PASIR PUTEH, March 26 — The Kelantan Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency has seized four boats and arrested 31 Vietnamese fishermen for illegally fishing in Malaysian waters.

“During the first operation, two boats were detained at 3.45pm and 4pm, respectively, about 64 nautical miles off the Tok Bali estuary. Syed Nor Adli said on Wednesday, MMEA’s patrol ship KM Jujur intercepted two more Vietnamese fishing boats as a result of information channelled by a Royal Malaysian Air Force maritime patrol aircraft team.

“We also seized fishing equipment, 1,000 kg of fish and 9,200 litres of diesel found on the boats. The total value of the seized items is estimated to be around RM4.2 million,” he said.
