Four Indonesians 'drowned'

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters): Malaysian authorities have begun
searching for at least four Indonesians feared drowned off
Malaysia's west coast, a marine department official said on
Friday.

Police found the bodies of five Indonesians off Port Klang,
the country's busiest port, on Thursday. Their boat had capsized
a few days earlier while trying to sneak into Malaysian waters
illegally, the official said.

Malaysia's national Bernama news agency quoted a police
spokesman as saying passing ships had reported seeing nine or 10
bodies floating in the waters off the port.

Bernama said police detained on Thursday another group of 35
Indonesians traveling in a separate boat. None of those detained
had valid travel papers and all were likely be deported.
