Sources: https://www.reuters.com/article/amp/idINKBN23F25P Summary: Malaysia on Monday detained 269 Rohingya migrants when they tried to enter the country on a damaged boat off the holiday island of Langkawi, authorities said. The Southeast Asian country, which does not recognize refugee status, has been a favored destination for ethnic Rohingya who fled a 2017 military-led crackdown in Myanmar . Acting on a tip-off received a day before, Malaysian authorities intercepted a boat ferrying the Rohingya in the pre-dawn hours of Monday off Langkawi off the northwestern corner of the Malaysian peninsula. “An inspection of their boat found 216 Rohingya migrants and the body of one female illegal immigrant. Further inspections found that the boat was deliberately damaged..., making it unfit to be turned back,” Malaysia’s National Task Force on border patrol said in a statement. Before the boat was intercepted, 53 migrants had jumped into the sea in an attempt to evade arrest, the statement said, but were detained by the Malaysian coast guard once they reached shore.
