SANDAKAN: The Marine Operation Force (MOF) is taking over 25 boats from the General Operations Force (GOF) to beef up patrol in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESSZone).
Bukit Aman MOF commander SAC Mohd Yusoff Mamat said the move to take over the patrol boats was because the assets were not fully utilised by GOF.
“GOF has the boats, but does not have the staff to handle them,” he told reporters after visiting the MOF Sandakan headquarters here last night.
He said the Sabah Region 4 MOF would step up patrol with the approaching Aidilfitri, especially against smuggling and human trafficking. – Bernama
