US travel advisory unwarranted – IGP
KUNAK: The United States government’s decision decision to include Malaysia in the “K” indicator list of its travel advisory is unwarranted, as security in this country is under control, said Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun.
He said Malaysia should be taken off the list as the country has always given serious attention on security.
He said Malaysia was also always in a ready state to face any eventuality and worked with other security agencies to control security.
Fuzi said the increasing number of tourists to the east coast of Sabah was also contrary to the travel advisory which could affect the people’s confidence, including tourists, to visit our country, especially the tourism centre at the east coast of Sabah.
Fuzi, when met during his working visit to the Kunak police headquarters yesterday, also disclosed that continuous discussions and monitoring as well as operations were being carried out to track down any remaining individual(s) linked to terrorism in the state.
He said the police were always in control of security to restrict entry and ensured this country would not become the transit destination for terrorist groups.
“Security, especially in this state, is under control following the operations and efforts undertaken by the security forces,” he added.
During his visit, Fuzi was accompanied by Sabah police commissioner Datuk Omar Mammah.
