KUALA LUMPUR, (APP/AFP) – Malaysian authorities are searching
for three foreigners who went missing in waters near the Philippines where
a spate of recent kidnappings have taken place, a coast guard official said
Wednesday.
The official cautioned there was so far no cause to suspect the
abduction of the foreigners, who went missing late Monday along with a Malaysian off the state of Sabah on Borneo island.
The missing were identified as Spanish nationals David Hernandes
Gasulla and Martha Miguel, and Hong Kong citizen Tommy Lam Wai Yin.
The Malaysian was identified only by one name, Ella.
“We believe they experienced an engine problem and could be drifting
in their small fibre boat. The area they were travelling is quite safe,” Mohamad Zubil Mat Som said.
