The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Authority (MMEA) said it would continue to conduct routine patrols in the area.

It is understood that the missing tourists were identified as 25-year-old Chinese in the city of Shaping (man) and 28-year-old Fang Zhen (woman),ly for the last time they were diving near the resort before they disappeared.
