PUTRAJAYA: The oversight committee for the Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom) would ensure that cooperation and the sharing of information would run smoothly among the government agencies involved, said the Attorney General Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Patail today.
He said that the Minister in charge of Esscom, along with the oversight committee's chief executive officer, will spearhead the move to make sure that a complete exchange and access of information be made available to safeguard our waters.
"We would also register the illegal immigrants and stateless persons that are placed in resettlement areas, so we would know that they are from that area," he said.
Speaking at a press conference on Esscom, Ghani proceeded to further explain on the new action after the Prime Minister's announcement that Esscom would be enforced starting today.
He said the locals that are resettled would be compensated adequately, and they would not be moved out from their district.
He also emphasised that Esscom will not give extra powers to any particular body,and he explained that it was not a declaration of emergency, rather, it was an exercise of existing powers within the armed forces.
