KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s ongoing dusk-to-dawn sea curfew which is scheduled to end on Thursday (Sept 22) has been extended to Oct 7.
Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Idris Abdullah said the two-week extension of the 6pm-6am curfew was needed due to continued threats from cross-border criminals, including kidnap-for-ransom groups.
"There is a need to continue the curfew in these waters to prevent the encroachment of terrorists and criminals who can threaten the safety of locals, international researchers and tourists on islands," Comm Idris said in a statement on Wednesday . “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.
