Malaysians freed unharmed in the Philippines. Following the launch of a police rescue operation
in Tawi-Tawi, two Malaysian seaweed farmers were peacefully released after their detainment
since February. Philippine officials arranged for medical checkups of Mr. Chen Yui-Chung
and Mr. Lai Wong-Chun to ensure their good health before transferring them to the Malaysian
embassy. Malaysia’s Ambassador to the Philippines, Dato Seri Dr. Ibrahim Saad, expressed his
country’s thanks, stating, “From the bottom of our hearts, we thank the Philippine government
for freeing them.”
We join in gratitude, Philippine police personnel and other officials, for your safe rescue
of Messrs. Chen and Lai. Wishing them joyous reunions in the welcoming company of family
and friends�
