    May their souls Rest in Peace we pray. What a huge tragedy this is indeed. It is also un-fortunate that Fishermen venture into sea, in spite of Strict Warnings from Dist Administrations banning fishing in the sea during monsoons. With due respect, we know they depend on Fishing as their bread earning profession., but look at this tragedy striking unexpectedly now.!!
    We hope n pray that both families will come to terms with this terrific loss of two young men.!!

    Those who do not know swimming shall not venture into sea for fishing. All the time they shall wear life jacket so that their life can be saved in case of any accident.

    Why the life jackets are made for..???? They are only for picnic people..???? Since you guys know sea is rough during mansoon, take precautions, that is all I said. If your swimming knowledge does not work at least the life jacket may be of some help. You guys from Kulai and Hejmadi think you are the experts in swimming and this is the result, sad though.

    A terrible fishing boat tragedy which took the lives of two young men. May their souls RIP. The three others are lucky to be alive. This unpredictable weather can happen anytime and anywhere. The sea is rough with high waves at this time of the year.

    When fishing is banned in Rainy season why do they go out for this adventure? They will not be eligible for insurance/compensation from the government
