Budget 2024: Timely move for new assets, says MMEA


PETALING JAYA: The new assets for the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) are timely as current boats are old and expensive to maintain, it said.

MMEA acting director-general Vice-Admiral Datuk Saiful Lizan Ibrahim, in a statement Friday (Oct 13), said that the additional assets will be used to bolster maritime security within the county’s waters and that it was the result of the Home Ministry “strongly proving” MMEA's urgent need.
