Sea curfew extended with threats still present

KOTA KINABALU: Malaysian intelligence sources detected that kidnap-for-ransom (KFR) groups as well as the Abu Sayyaf group were still trying to enter the country’s waters and carry out kidnapping and cross-border crimes, says Sabah’s top cop.

Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Idris Abdullah said the threats from cross-border criminals necessitated the extension of the ongoing dusk-to-dawn sea curfew.
