  "summary": "The search and rescue (SAR) operation for missing anglers at One Fathom Bank near Pulau Ketam concluded on September 19, 2021, without any new leads or discoveries. The Selangor Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) conducted a six-day operation covering a radius of 3,887 square nautical miles, involving assets such as Maritime Ships (KM) Nusa and Tugau, a CL415MP aircraft, and an RH33 patrol boat from the Marine Police Force (PPM). Lieutenant Mohd Azlee Zainal, the operations officer, informed the families of the missing anglers that the operation was terminated, but MMEA assets would continue to perform routine patrols and monitoring in the waters. The SAR operation initially aimed to locate seven anglers reported missing on September 14, 2021. Four victims were found safe, while two, Muhammad Ridzuan Ruhaizat and Mohamad Shahril Abd Rahman, were discovered in the waters of Hutan Melintang on September 15 and 16, respectively.
