Banggi Tragedy

*WARNING! You are reading a super long post, to my standard at least*

It was the morning of 26th November 2009, and everybody was busy in the house getting ready because today my dad, mom, Raihana, Nadiah and her husband Roy are going to Banggi Island, North of Sabah, where my dad came from. Rizal and I didn’t go because of work commitments. Originally Hanafiah and his wife Zaiton would be coming along too but that day he was not feeling well and his wife had food poisoning. So it was just five of them, together with a few of my relatives from my mother’s side, going by 5 cars altogether. It was about midnight, I’m about to doze off when I received a phone call from my uncle from my dad’s side, informing me that the boat that was carrying them didn’t arrive. They were following a normal villager’s boat; very much the same as the one parked next to Pasar Besar KK, at about 4 pm. I have been in this type of boat a few times, mainly because of work. My company have a few projects at Banggi Island and at times, I have to go there using these boat. Using this type of boat, you can easily reach Karakit in two hours’ time, if it’s not full of cargo and has a good engine, but most of the time it’s three hours. There is one passenger ferry service going to and from Karakit but it is limited to one ferry only and during this time of the year, that ferry is always full. My family couldn’t make it to board that ferry because it was already full. I think that’s why all of them decided to go using the ill-fated boat. At first thought of the news, I was thinking that maybe the boat was having an engine problem. But then again, you can still get faint signals on your mobile phone and message for help. It was half an hour after that that I have to prepare for the worst. My dad was found floating on the sea and the boat had sunk, none of my family members; except for my dad, know how to swim.

These are my lovely sisters
These are my lovely sisters

The weather was fine, the sea was calm. Ferry was full so they decided to take a ride on a villager’s boat, which was scheduled to bring in construction supplies to Karakit. This is the normal practice over there, a harmless normal practice. They set off at about 4:30 pm. Everyone was happy, this was their first boat ride to Karakit. My family had been to Karakit once a few years back but at that time we went by ferry. My brother and I had been there way before that because my dad was an assemblyman for Banggi, between 1983 till 1985. I can imagine how exciting that was, surrounded by your loved one, playing with the water splashing by the side of the boat. From the photo that we manage to salvage from one mobile phone, which belongs to my late cousin Haizum, the sea was calm, as if nothing could go wrong, nothing. Mom and Nadiah were in the cabin, Roy was at the stern, Raihana and dad at the bow told my dad that they would prefer going home by boat and not ferry. As I said, it was fun. 10 minutes after saying that, the boat capsizes, without any warning.

A wave had hit the boat on its side, coupled with the heavy cargo, and fell to the other side of the boat, making the boat capsize. Everyone was caught off guard. Mom and Nadiah were in the cabin when it happened, and drowned instantaneously. The rest tried to cling to the upside-down boat. Not long after that, the wave swings the boat back into its normal position. Although it is full of water, the cargo was already at to bottom of the sea. Everybody climbs back into the boat. A cousin of mine did a chest compression on Nadiah and she manage to breathe again while mom’s body was lying lifeless. Soon after Nadiah could breathe again the boat capsize again for the 2nd time. That had ensured Nadiah’s fate. The boat had turned a few times before it sank to the bottom. Just before it sank, my dad manage to tie those who had drowned to the boat so that they won’t drift away into the sea, thinking that the boat won’t sink. It’s not easy to tie your loved one to the boat especially when it’s your own wife and daughter. The other two were my aunt and cousin. After the boat sank, the rest of the survivors just drifted for hours, fighting for their life as at this point, the wave keep pounding them. My dad was holding on to the orange fish container which was floating while Raihana was holding onto dad. It was hours when my sister told my father that she was tired and couldn’t hold on anymore and said sorry. A few seconds after that she slipped away. That was the last dad saw her.

Among 21 of my family members, only 5 survived the tragedy, and 2 still missing at sea.

The important women in my life
The important women in my life

Mom, you are not the best cook. You liked to add turmeric to all your cooking, and I always have to separate it before eating. Still, your cooking tells me that you’re safe at home. You like to watch those Indonesian dramas, even though the storyline sucks big time. At times I too get dragged watching it and started asking you all sorts of questions and you would answer back without showing any sign of annoyance. That tells me you’re safe at home. I’m going to miss you.

