Pirates, pirates, pirates

When you think that you are onboard one of the world's heaviest tanker, you are absolutely safe, right? WRONG. That was what happened to one of Malaysia's tanker owned by MISC. What is interesting is that the Malaysian tanker is not the only one which the Somali pirates have hijacked. They have hijacked other ships and what do they want in return? Money. I think the hijackers only want ransom before releasing the ships. That is bad.


I thought that the authorities are going on a 24 hours look out for pirates? What happened? The Straits of Melacca is well known of pirates attack so the governments of Malaysia, Indonesia and also Singapore have joined force to tackle the problem which they are good at it. However, it is unclear about the present situation though. Nowhere is safe now. We have to defend ourselves!!!
