SANDAKAN: Efforts and coordination by the enforcement and security forces in the Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCom) should continue to be intensified in regulating the east coast of the state.

Sabah Chief Minister Tan Sri Musa Aman said this was to ensure the peace, security and sovereignty of the people and state were safeguarded.

“We cannot be complacent or satisfied with the current situation but instead need to be ready in the security aspects to face any eventualities,” he said when officiating at the ‘Semarak Rakyat Bersama ESSCom-Sabah Tanah Airku’ programme here yesterday.

Also present was ESSCom Commander Datuk Hazani Ghazali.

He said security was a very important aspect and was always given priority by the government, scrutinised and dealt with by the government and people.

Hence, he said the cooperation, solid support and understanding between the enforcement and security forces needed to be strengthened from time to time.

On the programme, Musa, who is also ESSCom Advisory Board chairman, said it gave the opportunity to ESSCom to reach out to the people and to create awareness of the responsibility of safeguarding the areas involved. — Bernama
