“Integrated operations involving the security forces and maritime will continue, especially at all entry points in Sandakan, Semporna and Tawau,” he said.
He however noted that in the first eight months this year, Sabah’s crime index showed a decrease of 510 cases or 11.21 per cent from 4,550 cases recorded between January and August 2011, to 4,040 cases during the same period this year.
