SAR area expanded to two nautical miles in search for three missing teenagers in Tanjung Lompat

The search and rescue operation for three missing teenagers at Tanjung Lompat in Bandar Penawar has expanded to cover two nautical miles, following the discovery of one victim nearby.

Tanjung Sedili Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency acting director, Mohd Najib Sam, stated that the expanded search area accounts for the possibility that the teenagers may have drifted further away.

The operation, involving 41 personnel and aided by drones, faces challenges due to rough weather and high tides.

Efforts remain concentrated in Malaysian waters, though neighboring countries have been notified of the incident.

KOTA TINGGI, Sept 3 — The search and rescue (SAR) operation for three teenagers missing at Tanjung Lompat in Bandar Penawar has been expanded to cover up to two nautical miles of coastal waters today.

Tanjung Sedili Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) acting director Mohd Najib Sam said the search area was widened following the discovery of one victim about 500 metres from the incident site yesterday.

“Today’s SAR operational area has been increased from one to two nautical miles of coastal area in an effort to locate the three missing teenagers.

“The expanded area takes into account that there is a possibility that the missing teenagers are further away from their initial location,” he told reporters at the SAR command centre in Tanjung Lompat here today.

Mohd Najib said the operation resumed at 7am today involving 41 officers and personnel from various agencies, with two drones — one each from MMEA and the Fire and Rescue Department — deployed to assist the search.

He said the drones conducted two flights in the morning and would continue operating during high tide to determine whether the missing teenagers had been swept towards other nearby coastal areas.

“The drones flew two sessions in the morning in an effort to locate the missing victims.

“The drones will continue to be flown during high tide to see if the victims were washed away to other nearby coastal areas,” he said.

Mohd Najib said rough weather was also hampering the operation, with waves reaching 1.15 metres.

“The situation may change again in the afternoon due to the expected high tide and bad weather,” he said.

He added that authorities in neighbouring countries had been informed of the incident through the Maritime Rescue Sub-Centre (MRSC) in Johor Bahru.

However, he said the SAR operation remained focused on Malaysian waters, including onshore areas.

It was reported yesterday that four teenage boys were feared to have drowned after a beach outing, while two others were rescued.

The body of the first victim, Alif Taqiudin Kamal Hasrul Mohamad, 16, was found by the SAR team with the assistance of villagers at 1.25pm yesterday, about 800 metres from where he was last seen.

The three teenagers still missing are Muhammad Thaqif Rayyan Rumainoor, Mohamad Haiman Fitri Supian and Muhammad Adib Hafiy Kamal, all aged 16.

在班达尔佩纳瓦尔的丹戎隆帕特，三名失踪青少年的搜救行动范围扩大到两海里，此前在附近发现了一名受害者。

丹绒西迪利马来西亚海事执法机构代理主任莫哈末·纳吉布·萨姆表示，扩大搜索范围是因为这些青少年可能已经漂流到更远的地方。

此次行动共有 41 名人员参与，并有无人机协助，但由于恶劣天气和高潮，行动面临诸多挑战。

虽然邻国已被告知此事，但调查工作仍集中在马来西亚水域。

哥打丁宜，9月3日讯——今天，在班达尔佩纳瓦尔丹戎隆帕特失踪的三名青少年的搜救行动已扩大范围，覆盖至多两海里的沿海水域。

丹绒西迪利马来西亚海事执法机构（MMEA）代理主任莫哈末·纳吉布·萨姆表示，昨天在距离事发地点约 500 米处发现一名受害者后，搜索范围扩大了。

“为了找到三名失踪的青少年，今天的搜救行动区域已从沿海一海里扩大到两海里。”

“扩大搜寻范围考虑到失踪青少年有可能距离他们最初的位置更远，”他今天在丹戎隆帕的搜救指挥中心告诉记者。

莫哈末纳吉表示，搜救行动于今天早上7点恢复，共有来自各个机构的41名官员和人员参与，并部署了两架无人机——分别来自马来西亚海事执法局和消防救援部门——协助搜救工作。

他说，无人机上午进行了两次飞行，并将在涨潮期间继续作业，以确定失踪的青少年是否被冲向附近的其他沿海地区。

“无人机上午进行了两轮飞行，试图找到失踪的受害者。

他说：“我们将在涨潮时继续放飞无人机，看看遇难者是否被冲到附近的其他沿海地区。”

莫哈末纳吉表示，恶劣天气也阻碍了救援行动，海浪高达 1.15 米。

他说：“由于预计下午将出现涨潮和恶劣天气，情况可能会再次发生变化。”

他还补充说，邻国当局已通过柔佛州新山的海上救援分中心 (MRSC) 获悉了这起事件。

但他表示，搜救行动仍然集中在马来西亚水域，包括近岸地区。

昨天有报道称，四名十几岁的男孩在海滩游玩后疑似溺水身亡，另有两人获救。

昨天下午 1 点 25 分，搜救队在村民的协助下找到了第一名遇难者，16 岁的阿里夫·塔基丁·卡迈勒·哈斯鲁尔·穆罕默德的遗体，地点距离他最后一次被人看到的地方约 800 米。

仍然失踪的三名青少年是穆罕默德·塔吉夫·雷扬·鲁迈努尔 (Muhammad Thaqif Rayyan Rumainoor)、穆罕默德·海曼·菲特里·苏皮安 (Mohamad Haiman Fitri Supian) 和穆罕默德·阿迪卜·哈菲伊·卡迈勒 (Muhammad Adib Hafiy Kamal)，均年满 16 岁。

阿什拉夫·瓦吉迪表示，只有扎希德才能决定他是否应该辞去马拉主席一职。

阿什拉夫·瓦吉迪表示，巫统的未来方向和团结政府关系是即将召开的大会的关键议题之一。
