Do dragons exist? I am not referring to Komodo dragons, of course. I heard rumours about a Dragon been accidentally killed by the nets of a fisherman in Malaysia, but he threw back the body into the sea. Anyone heard any of this? Any truth?

I think you're thinking of the supposed "dinosaur" they found. It was actually a shark, I'm afraid.
In 1977, a "plesiosaur" carcass was netted by a Japanese trawler.
The carcass was a partly decomposed basking shark, according to tissue samples and descriptions and sketches by witnesses. Reports that it was a plesiosaur were based on a superficial resemblance caused by the pattern in which sharks decay and were spread and exaggerated by news media hype (Kuban 1997).
