KUCHING (Bernama): Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr James Jemut Masing (pic) has directed for the Malaysia-Indonesia border security patrol to be beefed up to curb the influx of undocumented migrants into Sarawak following the spike in Covid-19 cases in Indonesia.

He said the Armed Forces as well as border enforcement agencies like the General Operation Force (GOF) and the Immigration Department need to intensify their surveillance on the illegal trails or locally know as "jalan tikus” (rat trails) along the international boundary.
