KUALA TERENGGANU: Four foreign fishermen had to swim to safety after their boat capsized but their luck ran out as they were detained for not possessing legal documents.
The fishermen, aged between 23 and 27, were detained after their boat capsized in Tok Jembal waters here on Sunday night.
The fishermen, a Thai and three Cambodians, had swum to shore after their boat was hit by tidal waves and slammed against a rock at about 7pm.
