WHILE most Muslims observe the fasting month in the comfort of their homes, 27 seamen on board the KM Kimanis patrol vessel observe Ramadan fasting at sea 24/7.
Even the sole non-Muslim seaman, LK1 S. Kaliswaran, 31, abstains from food on board the ship out of respect for his comrades in the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA).
