KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is safe, assured Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman, especially in the wake of rumours on a possible second wave intrusion bid by the Sulu gunmen at several locations in the state.
“Keep calm as the security forces are doing their level best (to maintain peace), and to date, the situation is under control. They, especially the police, are thoroughly investigating the source of the rumours and its authenticity.
“At the same time, the security forces will not be complacent, and instead strengthen measures to ensure the state is safe,” he told reporters after chairing the Sabah Security Working Council meeting at the Wisma Innoprise, yesterday.
Musa also assured both locals and tourists that they need not be worried, and should continue to support and trust the government’s will to maintain peace and harmony in Sabah.
“In fact, the security measures in the state are improving and this is evident with the significant dropped in the state’s crime index, and we attribute this to the close rapport and cooperation between the police and the people.
“Therefore, I would like to call on everyone to play their part as the ‘eyes and ears’ of the government, and to report on any ill intentions towards the security forces so quick action can be taken to rectify them,” he said.
On another development, the Committee has scrutinised the implementation of strengthening security in the east coast of Sabah through the setting up of the East Sabah Security Command (ESSCOM) on April 1 this year.