Nadiah and Erlinna

Nadiah, you are one cool sister. You are the one who we turned to when we have a girl problem. Both of us liked female fronted bands and nearly form our own band. I’m going to miss listening to your sweet voice. I still remember early this year when I brought you along to a karaoke lounge with some friends, you left us mesmerised when you sang Foolish Games by Jewel. I loved hearing you sing Don’t Speak from No Doubt, our favourite band. You were a good friend to Erlinna when both of you were posted to Johor. Now both of you would befriend eternally. I’m going to miss you.

Raihana, you are the brainiac of this family. I sucked at Add Maths but you’re not. I still remember when you asked me for help with one of your maths problems. I was in the process of finding the answer when you say “oh, sini pula salah. ok la bang.”. I was left speechless. You solved the problem before I could solve it. Like the rest of us, who loved to watch anime, active in Silat, and know to play the guitar, you yourself would follow suit. You learn to play the guitar this year. A bother’s ego always wanted to look great in front of his sister. I would always try to teach you all I know about playing the guitar. I’m going to miss being that brother. I knew that somehow you could also sing. This video I got is from your boyfriend, who came to Kudat to wait patiently with the rest of us. Although you are still missing at sea, all of us know you are in a better place. I’m going to miss you.

Zaiddyroy and Nadiah

Roy, you are a good man. I know you really loved my sister and so does my sister. You were among those who are safe, you cried knowing Nadiah was tied to the boat. The moment you were separated from the other, everyone knew you went back to get your wife. As my sister said, cinta mati harus dijaga sampai mati, jangan sampai ke lain hati, you are now resting side by side with my sister, your wife, for eternity.

I’m not discouraging anyone who is reading this to not go and visit Banggi. It is a great place to visit. A few infrastructures are already in place since the last time I were there. I do hope everyone learned from this tragedy. This is not about whether life jackets should be provided on all boats. It is also about having safer transport as there are more and more people going in and out of that island. We need to also to have a good search and rescue plan in the event of such tragedy ever happening again. If I may give one suggestion, much like an aeroplane which always states their estimated time of arrival, a boat should do the same. If it didn’t arrive on time, search and rescue should be on their way. In my family’s case, it was about 6 hours when everyone started to look for them. 6 hours too late. The life jacket that was on that boat can only keep you floating for about 4 hours. Our family was sacrificed so that everyone would learn and benefit from it. Please don’t let them die in vain.

I was told that it is a bad omen if a boat that had already set off returned to the dock and set off again. That particular ill-fated boat had returned back to pick up another 2 passengers before setting off again.

Coincidently on the evening of the tragedy, I was listening to the soundtrack from The Boat That Rocked. I thank you for a friend who pointed that out that fact to me.

  • Dear Paival,

    Our condolences on the ill-fated tragedy that befalled you and your family. Nadiah (or Fatin as we’d always call her) was among our old schoolmates and undeniably one of the most cheerful people we had the opportunity to share our lives with. That said, it must’ve been an absolute honor to be her brother.

    Our prayers go to Nadiah and those who perished on the Banggi tragedy; a solemn reminder that God is Almighty and we are but his servants. InsyaAllah, I believe everything happens for a reason and that every single one of your family is in a better place now – resting among His believers in Jannah.

    Our regards to you and your family, and we hope you rise from this bettered rather than battered.

    -Jeff and Nadiah’s Tg. Aru I schoolmates

  • salam, takziah atas kejadian yang menimpa keluarga anda…..saya tak tau sapa anda tp saya dapat cite ni dari adik saya (waty)…..well, berserahlah padaNya kerana setiap yang terjadi tu cuma sebabnya sahaja sedangkan hakikat yang sebenarnya itu adalah takdir yang tertulis untuk mereka. saya pun ada kawan yang kehilangan seluruh ahli keluarga mereka semasa tragedi ribut Greg lalu…. sangat menyakitkan, itu sudah pasti dan untuk recovery memang lama….walau apapun sentiasa berdoa untuk mereka perlahan-lahan akan menyembuhkan rasa kehilangan itu….tc and be strong
