The collision has also shone a light on a territorial dispute that has been simmering between Singapore and Malaysia for nearly 40 years.

Both countries said the incident took place in their respective territorial waters, near the rocky outcrop of Pedra Branca, which has long been contested between the two nations. Singapore and Malaysia have both claimed to be leading the search and rescue operation for the missing sailors.
