“The Straits of Malacca have been a problem area for years.”

Much of this special report concentrated on the Malacca straight.
It is sad that merchant ships are not allowed to adequately
defend themselves.
Fortunately, I do not hear much of piracy here in the Philippines.
I haven’t heard of pirates there specifically either but if I was a yacht guy I’d probably be extra careful around Mindanao and Sulu.
