He said they are also helping to enhance safety and security at quarantine centres, apart from securing the frontliners fighting the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We also constantly carry out patrols and inspections on palm oil mills and estates to ensure these places are not operating during the MCO period,” he said here.
Mancha said the Tiger Platoon has also been dispatched to closely monitor “rat trails” which could be used by illegal foreigners to enter the State, especially in Keningau and Kalabakan, Tawau.
He assured that despite having deployed a large number of personnel for the MCO, the GOF is still at its best ability in enforcing operations against any security threat and cross-border crime.
