KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s ongoing dusk-to-dawn sea curfew has been extended another 14 days to July 24.
Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Idris Abdullah said residents in the areas covered by the curfew are required to stay at home from 6pm to 6am.He added that outsiders are not allowed to enter the curfew zones.
Idris said the extension of the curfew was necessary due to continuous threats from cross-border criminals including from kidnap-for-ransom groups. This is because their intelligence sources have revealed that the Abu Sayyaf group was still attempting to carry out kidnapping-for-ransom activities as well as other border crimes, he added.
"It will also allow us to enforce and monitor the movement of vessels as well as create a sense of security and confidence among chalet operators and the fishing industry through the omnipresence of security forces enforcing this curfew," he added.
