KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak congratulated the Royal Malaysian Navy on its success in rescuing a Malaysian chemical tanker, saying Malaysia was studying international laws on how to deal with detained pirates.
The Prime Minister said: “We will determine what we should do (with the pirates); whether we are going to bring them here to be tried or take any other appropriate action.”
Speaking to reporters after launching the 1Malaysia Youth Fund here yesterday, Najib said: “I am proud of the success. They had acted efficiently and demonstrated their bravery in rescuing the tanker.”
The navy’s elite team Pasukan Khas Laut (Paskal) recorded a victory when it foiled an attempted hijack by Somali pirates on the MT Bunga Laurel in the Gulf of Aden on Thursday.
Commandos on board the navy’s auxiliary ship Bunga Mas 5, headed by Komander Mohd Nazri Sharif, saved the tanker that was headed for Singapore in the nick of time.
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi also congratulated the commandos for a job well done
