Four missing fishermen have been found alive floating in a fishing box off the coast of Malaysia after going missing for five days.

The crew set out for sea on January, 29, but their boat was struck by a huge wave in treacherous weather and sank.

Captain Mohd Zaidi Camry Abdullah, 43, and three of his crew members Muhammad Herman Arpat, 25, Sinasi Badu, 44, and Frenky Daud Amin, 40, built a makeshift lifeboat made out of two fish boxes after they found a leak at the bow of their boat.

Knowing the boat was quickly sinking, the four men grabbed their food supplies, left the boat and climbed into the two large orange containers in the hope of finding safety.
