KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the Territorial Army Commander Conference (SKAW) in Sabah serves as a vital platform to address key security and defence matters.
He expressed support for strengthening the Territorial Army's role as part of the State's security safeguarding, particularly in national borders.
Hajiji noted the conference will discuss administrative and logistical aspects to further empower the Territorial Army.
Given Sabah’s proximity to neighbouring countries, he stressed the importance of maintaining security to protect the State’s peace and public safety.
He made the remarks during a dinner hosted by the State Government in conjunction with the 37th SKAW here on Wednesday.
