: The move to rebrand the dusk-to-dawn curfew in eastern Sabah waters, to the Eastern Sabah Safety Zone Movement Control Order , and to reduce the areas placed under the list, shows that the level of security is getting stronger.
“I also believe that the media can play a role in creating confidence in stakeholders that the ESSZone is safe to be visited, because it is rich in natural treasures. If tourists come in droves, of course, they will come back with investments. Following the move, the ESSZone MCO now only involves the waters of three nautical miles in the districts of Sandakan, Semporna, Kunak, Lahad Datu, Beluran and Kinabatangan, from 6 pm to 6 am, effective Oct 17.
“However, we must continue this effort by joining forces with the community, as well as domestic and foreign intelligence, to curb this activity and then we can study other areas and then remove them from the MCO,” he said. He said that in his village as well as other villages, such as Kampung Tinagat and Kampung Membalua, the residents conduct security patrols every night, especially on the coast, involving the neighbourhood watch, the Voluntary Patrol Scheme and members of the People Volunteers Corps .
The Felda Umas Fishing Village Association chairman, Abd Syukur Otoh, on the other hand, wants the security forces to continue intensifying control and patrols, even though the curfew in Tawau waters has ended, because things like the infiltration of foreign immigrants and smuggling need to be addressed without compromise.
