Foreign ships entered S’wak waters

PETALING JAYA: The group of up to 100 foreign boats that encroached into Malaysian waters last week has been confirmed to have conducted fishing activities off Sarawak.

Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency director-general Maritime Admiral Datuk Ahmad Puzi Ab Kahar warned that foreign ships illegally fishing in the country’s waters could be sunk and turned into artificial reefs, or auctioned off along with their catch, if convicted under Malaysian law.
