Quick thinking saves anglers from being swept out to sea after boat capsizes


KOTA KINABALU: Wearing life jackets and smartly clinging to rocks by the shore in waters off Mengalum Island here saved four anglers from drifting further out to sea after their boat capsized.

The four – Azmain bin Nulhassan, 23, Al Asim Nasir, 23, Mohammad Fikhri Amri, 22 and Muhammad Aqil Abu Bakar, 22 – were fishing off the island when choppy waters pushed their boat close to some large rocks on Thursday (Dec 15) morning.
