Nothing like putting the last paragraph first eh?

Authorities gave the migrants food supplies and clean drinking water after the boats were discovered on Friday two nautical miles southwest off the coast of the Malaysian resort island of Langkawi, the agency said.

"We are also closely co-operating with Thai enforcement agencies to obtain additional information on the movement of the boats," its Director-General Mohd Rosli Abdullah said in a statement on Saturday. The coast guard did not say if the migrants were Rohingya, a mainly Muslim minority whose members often flee majority Buddhist Myanmar, where they are seen as foreign interlopers from South Asia, who are denied citizenship and face abuse.

On Friday, Malaysian police had detained 196 undocumented Myanmar migrants after their boat landed on a beach at Langkawi. Police said all the migrants, 71 children and 57 women among them, were believed to be ethnic Rohingya. All the detained migrants were taken to be documented and their health checked, the police said in a separate statement on Friday.

What mark? There was never a mark just a whole pack of lies.

The media doesn't elevate pub bores the way they elevate musk. He doesn't care whether you love him or hate him just as long as he has your attention.

I stick to just one device for editing. How they look on various electronic devices worries me far less than how they look when printed in books and magazines.

It wasn't under the radar, just your media didn't report it. They often fail to report things they'd rather you not know much about.

In years gone by it was said to be a haven for pirates and smugglers and, as you wander around its narrow lanes, alleys and duckboards, it is easy to understand why. But while there is no evidence that pirates ever had hideouts in Tai O, piracy in the surrounding seas was rampant.

 

Australian PM Anthony Albanese was referred to the International Criminal Court in a communiqué presented to ICC prosecutor Karim Khan KC on Monday.
