 FOUR people have been missing in Madang waters for almost a month, according to family members.

They were travelling on a boat from Bagabag Island to Madang town when they went missing on March 3. 

Family members of Terry Lingi said the 35-year-old Seventh-Day Adventist missionary from the Sepik River area of East Sepik was travelling with three local men from Bagabag.

They said nothing had been done by the Madang disaster and emergency office and the police despite approaching them three times with reports.

They believed that the men were still alive and drifting in open 

sea.  

Desperate family members from Bus stop 26-Midibit community held a fund-raising activity with a wheel barrow push last Sunday to help them search for the missing men.
