Security in east Sabah top priority- Hisammuddin



 

KUALA LUMPUR: Ensuring that the East Sabah Security Command (Esscomm) and the Eastern Sabah Safety Zone (Esszone) proceed smoothly will be Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein's first order of business.

"It is what we have promised the people of Sabah whereby Esscomm and Esszone needs to be in operation.
"It is something the Defence Ministry and Home Ministry, particularly me and Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, have understood from very early on.

"So that is something that I will personally give focus on," he told reporters on his first day at Wisma Pertahanan on Wednesday.

Hishammuddin said the welfare of officers serving in Esscomm and Esszone would also be priority.
He added that he was honoured to have been chosen to lead the Ministry, adding that he hoped plenty of initiatives would be implemented under his tenure.

He and his deputy, Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri, were given a welcoming ceremony by the 1st Batallion of the Royal Malay Regiment Ceremonial.
