Study under way to rotate Esscom command between Bukit Aman and Mindef, says Zahid


KAJANG: The command of the Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom) will be placed under the police and army on a rotation basis, rather than being an independent body as it has operated in the past.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said on Saturday that the transition was still being studied by the Ministry and National Security Council (NSC), adding that the final decision on the matter would be made by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
