  • Malaysia’s coast guards have 9,000 jobs

    Policing Sabah’s waters is a long and arduous task for Malaysia’s maritime enforcement agency (MMEA), the South-East Asian federation’s version of the coast guards. Sabah, the east Malaysian Borneo island state, has the longest coastline: 1,600km (1,000 miles). The resource-rich state borders the South China Sea in the west, the Sulu Sea in the north-east and the Celebes Sea in the south-east. So, keeping the sea lanes safe is daunting. Now MMEA needs at least 140 more personnel for coastal policing of Sabah, according to its first admiral Taha Ibrahim. Nationwide, it has 9,000 job vacancies.
