KOTA KINABALU, Sept 2 — Sabah opposition leader Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal has urged the authorities to beef up security in Semporna after he received news of criminal activities in the waters there recently.
“If what has been reported to me is true, then it is very heartbreaking to me because our security forces are the ones who are supposed to protect our safety and public order but have instead become the perpetrators of criminal activities.The Parti Warisan president said it is imperative that the Defence Ministry focuses its assets and equipment on places of importance like Semporna, which borders the Philippine and is popular for its beautiful islands.
Shafie said the government allocates billions of ringgit each year for security and defence of the country, so it is unlikely that the government does not want to place security assets in hotspots with frequent intrusions and robbery cases.
