KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s ongoing dusk-to-dawn sea curfew which ends on Wednesday (April 5) has been extended for another 14 days to April 20.
The curfew, which was extended for the 208th time under Section 31 of the Police Act 1967, was first implemented on July 16, 2014.
Acting Sabah 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. He added the curfew is required to ensure that terrorists or criminals from southern Philippines do not intrude into Malaysian waters and subsequently secure the safety of international researchers or foreign tourists visiting islands in Sabah.
“The curfew will 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 .
