  • Malaysia's coast guard intercepted two boats with nearly 300 undocumented Myanmar migrants facing exhaustion from food and water shortages.
  • The boats were located about two nautical miles from Langkawi's coast, where authorities provided food and clean water.
  • Authorities are coordinating with Thai enforcement agencies to gather more information about the migrants' journey.
  • Separately, Malaysian police detained 196 undocumented migrants believed to be Rohingya after a boat landed on Langkawi.
  • Historically, Malaysia has turned away Rohingya refugees and intensified measures against undocumented migrants amid ongoing regional challenges.
