"The main objective of this initiative is to ensure that militant threats such as the Islamic State (IS) do not use the Sulu Sea to gain entry into our countries, more so following the Marawi city incident," said Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein after the launch here in Indonesia on Monday.
