KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 31 — The Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) expelled a boat carrying 25 undocumented migrants from Indonesia out of the country’s waters, four nautical miles southeast of Pulau Angsa, early this morning.
In a statement, it said the junk boat was detected about 1am as a result of cooperation between RMN, Marine Police and the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, Sector 5.
