KOTA TINGGI: A watchman was on a video call with his wife when he was suddenly grabbed from behind by a gang of men trying to steal underwater cables from an oil rig near Tanjung Langsat Port (TLP) in Pasir Gudang.
The quick-thinking wife who watched the phone screen go black called for help, which led to the arrest of four men.
After verifying the information, MMEA dispatched a patrol team that had been carrying out an operation nearby. “All the suspects are local men from Tanjung Langsat. When our patrol team reached the scene, they pretended to be working at the oil rig and ignored our call to identify themselves.
“The total loss could not be estimated. We are currently waiting for reports from the oil rig owner on the damage that the suspects have caused.
