FT cow have to send flower wreath to his motherly hometown school in Penang where dragon boat capsized today with teachers and students lost at sea. And he is NOT the only minister in PAP Govt who is from that school, I know that there are at least 4 in PAP cabinet from that school and many others in high government post including police and SAF.

What school? Chung Ling High School.

They have an alumni association in Singapore to show how many thousands of them are in Singapore. And where is their club house? Not far from Singapore Casket at Lavender Street! Order wreath is great convenience!

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Police say a teacher drowned and five students are missing after their dragon boat hit a tug boat and sank during race practice in Malaysia.

Police official Gan Kong Meng says the dragon boat - a long, narrow boat powered by paddlers - capsized in rough seas Sunday in northern Penang state.

Gan says the other 17 students on board have been accounted for. Some were rescued by fishermen and others managed to swim ashore. Their teacher's body was recovered.

Dragon boat racing is a popular sport in Malaysia and is included in the regional Southeast Asia Games held every two years. - Sapa-AP

槟城钟灵龙舟队发生翻船意外
两师生溺毙,四人尚下落不明

下午 2点55分
penang dragon boat accident 01槟城钟灵中学龙舟队今早在五条路海域进行训练时,不幸发生意外翻船案件。一名首度随队的年轻老师和1名学生庄伟翔(17岁)证实溺毙,两人的尸体已经寻获。

目前,还有4名介于16岁至17岁的学生下落不明。事发时,在船上的另外12名学生已获救,唯拯救工作仍在进行中。

4名在怡保出席大会的行动党议员也第一时间赶回槟城,了解状况。他们分别是行政议员彭文宝、罗兴强、彭加兰哥打区州议员刘敬亿和首长政治秘书黄伟益。

州总警长指仅一人穿救生衣

penang dragon boat accident 170109 student body此外,根据《马新社》报道,槟州总警长阿育耶谷说,死者是20余岁的女教师陈爱芳,搜拯队今早10点30分发现其尸体。

4名失踪的男学生分别是现年17岁的Brandon Yeoh、高义祥、谢子俊,及现年16岁的杨祥。(以上皆人名译音)

阿育耶谷告诉媒体:“在下落不明的男学生当中,只有1人穿救生衣。”

他说,海空两路共60人组成的搜拯队目前还在搜寻这4名学生的下落。

penang dragon boat accident 170109 rescue team事发地点位于日落洞岸外约100米海域,钟灵龙舟队每周在当地练习,以便在今年中参加槟州国际龙舟竞标赛。

阿育耶谷说,该校龙舟队有18名队员,包括该名溺毙的陈姓教师、2名教练及15名学生。

这批队员今早8点练习划龙舟,据悉,该龙舟在早上10点20分遇浪被打翻,酿成悲剧。

罗兴强:不鼓励在海上练习

penang dragon boat accident 03掌管槟州旅游事务的罗兴强被询及时表示,州政府自去年就允许各龙舟队伍长期在直落巴巷水坝训练,但不能阻止任何人士出海练习。

“不过,我们不鼓励在海上练习。”

他承认,此事件对槟州国际龙舟竞标赛造成一定程度的影响,但难断言是否被腰斩。目前,应该以拯救失踪的学生为首任。

penang dragon boat accident 170109 wee kia siong另一方面,教育部副部长魏家祥在下午4点抵达拯救队扎营处,但在未召开记者会下,即动身出海巡视。

第一时间抵达现场的慈济志工不断轻唱佛曲,安抚在场等候消息的学生家属。下午4点多曾一度误传2名学生获救,导致家属激动万分。但经过证实后,发现是沟通不良。

魏家祥促课外活动遵守安全措施

魏家祥在海上逗留1个小时半后,回到岸上召开记者会表示,行动队决定移走在事发现场的浮台旁两艘拖船,以便阳光可渗透海地。之后,拯救队在渔民协助下继续搜寻,但因天色已暗被逼中止。

他代表教育部,问候家属和传达对此悲剧的哀伤,并提呈报告给教长,盼以此为鉴和教训。

他表示,此悲剧是意想不到的意外,不必归咎任何人士。至于是否展开调查,他表示,将等待教育局的报告。

“课外活动将照常进行,但教局再度提醒,需遵守各项安全措施和程序,特别是水上活动。以后,当局也将加强指南。”

天暗停止搜寻,明早8点延续

由于接近黄昏,阳光无法渗透水面进入海地,今天的拯救行动在下午7点宣告一段落,并会最迟在明早8点延续搜寻行动。

拯救队总指挥莫拉占(Mohd Razam)表示,由于没有阳光,潜水搜寻工作必须终止。。但当局今晚仍会每个小时出动二艘船,沿海展开水面搜寻。

晚上7点45分,槟首长林冠英也抵达事发现场,慰问下落不明的学生家属。他对痛失优秀的年轻人与生命,感到悲伤不己。同时期盼,拯救队可寻获4人的下落。

至于其他方面的援助,他表示,家属目前的首要要求是搜寻学生的下落,其他的事项,政府肯定会谈论和落实。

此外,虽然相关单位已展开调查,但他不忘表示,槟州政府之后若觉得必要,也会进行本身的调查。

生还者:龙舟一翻全船人惊恐

一名在今早练习划龙舟时被大浪打翻落海获救的学生,心有余悸地追溯事发情形说:“一切发生在刹那间……我们全都惊慌及恐惧,当中有人直接没顶”。

该名获救的学生为现年17岁的柯子绪(译音)。他说,他们在划舟45分钟后尝试“U”转折返时,龙舟突然被大浪打翻。

事发当时,他们在日落洞岸外约100米海域进行划龙舟练习,这名学生则坐在龙舟的后方。

“我们的龙舟遭大浪拍打中,接着撞向一艘舯舡后即翻船,我们全坠落海里。”

他指出,当中一些人游向一艘在附近的船并获救。

“我无法相信,我不想再提了,我非常伤心。”

Third body found in Malaysian dragon boat tragedy


(AFP) – 5 hours ago

KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysian authorities said Monday they had recovered the bodies of a teacher and two students drowned in a boating tragedy, while the search for three others continued.

Eighteen people were aboard the long, narrow "dragon boat" when strong undercurrents tipped it over as it made a turn in waters off the resort island of Penang in Malaysia's north early Sunday.

The 18, including 15 young paddlers, were practising for a dragon boat competition later in the year, along with a teacher and two trainers.

"We discovered the body of the third victim, a 17-year-old student, at about 8:00 am this morning near the scene of the accident," Penang police chief Ayub Yakob told AFP.

"The confirmed deaths so far are three, and we will continue to search for another three missing students," he added.

The body of the male teacher was recovered from the sea Sunday morning and the body of another 17-year-old student was found in the afternoon.

Ayub has said that initial investigations revealed that several of the rowers, all from a local school, were not wearing life jackets but most of the group managed to swim to shore.
