Boat carrying 300 tourists to Myanmar sinks off Malaysian coast, hundreds missing

A boat carrying about 300 migrants from Myanmar capsized in the Indian Ocean near the border of Thailand and Malaysia, causing widespread panic. Only 10 people were rescued, according to reports. Rescue teams found the body of one person floating in the sea. Hundreds of others are missing.

Rescue teams were unable to immediately obtain information after the boat capsized. Hundreds of people are missing. Officials said on Sunday that the exact time and location of the boat capsizing were not immediately known, suggesting that most of the people missing were still missing. A Malaysian official said the ship likely capsized in Thai waters. He warned that cross-border gangs were becoming increasingly active in exploiting migrants by using dangerous sea routes.

Among the rescued were Rohingya Muslims,
a police chief said, adding that some of the rescued were Rohingya Muslims who mainly live in Myanmar, where they have faced decades of persecution. First Admiral Romli Mustafa of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency said initial investigations indicated that the boat had set off from Buthidaung town in Myanmar’s Rakhine state and sank three days ago. The agency launched a search and rescue operation on Saturday after several survivors were found in waters off the northern resort island of Langkawi in Malaysia. He said the body of a Myanmar woman was found floating in the sea. He said at least 10 people had been rescued from the scene, including a Bangladeshi and several Myanmar nationals.
