Defence Minister Minister Mohamad Sabu said the monitoring was implemented because the use of routes in the national waters without valid permission would pose security threats to the country. ‘’We seriously view the issue of foreigners. In fact, recently, the Cabinet held a special meeting on the issue of immigrants,’’ he said after a breaking-the-fast and handing of hari raya parcels to RMN personnel aboard KD Pahang in the waters of Kuantan today.
