Sabah security boosted with 12-hour sea patrols


KOTA KINABALU: Threats from cross-border criminals, including from kidnap-for-ransom groups make it necessary to extend Sabah’s dusk to dawn sea curfew by another two weeks from Jan 11 to 26, said state Police Commissioner Datuk Omar Mammah.

The 6pm to 6am curfew covers areas up to three nautical miles off Tawau, Semporna, Kunak, Lahad Datu, Kinabatangan, Sandakan and Beluran.
