Illegal bases all along Malaysia-Thai border


KOTA BARU: There are around 140 illegal bases along the 106km Malaysia-Thailand border, especially in Kelantan.

The bases were most likely set up during the hot season, and their numbers are expected to rise along Sungai Golok as the river’s water level has been dropping, said Customs deputy director-general (enforcement and compliance) Datuk Sazali Mohamad.
