Army shuts down 129 illegal bases along Sg Golok
The Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) have shut down 129 illegal bases on the Malaysian side of Sungai Golok in Rantau Panjang, Kelantan, which facilitated smuggling activities across the Malaysia-Thailand border.
Malay daily Berita Harian reported that 400 army personnel have been placed along the river, beginning yesterday, to ensure the ruling was not flouted.
The measure was taken after the daily ran an exclusive last week about the existence of such bases, which enabled the smuggling in of contraband, as well as pil kuda (methamphetamine).
Commander of the Eight Brigade, brigadier-general Nazari Abd Hadi said with the security measures in place, all those who wished to cross the border, including those who live along the river, must do so via the official border crossing.
"There are no more reasons for people to cross the river to get to the other side, in the pretext of visiting their relatives or buying vegetables.
"The army has placed 400 personnel who will be monitoring activities along the river and conducting patrols, round the clock," Nazari was quoted saying.
Earlier this month, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi proposed that the residents living along Sungai Golok be resettled to curb drug smuggling activities through illegal bases and private jetties along the river.
Nazari admitted that it would be difficult to stop the residents completely from crossing the river to get to the other side, as they have been doing for decades, if not generations.
"However, the residents seem to listen to our orders. If anyone flouts it, we can hand them to the Immigration Department for further action," he said, adding that out of the 129 known bases along the 90km river, at least 30 to 40 are known to be still active.
Trader Rosiyah Mat Zain, 44, who has been selling items purchased from across the border the past 10 years, told the daily that her livelihood had been badly hit by the new measures.
"I'm well aware that crossing the river is an offence, but for those who grew up along the river, it has become a norm.
"But we have to follow this new ruling to ensure the country's safety. Maybe it is time we started using the immigration, customs and quarantine (ICQ) complex," she said.
