PORT KLANG (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Maritime
Enforcement Agency (MMEA) today received six speedboats that will be used to
enhance enforcement in Selangor waters.
Southern Region MMEA enforcement chief, First Admiral Adon
Sahlan said with the new assets, MMEA could step up patrol duty to ensure more
effective enforcement.
"Four of the speedboats named 'Penggalang' were handed
over by the Customs Department while two other speedboats named 'Pengawal' were
handed over by the Marine Police.
"The speedboats will be utilised and will replace MMEA
boats currently being restored," he told reporters after receiving the
speedboats here.
With the addition, Port Klang MMEA has 11 speed boats used
for monitoring, patrolling and enforcement in Selangor waters.
"With the new assets, we can deploy more speedboats for enforcement unlike before where we had only seven speedboats and three frigates."
Adon said this would enable MMEA to react faster to
complaints or information on criminal activities.
"Our fishermen always complain that Indonesian
enforcement officers encroach Malaysian waters and tow their boats into
Indonesian waters claiming encroachment."
"With more extensive patrolling by MMEA, incidents such
as these can be prevented from recurring," he added.
