KOTA KINABALU: Sabah will continue to implement its dusk to dawn sea curfew and has extended it from March 6 until March 21.
Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Idris Abdullah said the extension of the 6pm to 6am sea curfew was needed due to continuous threats from cross-border criminals, including from kidnap-for-ransom groups.
He said there was a need to continue the curfew in these areas to prevent the encroachment of terrorists and criminals who can threaten the safety of locals, international researchers and tourists on islands. “The curfew allows authorities to ensure the safety of the people of Sabah who use the waters and are staying near the Esszone,” he said.
