Armed Forces seek larger allocation to protect borders, territorial waters

KOTA TINGGI: The Malaysian Armed Forces hopes the government can provide an additional allocation to reinforce the land and maritime boundaries following the opening of national borders from April 1.

Armed Forces chief General Tan Sri Affendi Buang said the entry of illegals into the country was expected to increase following the reopening of the borders, therefore the purchase of high-technology assets could boost surveillance and control for efficiency and effectiveness.
