Border control agency says inter-agency cooperation key to curbing illegal cross-border activities in Kelantan

Kelantan's border control requires enhanced cooperation among enforcement agencies to manage both authorised and illegal entry routes effectively.

There are five authorised entry points in Kelantan under AKPS jurisdiction, while non-gazetted areas are managed by various other agencies.

Continuous monitoring and cooperation between land and maritime agencies are crucial to address new illegal routes and increased sea-based cross-border activities.

PASIR MAS, Oct 17 — Enforcement agencies must strengthen cooperation to ensue more comprehensive border control in Kelantan, especially in curbing cross-border activities through illegal routes.

Rantau Panjang Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) commander Siti Khadijah Hamzah said it oversees five authorised entry points in Kelantan, while other enforcement agencies are responsible for areas that have not been gazetted, in accordance with their respective jurisdictions.

The five entry points are Pengkalan Kubor in Tumpat, Rantau Panjang in Pasir Mas, Bukit Bunga in Tanah Merah, Pelabuhan Tok Bali in Pasir Puteh and Sultan Ismail Petra Airport in Kota Bharu.

“AKPS only has jurisdiction on authorised entry points, while non-gazetted areas fall under the control of other enforcement agencies, including the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), General Operations Force (GOF), Malaysian Army (MAF) and Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency,” she told Bernama at the Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security Complex in Rantau Panjang here recently.

Siti Khadijah said coordination between agencies was crucial to ensuring effective border control, especially in areas with illegal routes.

She said one of the main challenges was the emergence of new routes after existing illegal bases had been shut down, thus the need for continuous monitoring by the relevant agencies.

She added that cross-border activities had also evolved, with movements increasingly shifting to sea routes.

As such, cooperation between land-based and maritime security and enforcement agencies is crucial to curbing cross-border movements through illegal routes and safeguarding the security of Kelantan’s borders. — Bernama

吉兰丹的边境管控需要加强执法机构之间的合作，以有效管理合法和非法入境途径。

吉兰丹有五个由 AKPS 管辖的授权入境点，而未列入政府公报的区域则由其他各种机构管理。

陆地和海洋机构之间的持续监测与合作对于应对新的非法路线和日益增多的海上跨境活动至关重要。

巴西马斯，10月17日讯——执法机构必须加强合作，以确保吉兰丹州边境管控更加全面，尤其是在遏制通过非法路线进行的跨境活动方面。

兰道班让边境管制和保护机构（AKPS）指挥官西蒂·卡迪嘉·哈姆扎表示，该机构负责监管吉兰丹州的五个授权入境点，而其他执法机构则根据各自的管辖范围负责尚未公布的地区。

这五个入境点分别是道北的Pengkalan Kubor、巴西马的Rantau Panjang、丹那美拉的Bukit Bunga、巴西布地的Pelabuhan Tok Bali和哥打巴鲁的苏丹依斯迈佩特拉机场。

“AKPS仅对授权入境点拥有管辖权，而未列入公告的区域则由其他执法机构控制，包括马来西亚皇家警察（PDRM）、一般行动部队（GOF）、马来西亚陆军（MAF）和马来西亚海事执法机构，”她最近在兰道班让的移民、海关、检疫和安全综合大楼告诉马新社。

Siti Khadijah表示，各机构之间的协调对于确保有效的边境管控至关重要，尤其是在存在非法通道的地区。

她表示，主要挑战之一是现有非法基地被关闭后出现了新的路线，因此相关机构需要持续监控。

她补充说，跨境活动也发生了变化，人员流动越来越多地转移到海上路线。

因此，陆基和海上安全执法机构之间的合作对于遏制非法跨境流动和维护吉兰丹州边境安全至关重要。——马新社
