SEMPORNA: The Marine Operations Force (MOF) thwarted an attempt by illegals to sneak into the country after stopping a pump boat in the waters of Salakan near here, yesterday.

Sabah MOF Region Four commander ACP Mohamad Madun said a Semporna MOF patrol

stopped the boat, with five passengers, aged between eight and 41, who did not have valid identification documents, at 8.10am.

The illegals comprised two men and three women and, based on the language they used, the MOF believed they had stayed in Semporna before, he said in a statement today.

They were all handed over to the Malaysian Immigration Department for further action, he added. — BERNAMA
