Unaware that the currents had carried them into Singapore waters, two Malaysian anglers were surprised to find themselves in a warm and friendly exchange with the Police Coast Guard (PCG) as officers conducted their routine checks.
In a video posted by TikTok user Fizreeajie on Tuesday (Nov 18), the anglers can be heard explaining to the police how they had unintentionally drifted into Singapore waters.
During the light-hearted exchange, an officer even asked whether their wives allowed them to go fishing, to which one of the fishermen responded, “Yes.”
The officer then joked, “My wife gets grumpy. When I tell her I want to go fishing, her face turns sour.”
In one part of the conversation, one of the anglers apologised for their situation, saying, “Sorry, we were eating and we didn’t know we drifted into (Singapore waters).”
According to the caption, the incident is believed to have occurred while the fishermen were having their lunch.
The police officer then went on to explain that it was necessary for them to conduct checks, as other trespassers would attempt to flee.
