No evidence Thai shooting suspects fled across border, say Kelantan cops
State police chief says they can act only if Thai authorities provide information on the claim about the men who killed five Thai security personnel recently.
Kelantan police chief Yusoff Mamat refutes claims that suspects in a recent Thai shooting incident fled to Malaysia. Mamat asserts no evidence has been presented to support this allegation. He says monitoring by Kelantan police has detected no movement of suspects entering Malaysia. Mamat urges authorities to share any such information to enable prompt action.
Since his appointment in Kelantan in October 2024, Mamat has focused on closing illegal border routes to curb smuggling, crime, and the entry of wanted individuals. He believes enhanced border control will make it harder for crime suspects to escape to Malaysia. Mamat welcomes Thailand's plan to build a 90km-long security fence along the border, noting Malaysia has allocated RM3.04 billion for similar construction projects. These measures are expected to be completed by 2029.
