Cargo vessel detained in Selangor waters
Selangor MMEA director Maritime Capt Abdul Muhaimin Muhammad Salleh said the ship's AIS (Automatic Identification System) had transmitted two different names with the same MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) number.
'Investigations are being conducted under the Merchant Shipping Ordinance (MSO) 1952," he added in a statement on Friday (May 9).
According to Abdul Muhaimin, the state MMEA had detained the vessel on Friday at about 0.23 nautical miles east of Pulau Che Mat Zin during a routine patrol under the agency's OP EHSAN and OP TIRIS 3.0 in Selangor waters.
'The ship, which was heading to SouthPort, had appeared on the radar with two different names and hence was detained for inspection.
'Initial inspection found that the ship was operated by a 63-year-old skipper with two crew members aged 26 and 35.
'All of them are Malaysian citizens," said Abdul Muhaimin.
The vessel was taken to the Marine Police jetty at Pulau Indah near here to be handed over to the Selangor MMEA investigating officer for further probe.
Abdul Muhaimin said the MMEA would continue to strengthen monitoring and law enforcement in Malaysian waters, especially Selangor waters.
He urged members of the public to channel any complaints, information, or emergency incidents at sea by contacting the emergency line 999 or the Selangor State Maritime Operations Centre (013-6606652) / Malaysian Maritime Operations Centre (03-89957820) for immediate response.

Rosmah awarded RM100,000 in TikTok defamation lawsuit
KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has awarded Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor (pic) RM100,000 in damages in her defamation lawsuit against a TikToker concerning her appearance. Justice Ahmad Shahrir Mohd Salleh ruled that Rosmah had successfully established her entitlement to damages in her lawsuit against Ku Muhammad Hilmie Ku Din, with a global award of RM100,000 deemed just and proportionate. "This global award in the sum of RM100,000 comprises general and aggravated damages. The claim for exemplary damages is not allowed as there is no cogent evidence before this court to support such an award," he said during the decision for the assessment of damages on Tuesday (July 8). The court ordered interest at a rate of 5% per annum on the judgment sum to be imposed from the date of judgment until full satisfaction of the award. On May 28, last year, the court allowed Rosmah's application to enter a judgment in default (JID) against TikTok account owner Ku Muhammad Hilmie, who failed to appear in the case. The decision on damages was deferred for later assessment. Rosmah filed the suit through Messrs Hafarizam Wan & Aisha Mubarak on Sept 19, 2023. She claimed that Ku Hilmie had uploaded a TikTok video on March 2, 2023, containing defamatory content against her. The wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak alleged that the post implied she committed a sin, was linked to bomoh activities and Satan, practised polytheism, and needed to repent. She stated that the TikTok post prejudiced her reputation as the wife of a former Malaysian prime minister and a patron to charities, leading to public criticism and damage to her reputation as a public figure. Rosmah sought general, aggravated, and exemplary damages to be assessed by the court, and an injunction to prevent Ku Hilmie or his agents from repeating the defamatory post, among other relief deemed fit by the court. However, the injunction application was withdrawn due to the defendant's non-appearance.
