In the shootout incident this morning, the MMEA personnel were on patrol as part of Ops Khas Pagar Laut in Kunak waters when their boat spotted a vessel being navigated suspiciously in the waters at 0.2 nautical mile northeast of Kampung Pangi, Kunak.

However, upon approaching the vessel, three suspects opened fire at the officers.

Earlier today, Sabah and Federal Territory of Labuan MMEA director Maritime first admiral Datuk Che Engku Suhaimi Che Engku Daik was reported as urging the public to refrain from making any speculations about the incident, and said the investigation of the case is still ongoing. – April 7, 2024
