KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s maritime communities have been reminded to be extra careful while carrying out any sea activity during the northeast monsoon season.

Sabah and Labuan Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) director First Admiral Datuk Che Engku Suhaimi Che Engku Daik said during this period, strong winds are expected to cause high waves and choppy seas at the South China Sea that could be dangerous to small boats, sea recreation and sports, among others.
