Gunmen have abducted a female Chinese tourist and a hotel receptionist from a dive resort in eastern Malaysia

The group of armed men allegedly snatched the two women from a hotel on the idyllic Singamata Reef Resort in Semporna, Sabah, before fleeing the scene by boat.
The gang of six men, who are believed to be Philippine rebels, grabbed the 29-year-old tourist and the 40-year-old hotel worker at around 10.30pm on Wednesday night, local time.


Chinese embassy officials in Malaysia have met Sabah's chief of police and the state's tourism minister, urging them to confirm and investigate the incident quickly.

The missing tourist has been confirmed as coming from Shanghai, and the Chinese consulate have issued an emergency telephone number for concerned families.
A receptionist at the hotel declined to comment, as did police in the district.
A Philippines intelligence official said the attackers were believed to be from the Abu Sayaff group, a militant Muslim group that claims allegiance to al-Qaida and has been implicated in other kidnappings for ransom in the region before.

They don't have much luck, it was the Indonesians when I was there the second time blowing things up.   The first time the Chinese were not happy bunnies and killing people.

Hope they manage to sort this, got enough on their plate at the moment.
