GE13: Ensuring people’s well-being safeguarded

THE setting up of the Eastern Sabah Safety Zone, as announced by the Prime Minister on Monday, is a step in the right direction to ensure the safety and security of the people in the affected districts.

The 10 districts – Kudat, Kota Marudu, Pitas, Beluran, Sandakan, Kinabatangan, Lahad Datu, Kunak, Semporna and Tawau – will be administered by an Eastern Sabah Safety Zone Committee, set up under the Preservation of Public Security Regulations 2013, and chaired by the Sabah chief minister.
