RANTAU PANJANG: The authorities should consider building fencing and install closed-circuit television (CCTV) along the Kelantan-Thailand border to discourage illegal cross-border activities. "Kelantan is only separated with Thailand by the shallow Golok river and it cannot be denied that smuggling activities are still happpening, but it is under control. "The Thai authority had set up a fence as well as CCTVs at their side of the border area to check on cross-border activities. "Therefore, I believe Kelantan should also be equipped with these things," he told reporters after spending almost an hour visiting the border today. Hasanuddin said the setting up of fencing and the installation of CCTVs should be carried out as soon as possible as it would curb illegal activities.
