PUTRAJAYA: Pirates hijacked yet another oil tanker and siphoned off its cargo of 3,500 metric tonnes of fuel oil, ironically while the Royal Malaysian Navy was conducting an exercise to counter acts of piracy in Malaysian waters.
Singapore-registered MT Joaquim went missing on Saturday night after being hijacked by pirates near Port Dickson, 380km away from Tanjung Ayam, Johor, where the navy’s special warfare force (Paskal) was testing a mock scenario of a hijacking.
