State police chief says they can act only if Thai authorities provide information on the claim about the men who killed five Thai security personnel recently.
State police chief Yusoff Mamat said there has also been no intelligence gathered by the various police agencies in Kelantan to confirm such an allegation, Bernama reported.
He said monitoring by the Special Branch of the Kelantan police contingent headquarters, and all district police headquarters in the state have not detected any movement of the suspects entering Malaysia.
“Every time there is a shooting incident or bomb explosion in southern Thailand, there are often allegations that the suspects fled to Malaysia. However, until now, no evidence has been presented to us to support that claim.
“If they truly have information, pass it on to us so that immediate action can be taken,” he was quoted as saying after a meeting with the Kelantan state education department in Kota Bharu today.
According to Yusoff, since his move to Kelantan in October 2024, he has focussed on efforts to close illegal routes along the border to curb cross-border activities involving smuggling, crime, and the entry of wanted individuals.
He said that with enhanced control, the allegation that crime suspects can easily escape to Malaysia should no longer arise.
“I welcome the Thai government’s plan to build a security fence approximately 90km-long along the border area because this effort can strengthen control in both countries.
“In fact, Malaysia has also approved the construction of walls and security fences in border areas with an allocation of RM3.04 billion, which is currently in the implementation process and is expected to be completed by 2029,” he said. - FMT
