KOTA KINABALU: Nine local anglers were rescued at sea by a tourist boat after their catamaran stalled some 11 nautical miles from Pulau Sulug in waters off the city here.

The five crewmen who remained on the catamaran – four men and a woman – were picked up 7.30pm Monday after they raised the alert that they had failed to fix the engine, the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) said Tuesday.
