MIRI: An angler who was cast adrift by bad weather off Pantai Lutong was found safe several hours later this morning.
The man who is in his 30s was found drifting in the sea by a search and rescue team from the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) at about 11.45am.
It was reported that the victim and seven other anglers had gone out fishing on their kayak boats at Pantai Lutong as early as 6am.
However, bad weather caused the victim’s kayak to overturn and was swept away by strong currents.
The other seven anglers managed to return safely ashore by about 11am.
