KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s ongoing dusk-to-dawn sea curfew, which ends on Tuesday (Dec 6), has been extended for another 14 days to Dec 21.
The curfew, which was extended for the 200th time under Section 31 of the Police Act 1967, was first implemented on July 16, 2014.
Sabah police commissioner Comm Datuk Idris Abdullah said the curfew covers areas up to three nautical miles off Sandakan, Beluran, Kinabatangan, Lahad Datu, Kunak, Semporna and Tawau. He added the curfew was necessary to ensure terrorists or criminals from southern Philippines do not intrude into Malaysian waters and subsequently ensure the safety of international researchers or foreign tourists visiting islands in Sabah.
“The curfew will allow security forces to look after the safety of people who travel at sea and those living in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone .
