NSTnation: Since 2018, security forces have thwarted 40 kidnapping attempts in the waters off seven districts in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESSZone).
Eastern Sabah Security Command commander Datuk Hazani Ghazali said this was due to the cooperation between the Royal Malaysian Police, armed forces and the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency.
“In 2017, there were no abduction cases, while there were two each in 2018 and 2019. We have foiled several kidnapping attempts since 2018, because when ESSCom receives information, all our personnel and assets will be deployed.” “Curfews were enforced in the waters off the ESSZone to prevent kidnappings while at the same time security personnel were stationed at the resorts where abductions were likely to occur,” he said.
