<p>The Ministry of Defence and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office have sought assistance
from Malaysia in preventing unauthorised salvage and damage to the military maritime
graves of HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales, mindful of the difficulty of doing
so when they are situated in international waters. Our High Commission in Kuala Lumpur
released a press statement on 23 May welcoming the Malaysian impounding of a vessel
responsible for illegally disturbing and salvaging scrap from wrecks in the area.</p>
