Security forces, including the RMAF, are constantly mobilised to keep Sabah's eastern borders safe from threats, he told reporters after meeting Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom) officials at its headquarters here on Friday. "Our fighter jets and other assets are always in the area in a show of force. "It is a clear message that what happened in Lahad Datu (the 2013 Tanduo intrusion by the Royal Sulu Force) will not happen again. "The coordination is there but there is room for improvement," he said, adding that the tasking of assets to ensure security in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone (Esszone) was a massive undertaking. Hishammuddin also lamented that certain Opposition politicians were taking up populist calls like "Sabah for Sabahans" and more oil royalty to gain support in the coming polls.
