SYDNEY: Malaysia will beef up security controls to address cross-border crimes by streamlining the relevant agencies’ standard operating procedures, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.

He said the integration of the servi­ces of the four border security control agencies – the marine police, Malaysia Maritime Enforce­ment Agency (MMEA), Royal Malay­sian Navy and Malaysia Border Security Agency (Aksem) – was vital for more effective action against crimes such as human trafficking as well as smuggling of drugs and firearms.
