Tragic end: Rescue personnel taking the five bodies to the Port Dickson hospital yesterday. PORT DICKSON: Rescue teams and fishermen have recovered the bodies of nine Indonesians who drowned after a fishing boat ferrying them to Dumai from Banting capsized in choppy waters near here early Tuesday.
At press time, four bodies had been brought to shore and sent to the Port Dickson Hospital for a post-mortem. Efforts to bring in the remaining bodies, found huddled together by fishermen, are under way.
This brings to 12 the number of bodies found so far. Rescue teams believe five more passengers of the doomed boat are still missing.
