Malaysia Migrant Boat Tragedy: 7 Dead, Dozens Missing After Capsizing Incident

At least seven migrants have died after a boat carrying nearly 90 people capsized off Malaysia’s Langkawi island, near the Thai border. Authorities say the vessel was part of a larger group of around 300 migrants who left Myanmar in multiple boats, reportedly organised by trafficking syndicates. Among the dead are six women and a young girl, with several others still missing. Three survivors were rescued from the waters, and search operations continue. Officials suspect the passengers included members of Myanmar’s persecuted Rohingya minority. The tragedy highlights the growing dangers faced by migrants using risky sea routes from Myanmar to Malaysia, where traffickers charge up to $3,500 per person for passage.
