KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s ongoing dusk-to-dawn sea curfew, which was to have ended on Friday (May 5), has been extended for another 14 days to May 20.
The curfew, which was extended for the 210th time under Section 31 of the Police Act 1967, was first implemented on July 16, 2014.
Sabah Police Commissioner 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 by sea and those living on land in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone .
