tanduo prof kTHURSDAY, 05 MARCH – Curfew in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESSZone) is the right action as

one of the efforts to prevent another incident in 2013, Tanduo invasion, from recurring.

countries, since the surveillance now is more thorough and effective especially during the curfew time.

“After the curfew was introduced, the national security team are able to control our territories and
borders and also successfully controlling smuggling activities, illegal immigrant and even another
invasion attempt,” he said while interviewed by TV3 journalist in remembrance of the bloody incident, two years ago.

years, ensuring no invasion happen again,” he said. Prof. Kamarulzaman was also involved in the
peace process between the Philippines Government and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
