Search intensifies for missing four including Spanish couple off northern Sabah

Searchers were also looking around the popular fishing waters in southwestern Pulau Mengalum off west coast Sabah in hopes to locate the four people including a Spanish couple who has been missing at sea since Monday.

KOTA KINABALU: The sea off Kudat is now the focus of a search and rescue operation for four people including a Spanish couple who went missing in Sabah’s northern waters off Pulau Balambangan a week ago.

This follows growing concerns of the chances of survival of the group who went missing in a small motorised boat while on a two-hour ride back from the island to Simpang Mengaya or more popularly known as the Tip of Borneo last Monday.
