KUALA LUMPUR – Close cooperation between the federal and Sarawak governments is core to the joint efforts in strengthening the security of the state for its people, said Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.

Thus, Hishammuddin said the federal government will continue to increase assets and presence of the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) personnel in the state from time to time.

“On behalf of the federal government, particularly the Defence Ministry, I reiterate my commitment that the movement of ATM assets and personnel (to Sarawak) will continue to be improved over time.

“It includes strengthening security at the border. Thank you, Sarawak premier and state government,” he said in a post on his official Facebook page today after paying a courtesy call on Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.

Meanwhile, according to the Sarawak Public Communications Unit’s official Facebook page, Hishammuddin’s courtesy call on Abang Johari at Wisma Bapa Malaysia was to discuss matters related to mutual cooperation in preserving the security of the state and its people. – Bernama, November 2, 2022
