The catamaran with 30 people on board

KOTA KINABALU: The number of Chinese tourists on the catamaran that sank while on its journey to Pulau Mengalum Saturday was 27 and not 28 as reported earlier, said Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Ramli Din.  

“One of the tourists who had registered and was supposed to be on the trip to the island cancelled his plans after seeing that the boat was full,” he said.
