Malaysian police said Monday that 41 suspected Rakhine Muslim men and boys have been detained in the northernmost state of Perlis, the second group to land in the country in just over a month, and that some 200 others are still believed to be at sea.

Perlis police chief Noor Mushar Mohamad said the group, ranging in age from 14 to 30, landed early Monday on the same beach where 34 women and children from northern Rakhine were found stranded on March 2.
