Two Chinese nationals who were holidaying at Mantanani Island in Kota Belud, Sabah, have been missing since Sunday, according to Malaysia media. Search efforts are currently underway.
Yu Xiaopeng, 25, and Fan Qing, 28, checked into the Sutera Mantanani Resort on Saturday afternoon but did not check out the following day as scheduled. The resort's security team failed to locate the pair, prompting them to file a police report at 7.57pm on Sunday, freemalaysiatoday reported citing local police.
Yu was last seen in a long-sleeved shirt and black trousers while Fan was wearing a short-sleeved top and black shorts, the report said.
A friend of Yu, surnamed Zhang, reached by Chinese media said a tablet computer was found at his home in China, and by using its location-tracking function, they were able to detect the signal locations of Yu's mobile phone and Bluetooth earphones, according to Hongxing News. It showed that the phone's last signal appeared deep in the sea, while one earphone was located in the city area, and the other remained at sea.
Yu once mentioned to his friend Zhang that he might participate in activities such as snorkeling, watching the sunset or paddleboarding on October 4, per Hongxing News.
