Klang boat capsize: Bodies of married couple found near Port Klang

SHAH ALAM, June 8 — The bodies of the married couple who went missing after their boat capsized in the waters off Tanjung Harapan, Port Klang on Friday (June 6) were found this morning.

The Selangor Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) Enforcement and Excise Unit's operations officer Maritime Lieutenant Mohd Syafiq Sazali said the remains of Gan Hon Tat, 32, and his wife Careen Man, 29, were found at 7.45am at 0.1 nautical miles from the National Hydrographic Centre in North Port, Port Klang.

The MMEA's vessel KD Danga found the floating bodies before the Fire and Rescue Department personnel arrived to help take their remains ashore at the Selangor MMEA Jetty.

"The bodies were taken to the jetty at 8.50am before being handed over to the police,” he said when contacted by Bernama today.

The couple, from Klang Utama, were among six people who were in the boat before it capsized at 5pm on Friday, resulting in the death of Darren Gan, three; Cheu Son Hin, 50; and Fong Yong Sen, 29; while Alvin Chang Yan Qin, 17, survived.
