The SPF confirmed to The Online Citizen that several Indonesian vessels entered Singapore waters multiple times on December 24, with two vessels going deeper into Singapore’s territory around 1:20pm. The coast guard instructed the vessels to leave, which they did by 1:40pm.
The fisherman who fell, 18-year-old Danil Mahadir Van, told CNN Indonesia that he and his father believed they were fishing in their rightful area and were reluctant to leave. He claimed the coast guard’s manoeuvres caused large waves, leading to his fall.
The proximity of the Tuas waters to maritime borders has caused confusion, as the area is difficult to visually distinguish.
The Online Citizen reported Distrawandi, Chairman of the Indonesian Fishermen’s Association, as criticising the Singapore Marine Police for reckless and dangerous actions, urging humane enforcement and better understanding of maritime boundaries.
