Don't let militant groups make Sabah their next base, says security analyst

KOTA KINABALU: The threat of militant groups including the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) making Sabah a base should be nipped in the bud, says a security analyst.

Associate Prof Wan Shawaluddin Wan Hassan said that with ASG nearly crippled in the Philippines, there was a real possibility of the group putting down roots in Sabah.
