INFORMATION ON PIRATES, SABAH FOLKS TOLD SEMPORNA, Sabah, May 6 (Bernama) -- A Sabah Minister Saturday urged the
people particularly islanders to report straight to the police any activity that can
endanger safety and security.
Such information was vital to enable the security forces to ward off any threat in the
state's coastal waters, State Rural and Entrepreneur Development Minister Datuk Nasir Tun
Sakaran said.
"Our security forces are indeed trained and ever vigilant to any form of threat
including pirate attacks," he said when launching the Maal Hirjah celebrations at
Semporna District level here.
Nasir said the Pulau Sipadan kidnap incident was a lesson to all and hence the people
should cooperate with the security forces to prevent such incidents.
On April 23, a group of gunmen kidnapped 21 people including 11 foreigners from Pulau
Sipadan.
Nasir also appealed to the families of the kidnap victims to be patient and hoped all the
people now being held captives would be freed.
Nasir, who is the assemblyman for Senallang, urged Muslims to change their old outlook to
keep up with the times and challenges of the new millennium.
