MELAKA: Two children were among 18 irregular migrants caught trying to cross the Strait of Malacca in a rickety speedboat before being intercepted by the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA).
Melaka and Negri Sembilan MMEA director Maritime Capt Salehuddin Zakaria said the overcrowded boat, with no safety features, was stopped about 11 nautical miles off Tanjung Kling at 9.25pm on Wednesday.
