摘要

A 10-day coordinated operation by Malaysian and Indonesian enforcement agencies in the Straits of Malacca codenamed Ops Patkor Optima carried out last month had achieved its objectives. Ops Patkor Optima director, Commander Wan Burhanuddin Jusoh said the Malaysian enforcement agencies detained three of 108 vessels they inspected under the Fisheries Act 1985 and Immigration Act 1959. The Indonesian agencies, meanwhile, detained two of 455 vessels they checked under the Fisheries Act, he said in a statement. However, the statement did not state where the vessels were registered.
