PASIR MAS: The authorities’ strict action in shutting down illegal crossings at the Malaysia-Thailand border in Rantau Panjang here has forced operators of illegal jetties to move their operations to the neighbouring country.
General Operations Force (GOF) South-East Brigade commander Datuk Nik Ros Azhan Nik Ab Hamid said the closure, enforced on Dec 1, reflected the growing compliance of border-area communities with the ban on unauthorised crossings.
