KOTA KINABALU: Smuggling subsidised items out of Sandakan is not just a crime — it's stealing from the poor, say enforcement officers as they ramp up patrols in local waters.
The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry, with help from the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) and Sabah Ports and Harbours Department (JPDS), carried out a joint operation Monday (March 24), inspecting four jetties and warning that enforcement will intensify.
