KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s ongoing dusk-to-dawn sea curfew has been extended for 14 days to June 24.
Sabah police commissioner Datuk Idris Abdullah said people who reside in the areas covered by the curfew are required to stay at home from 6pm to 6am, while outsiders are not allowed to enter the curfew zones.
Idris said the curfew was extended because of lingering threats from cross-border criminals including from kidnap-for-ransom groups. “Our intelligence sources have found that kidnap groups as well as the Abu Sayyaf Group are still attempting to enter our waters and carry out kidnapping activities as well as other cross-border crimes,” he said in a statement on Wednesday .
“It will also allow us to monitor the movement of vessels as well as create a sense of security and confidence among chalet operators and fishermen through the presence of security vessels enforcing this curfew,” Idris said.
