Two officers from the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency in Terengganu were injured while warding off attacks from Vietnamese fishermen who were illegally fishing in Malaysian waters, approximately 125 nautical miles from Kuala Terengganu, at 6.45 pm yesterday.
He explained that the incident occurred because the group of fishermen on the boat acted aggressively when the officers attempted to apprehend them. The fishermen were believed to be intruding into the country’s waters to illegally catch fish under Operation NAGA BARAT. “As a result of the attack, two officers were injured while trying to defend themselves. Another officer fell into the sea during the struggle but was successfully rescued by the KM RAWA crew,” he said in a statement today.
