Home minister: 24-hour border watch, jetty demolitions to curb cross-border crime in Kelantan

Police are monitoring Kelantan's borders continuously to combat cross-border crime, as directed by Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

Saifuddin Nasution emphasised that tackling cross-border crime involves organised networks and requires cooperation beyond just police efforts.

The Home Minister stated police are finalising investigation papers for an incident involving the Malaysian Border Control and improvements were requested by the Attorney General's Chambers.

MACHANG, Oct 17 — Police are maintaining round-the-clock surveillance along all border routes in Kelantan to curb cross-border crime, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

He said the directive had been issued to Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat to ensure continuous physical surveillance along the border.

“Among the measures taken are the demolition of illegal jetties and enforcement of the law against individuals crossing the border without valid documents,” he told a press conference after attending the launch ceremony for the 2026 Home Ministry’s Kampung Angkat Madani and Sekolah Angkat Madani initiatives here today.

However, he said enforcement measures might not completely eliminate cross-border crime, as it involves organised criminal networks that had been operating for a long time.

Therefore, Saifuddin Nasution said efforts to curb such activities required the cooperation of all parties and could not rely solely on the Home Ministry and the police.

Meanwhile, when asked to comment on the case involving an incident concerning Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) director-general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1, he said police were completing several aspects of the investigation papers after the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) requested improvements before a further decision could be made.

Saifuddin Nasution said the investigation papers had been submitted to the AGC within a week of the incident.

He said the AGC subsequently asked police to complete several aspects of the investigation to ensure that the information and evidence gathered were sufficient for further consideration.

He said the investigation papers included witness statements and information gathered throughout the investigation.

The AGC could return the investigation papers to police for further completion if additional information was required before a decision was made, he added.

Previously, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail was reported as saying that the investigation was being conducted by the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department under Section 323 of the Penal Code, which deals with voluntarily causing hurt to another person.

Mohd Khalid said statements had been recorded from 25 witnesses so far to assist in the investigation into the incident, which occurred on September 28.

The media had earlier reported that Mohd Shuhaily had left it to the government to decide on any action that might be taken against him following a viral video showing him reprimanding an individual at KLIA Terminal 1.

Mohd Shuhaily said the matter had been brought to the attention of the country’s top leadership and the Home Ministry, and that he was prepared to accept any decision on the issue. — Bernama

根据内政部长拿督斯里赛夫丁纳苏蒂安伊斯梅尔的指示，警方正在持续监控吉兰丹边境，以打击跨境犯罪。

赛夫丁·纳苏蒂安强调，打击跨境犯罪涉及有组织的犯罪网络，需要的不仅仅是警方的努力，还需要各方合作。

内政部长表示，警方正在完成一起涉及马来西亚边境管制部门的事件的调查文件，总检察署已要求进行改进。

马昌，10 月 17 日——内政部长拿督斯里赛夫丁纳苏蒂安伊斯梅尔 (Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail) 表示，警方正在吉兰丹所有边境路线进行全天候监视，以遏制跨境犯罪。

他说，已向吉兰丹州警察总长拿督莫哈末·尤索夫·马末下达指令，确保沿边境进行持续的实地监视。

“采取的措施包括拆除非法码头，以及对无有效证件越境者依法进行处罚，”他在今天出席内政部2026年“Kampung Angkat Madani”和“Sekolah Angkat Madani”计划启动仪式后举行的新闻发布会上表示。

但他表示，执法措施可能无法完全消除跨境犯罪，因为这涉及到长期运作的有组织犯罪网络。

因此，赛夫丁·纳苏蒂安表示，遏制此类活动的努力需要各方合作，不能仅仅依靠内政部和警方。

与此同时，当被问及涉及马来西亚边境管制和保护机构（AKPS）总监拿督斯里莫哈末·舒海利·莫哈末·扎因在吉隆坡国际机场（KLIA）1号航站楼发生的事件时，他表示，在总检察署（AGC）要求改进后，警方正在完成调查文件的几个方面，之后才能做出进一步的决定。

赛夫丁·纳苏蒂安表示，调查报告已在事件发生后一周内提交给总检察署。

他说，总检察署随后要求警方完成调查的几个方面，以确保收集到的信息和证据足以供进一步考虑。

他说，调查文件包括证人证词和整个调查过程中收集的信息。

他补充说，如果需要更多信息才能做出决定，总检察署可以将调查文件退回警方进行进一步完善。

此前有报道称，警察总长丹斯里莫哈末·卡立·伊斯梅尔表示，武吉阿曼刑事调查部正在根据《刑法》第323条进行调查，该条文涉及故意伤害他人。

莫哈末·哈立德表示，目前已记录了 25 名证人的证词，以协助调查 9 月 28 日发生的这起事件。

媒体此前报道称，在一段疯传的视频中，莫哈末·舒海利在吉隆坡国际机场 1 号航站楼训斥了一名男子，之后他表示，是否对他采取任何行动，将由政府决定。

莫哈末·舒海利表示，此事已提交国家最高领导层和内政部审议，他准备接受任何相关决定。——马新社
