Malaysia’s marine police nab 2,707, record 7,627 cases in national waters this year

The Marine Police Force arrested 2,707 individuals in 7,627 cases in national waters during the first nine months of the year, seizing goods worth RM525 million.

The highest recorded offences were under the Fisheries Act 1985, followed by the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and the Control of Supplies Act 1961.

Effective cooperation with regional agencies enhances enforcement, and PPM plans to improve capabilities with new projects under the Malaysia Plan.

PORT KLANG, Oct 1 — The Marine Police Force (PPM) arrested 2,707 individuals in 7,627 criminal cases in the country’s waters during the first nine months of this year.

Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order Department (JKDNKA) director Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri said that the success was the result of continuous enforcement through various operations such as Op Taring Gelora, Op Taring Landai, and inter or intra-agency operations.

“From January to September, the team recorded seizures and fines worth RM525 million with the arrest of 2,707 people for various offences.

“The highest offences among them involve the Fisheries Act 1985 with 3,214 cases, the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 (428), the Control of Supplies Control Act 1961 (295), the Immigration Act 1959/63 and the ATIPSOM Act 2007 (213), as well as the Customs Act 1967 (189 cases),” he said at a press conference after officiating the 79th Anniversary celebration of the PPM at the Region One PPM Operations headquarters, Pulau Indah here today.

Mohd Yusri said that the success was also the result of effective bilateral cooperation and patrol coordination with regional enforcement agencies such as Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines.

Commenting on the issue of illegal immigrant smuggling, he said that irresponsible parties use various modus operandi to infiltrate the country.

“They are targeting international waters by transferring illegal immigrants to another boat before making a ‘drop point’ to Malaysia, with the focus areas including waters around Perak, Selangor Johor, and the northern part of the Peninsula,” he said.

Meanwhile, Mohd Yusri said that PPM as a whole now has 22 projects under the Malaysia Plan (11MP to 13MP) worth RM1.064 billion.

“For future strategic planning, it involves the application of 19 proposed projects worth RM2.28 billion, including the construction of several operational bases for the team.

“PPM will also receive two aircraft carriers and five Fast Patrol Crafts, each worth RM100 million, to further strengthen the unit’s capability in ensuring the safety of the country’s waters,” he said.

Earlier at the event, Mohd Yusri presented the PPM 2026 Hero Award to Sub Inspector (B) Jakarta Makling, 72, in recognition of his contributions and sacrifices throughout his service in the force.

Jakarta, when met, expressed deep emotion over the award that was introduced for the first time since he joined the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) on May 28, 1972.

“In June 1976, while serving as a patrol boat crew member, I was involved in a battle with a group of armed pirates in the waters of Lahad Datu, Sabah, and was shot in the left shoulder.

“The bullet still remains in my shoulder to this day and serves as a testament to my sacrifice in carrying out my duty to protect the safety of the nation’s waters,” said the grandfather of 13 from Semporna, Sabah. — Bernama

今年前九个月，马来西亚海事警察部队在国家水域共逮捕了 2707 人，涉及 7627 起案件，并查获了价值 5.25 亿令吉的货物。

记录在案的违法行为最多的是违反 1985 年《渔业法》的，其次是违反 1952 年《危险药物法》的，再次是违反 1961 年《供应管制法》的。

与区域机构进行有效合作可以加强执法，PPM计划通过马来西亚计划下的新项目来提高能力。

巴生港，10 月 1 日讯——今年前九个月，菲律宾海警部队 (PPM) 在该国水域共逮捕了 2707 人，涉及 7627 起刑事案件。

武吉阿曼内部安全与公共秩序部（JKDNKA）总监拿督斯里莫哈末尤斯里哈山巴斯里表示，这一成功是通过各种行动（例如Op Taring Gelora、Op Taring Landai以及机构间或内部行动）持续执法的结果。

“从1月到9月，该团队查获并罚款总额达5.25亿令吉，并逮捕了2707名涉嫌各种罪行的人员。

“其中，违反《1985年渔业法令》的案件最多，达3214起；其次是违反《1952年危险药物法令》（428起）、《1961年物资管制法令》（295起）、《1959/63年移民法令》和《2007年ATIPSOM法令》（213起），以及违反《1967年海关法令》（189起）。”他今天在位于此地Pulau Indah的第一区PPM行动总部主持PPM成立79周年庆典后举行的新闻发布会上说道。

莫哈末·尤斯里表示，此次成功也得益于与泰国、印度尼西亚、新加坡和菲律宾等区域执法机构的有效双边合作和巡逻协调。

在谈到非法移民走私问题时，他表示，不负责任的分子利用各种手段渗透到该国。

他说：“他们的目标是国际水域，将非法移民转移到另一艘船上，然后再将他们作为‘投放点’送往马来西亚，重点区域包括霹雳州、雪兰莪州、柔佛州和马来半岛北部附近的水域。”

与此同时，莫哈末·尤斯里表示，PPM目前在马来西亚计划（11MP至13MP）下共有22个项目，总价值达10.64亿令吉。

“未来战略规划涉及19个拟议项目，总价值22.8亿令吉，其中包括为该团队建造几个作战基地。

“PPM还将接收两艘航空母舰和五艘快速巡逻艇，每艘价值1亿令吉，以进一步加强该部队在确保国家水域安全方面的能力，”他说。

在活动早些时候，莫哈末·尤斯里向 72 岁的副警长（B）雅加达·马克林颁发了 2026 年 PPM 英雄奖，以表彰他在警队服役期间所作出的贡献和牺牲。

雅加达在接受采访时，对自 1972 年 5 月 28 日加入马来西亚皇家警察 (PDRM) 以来首次设立的这项奖项表达了深深的激动之情。

“1976 年 6 月，我作为巡逻艇船员在沙巴州拉哈达图水域与一群武装海盗发生战斗，左肩中弹。

“至今我的肩膀里还留着那颗子弹，它见证了我为保护国家水域安全而履行职责所作出的牺牲，”这位来自沙巴州仙本那、育有13个孙辈的祖父说道。——马新社
