia (LKIM) Kuala Sungai Padang. As a result, three APMM members, including Roshaimi, were thrown into the sea.
