Hi Everyone,

Please help to spread the word around for help in finding the missing anglers - Our Dad (Lee Chong Lin) and his friend (Gabriel Yong)

They were missing from their fishing trip since 23rd June 2010, at Tanjong Datu (Sarawak, Malaysia). We worry that they might drift further towards other countries like Thailand, Vietnam or Philippines.

If anyone has seen them or the boat,

Thank you.

Lee Family

Missing men’s families still hoping, praying

Tuesday, 03 August 2010 09:22

KUCHING: It is now over 30 days since avid anglers Datuk Lee Chong Lin and his friend Gabriel Yong went missing but their families are not giving up on them.

Both families are still clinging on to hope and prayers and, in their own ways, continue with the search for their loved ones and wait for news from Indonesia.

Lee and Yong embarked on a deep-sea fishing trip off Tanjong Datu on June 23.

The last call made by Lee to his wife Datin Kho Joo Keng was at 9pm that day.

On June 26, after the two men were overdue, the two families lodged missing persons reports.

Kho, who is now in Singapore, said she was still holding on to the hope that her husband would return.

People had told her that, at times, it would take one or two years for a missing person to return and that there might be a possibility that her husband was stranded somewhere on an island or might even have lost his memory.

She said they had distributed flyers and advertised in newspapers, radios and televisions in Indonesia.

And there is fear that the two men could have been abducted by pirates, but there is no evidence to support that. There are also rumours that a boat that looks like Lee’s had been seen, albeit with different paintwork.

Kho said even the media in Indonesia were puzzled by the “silence” despite a reward offered for information on the missing men.

Yong’s daughter, Anita said the family had engaged a person who knew Indonesia well to continue searching for the two missing men.

She said it was puzzling that there was no word from anyone in Indonesia who might have heard of the two men.

Meanwhile when contacted, operations director of Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA), Captain Abdul Razak, said the agency had not received any further information on the missing men.

The MMEA called off the search for the missing men at the end of last month.
