KOTA KINABALU: Sabah's ongoing dusk-to-dawn sea curfew which ended on Thursday (April 20) has been extended for another 14 days to May 5.
The curfew was extended for the 209th time under Section 31 of the Police Act and was first implemented on July 16, 2014.
Sabah acting police commissioner Deputy Comm Datuk Jauteh Dikun said the curfew covers areas up to three nautical miles off Sandakan, Beluran, Kinabatangan, Lahad Datu, Kunak, Semporna and Tawau. The curfew, he added, was required 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 also allow security forces to look after the safety of Sabahans and others who travel at sea and those living on land in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone .
