Southeast Brigade Commander of the General Operations Force in Malaysia, SAC Ahmad Radzi Hussain, has confirmed that there have been no reported attempts by militants or guerrillas from Southern Thailand to cross into Kelantan following last night's coordinated bombings and violent attacks across three southern Thai provinces. Border security along the Malaysia-Thailand frontier is being tightened as a precaution, with front-line personnel on high alert for any potential infiltration attempts.
The Regional Border Committee (RBC), a bilateral platform for intelligence-sharing and coordination, is scheduled to meet in Hat Yai, Thailand, on September 1-3 to further strengthen security collaboration between Malaysia and Thailand. Malaysians are advised to remain cautious and postpone non-essential travel to Thailand until the situation stabilises.
