LAHAD DATU: The rakyat’s cooperation is important in ensuring that security control in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESSZone) remains at the optimum level, says Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Hajiji Noor.
He said the responsibility of maintaining security should not be left entirely up to the security forces.
“This matter (rakyat’s cooperation) needs to be emphasised.in terms of combating criminal activities, especially cross-border crime and also controlling other illegal activities, including (entry) of illegal immigrants.
“Since the Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCom) was established (on April 1, 2013), security has been maintained, although there have been some cross-border crimes, it is under control,“ he told reporters after visiting the ESSCom area here, today.
