The status of another boat carrying 230 passengers remained unclear, Malaysian authorities said, adding that 13 survivors had been found so far, mostly Rohingya. Thai authorities said they had recovered four bodies, including two children, adding to the seven found by Malaysia's maritime agency. At a press conference on the island of Langkawi, close to the search area, Malaysia's maritime agency said air assets were being deployed by both Thailand and Malaysia to search for survivors. "We have got very good ... relations with the Thai agency so we have got good communication and exchanges of information," said Romli Mustafa, director of the maritime agency in Malaysia's Kedah and Perlis. An official from Thailand's maritime enforcement command centre told Reuters the four dead included two children, age 12 and over 10, and two adults.
