SRI AMAN: The bodies of two Indonesians who went missing last week while fishing at the Batang Ai Hydroelectric Dam water reservoir in southern Sarawak have been found.

The duo, workers at a nearby agricultural plantation, had gone fishing in a boat last Friday (Oct 20) but did not make it back to shore.

Fire and Rescue Department personnel here found the bodies after an extensive search and handed them over to the police.
