Kuala Lumpur. A
Malaysian court has sentenced six Indonesians to 10 years in jail and
caning for trying to rob a merchant ship off its southern coast near
Singapore, reports said Saturday.
A
district court in southern Johor state sentenced the men Friday after
they pleaded guilty to gang robbery of the MT Sky Jupiter on Sept.
19, the New Straits Times and national news agency Bernama reported.
Government
lawyer Mirza Mohamad reportedly called for a deterrent sentence to
reflect the crime's seriousness, and the court awarded the men 10 years
in prison — half the maximum penalty — and four strokes with the rotan
cane.
"We do not want the situation to worsen like what is
happening in the Gulf of Aden" off Somalia where pirate attacks are
frequent, the Times quoted Mirza as saying.
Bernama reported the six, aged between 25 and 45, were legally unrepresented.
The
men were spotted by Malaysian patrols as they tried to board the
merchant vessel, anchored off the country's southern tip near Singapore,
and caught them after a chase.
The International Maritime Bureau
(IMB) in June sent an alert to ships traversing the South China Sea,
warning of a heightened piracy risk following the hijacking of three
tugboats and a barge this year there.
The Strait of Malacca —
separating the coast of Indonesian Sumatra and the Malay peninsula —
has seen a lull in attacks in recent years following cooperation by the
surrounding countries to rein in piracy.
