From Free Malaysia Today (Feb 28): 12 boats from US for Sabah security command
Contribution being made under agreements during Obama's visit to Malaysia.
SANDAKAN: The Eastern Sabah Security Command is getting 12 boats from the United States of America to boost its asset strength.
Defence Deputy Minister Abdul Rahim Bakri said the contribution followed a number of agreements signed between Malaysia and the US last year.
The agreements was signed during US President Barack Obama’s visit to the country, he told reporters after visiting the Pulau Berhala army camp near here.
He said the boats were currently being modified according to Esscom’s specifications.
Abdul Rahim, who is also Kudat member of parliament, said a proposal to build an army camp in Kudat, under the 11th Malaysia Plan, is also being considered.
“Hopefully, we can secure an allocation for it, and further reinforce Esscom’s defence,” he said.
