Survivor recalls deadly boat sinking near Malaysian coast, more bodies found<br /><br />A survivor of a boat sinking which left dozens of Myanmar's persecuted Rohingya Muslim minority dead, was rescued and recalled a harrowing journey that left him floating for days in the Andaman Sea.<br /><br />Iman said he was aboard a large boat for eight days before being transferred to a smaller one with around 70 people. But the vessel sank shortly after and he clung on to wreckage for days before washing up on a Malaysian island.<br /><br />Malaysian and Thai authorities have widened a search for dozens of people still missing in the waters near the border between the two countries. The death toll has climbed to 27 on Tuesday. <br /><br />REUTERS VIDEO<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /><br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer<br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein <br />Soundcloud: https://tmt.ph/soundcloud <br /><br />#themanilatimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#worldnews<br />
