KUANTAN: The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) Pahang has successfully thwarted 18 criminal cases, seizing nearly RM650,000 worth of assets, through special operations dubbed Ops Khas Pagar Laut, over the five years of its implementation until last year.
Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail said that most of the cases involved encroachment by Vietnamese fishing boats, illegal immigrant entries and smuggling activities.
