KOTA KINABALU: Search and rescue personnel have picked up two life jackets in the sea not far from where most of the 20 survivors of the catamaran tragedy were rescued five days ago. The life jackets were discovered in waters near the Semarang offshore oil platform by crew of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) patrol vessel KM Berani on Friday. MMEA officials could not immediately ascertain if the orange-coloured life jackets were those used in the ill-fated vessel as the name of the tour company that owned the catamaran was not printed on it. The life jackets were being handed over to the police for verification. He said 21 vessels and aircraft were involved in the search in waters in the southwest of Sabah, Brunei and northern Sarawak.
