KUCHING: Sarawak will buy boats for its own coast guard next year to help protect the state's coastal areas and marine resources, says Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.

The Chief Minister said the size of the boats needed was being assessed by experts, but would likely be similar to the fast patrol boats used by the marine police.
