Perlis police and the General Operations Force have intensified border security and intelligence gathering at entry points following a series of bomb explosions in southern Thailand’s Satun, Yala, and Songkhla provinces.
KANGAR: District police chiefs and the General Operations Force (GOF) have been directed to step up security and intelligence-gathering along the Perlis border, particularly at the country’s main entry points, following a bomb explosion in Thailand’s Satun province.
Perlis police chief DCP Hamzah Hashim said the police took the incident in southern Thailand seriously and remained vigilant, given that the province shared a border with Perlis.
“Cooperation and information-sharing with the Thai authorities have also been strengthened to detect and address any potential threats at an early stage,” he said in a statement today.
