MELAKA (Bernama): Two fishermen who lost their way as a result of hazy conditions at sea were rescued by a group of Indonesian fishermen in Indonesian waters early Wednesday (Sept 18) morning.

The duo, Putih Dagang, 62, and his son Mohd Shahrul Nizam, 33, not only lost their bearings because the area was blanketed by haze, but had also run out of petrol to get back to Pantai Puteri at about midnight Tuesday (Sept 17).
