KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s ongoing dusk-to-dawn sea curfew on the east coast has been extended for another two weeks until Feb 4.
Sabah police commissioner Datuk Idris Abdullah said the extension of the 6pm to 6am sea curfew was needed due to continuous threats from cross-border criminals, including from 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," he said in a statement Thursday .
