37 nabbed sneaking across Kelantan-Thai border post-Aidiladha
KOTA BARU: Thirty-seven people have been arrested for crossing into Malaysia via illegal routes along the Kelantan-Thai border during a two-week period beginning from the recent Aidiladha celebration. Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said the majority of those detained were Malaysians, apprehended by personnel from the General Operations Force (GOF) under Op Taring Wawasan Kelantan. "We have recorded 30 cases involving individuals entering the state through illegal jetties along the border between June 7 and today," he said at a press conference. "Most of them crossed the Golok River, particularly in the Rantau Panjang area." In response to the rise in such cases, Mohd Yusoff said border personnel had been instructed to adopt a stricter stance. "I have directed all personnel stationed at the border to take firm action against those breaking the law. "There will no longer be any warnings — anyone caught using ungazetted routes to cross the border will be arrested," he said. He said that police had identified several routes frequently used for illegal crossings. "We will soon deploy plainclothes personnel to monitor these areas," he added. On a related matter, Mohd Yusoff assured that the border remained secure despite recent unrest in southern Thailand. "So far, the border is under control. Enforcement agencies, including the Marine Police, continue to conduct regular patrols in the area. "We have not received any intelligence from our counterparts across the border regarding the entry of any suspicious people into Kelantan," he added.
