No New Leads Found in Search for Missing Commando

As of yesterday, no new leads have been identified in the ongoing search operation for the 25-year-old commando, Lance Corporal Edrin Baintim, who is feared to have drowned. The search resumed on its fourth day this morning, commencing around 7am. The operation, which began on February 7 after the commando went missing during combat diving training, has been expanded with additional resources and international cooperation.
Expanded Search Operations and Assets Deployed

The search today was structured into six sectors for maritime assets and two sectors for aerial assets, covering an area of 1,000 square kilometres. In total, 17 assets have been deployed, comprising 15 sea-based assets and two aircraft. A team of 205 members from various agencies is involved in the extensive search effort.
International Cooperation with Indonesia

To ensure a comprehensive search, the Putrajaya Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) has formally notified Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency (BASARNAS). This notification is based on data and information from the Search and Rescue Optimal Planning System (SAROPS), which suggests a possibility that the missing commando may have drifted into Indonesian waters. Indonesian counterparts have been alerted to monitor their maritime areas.
Dive Conducted Near Last Known Location

As part of the search methodology, the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) rescue diving team conducted a dive yesterday. This dive took place approximately 50 metres from the location where the victim was initially reported missing. The objective was to analyse the potential area where the commando might surface or drift, providing crucial data for the ongoing search efforts.
