KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s ongoing dusk-to-dawn sea curfew, which ends on Sunday (Nov 6), has been extended for another 14 days to Nov 21.
The curfew, which was extended for the 198th time under Section 31 of the Police Act 1967, was first implemented on July 16, 2014.
He said the residents in areas covered by the curfew were required to stay at home from 6pm to 6am while outsiders were not allowed to enter the curfew zones. He said the curfew was necessary to ensure terrorists or criminals from southern Philippines do not intrude into Malaysian waters, adding this will subsequently ensure the safety of international researchers or foreign tourists visiting islands in Sabah.
He said 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 .“This will create a sense of security and confidence among chalet operators and fishermen through the presence of security vessels enforcing this curfew,” he added.
