KOTA KINABALU: Investigators are piecing together what actually happened to the four missing people who were found safe on a Vietnamese fishing trawler amid one of the largest sea search and rescue operations in Sabah.

Differing accounts of their 11-day ordeal are emerging with some claiming that they were drifting in open South China Sea for nine days while others claim it was only three days before they were rescued by the Vietnamese fishermen encroaching on Malaysian waters.
