THE government will continue to improve security levels in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESSZone) as part of protecting the country’s sovereignty, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Annuar Musa.

He said Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has instructed the government to provide more focus on this to ensure the people of Sabah are safe at all times.

“We understand there is news that causes anxiety, so security is something that is very important.

“Communications teams will be required to provide comprehensive coverage on security matters,” he said in Tawau today.

Annuar, who is on the first of a three-day working visit to Sabah, said he will also have the opportunity to witness closely security operations along the coastal areas.

“This Saturday, I will have breakfast with the villagers on Pulau Bum Bum so that we can communicate with the people.

“I would like to obtain feedback on what they are going through in terms of security, in terms of the price of goods, cost of living and communications,” he said.

Annuar said he will also inspect several communication towers on the island as part of the Program Kembara Connecitivity to further improve the quality of broadband access throughout Sabah. – Bernama, September 8, 2022.
