KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s ongoing dusk-to-dawn curfew in its coastal areas which ends on Thursday (Jan 5) has been extended to Jan 20.
The curfew, which was extended for the 202nd time under Section 31 of the Police Act 1967, was implemented on July 16, 2014.
Sabah Police Commissioner Comm Datuk Idris Abdullah said the curfew covers areas up to three nautical miles off Sandakan, Beluran, Kinabatangan, Lahad Datu, Kunak, Semporna, and Tawau. He added the curfew was required to ensure criminals from the southern part of The Philippines did not intrude into Malaysian waters to threaten the safety of international researchers or 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 in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone .
