KOTA KINABALU: The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) has seized an abandoned sampan with seven fish bombs in Sabah's northern waters near Pulau Banggi off Kudat.

Kudat MMEA commander Boon Chin Chau said they believe the suspects were carrying out fish bombing activities at about 1.50pm on Saturday (Sept 25).
