Malaysia Ends Indonesia Migrant Boat Search After Recovering All 16 Missing Bodies The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) called off its search for survivors from a migrant boat that sank off the country's western coast last week.
The recovery of all 16 missing bodies has brought an end to the six day rescue effort, which involved multiple agencies and local fisherfolk.
Twenty three people were rescued from the vessel, which was carrying mostly Indonesian migrants. However, it remains unclear whether all 16 deceased individuals were also from Indonesia.
