Thailand seizes M'sia-subsidised fertiliser over suspected bomb-making
Southern Thailand experienced dozens of attacks, bomb blasts recently.
PASIR PUTEH, Malaysia - Malaysian Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail announced that Malaysia and Thailand will employ existing bilateral mechanisms to investigate claims of bomb-making activities involving fertiliser elements from Malaysia. The Malaysian and Thai police forces will carry out their respective investigations through established channels such as government-to-government engagement, the Border Working Group, and Police-to-Police (P-to-P) cooperation.
Saifuddin emphasized that addressing border-related issues via these established mechanisms would help prevent tensions or mutual suspicion from escalating between the two countries. He highlighted the importance of these mechanisms in light of Malaysia and Thailand's responsibilities towards their respective peoples. The P-to-P cooperation allows enforcement authorities from both nations to regularly communicate and discuss security-related matters.
The Border Working Group serves as another platform for discussing border matters. Additionally, the completion of the RM80.01 million Region Three Marine Police Base in Tok Bali, expected to commence operations in November, will bolster enforcement and maritime security efforts along the East Coast, focusing on combating drug and firearm smuggling, illegal immigrant and refugee landings, and incursions by fishermen.
