Sabah police mull legal firearms factory


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah police have suggested that a consortium be set up to make way for a legal firearms factory to be built in the state, so that people no longer make “weapons in their backyard”.

State Police Commissioner Datuk Hazani Ghazali said there were previous reports of bullets being sold illegally and the supply was easily accessible in Sabah because of demand from owners of illegal homemade shotguns called “bakakuk”.
