Two workers were abducted despite the tight security cordon thrown around the eastern coastal areas of Sabah.One of them escaped later.
SEMPORNA: Despite the government throwing a tight security net along the eastern coastal areas of Sabah, armed men have struck again. This time a caretaker and a worker of Suluk descent were abducted from a fish farm by two armed men in Kampung Sapang, west of Pulau Timbun Mata here early today.
Chan Sai Chiun, 32, from Perak and a man identified only as Mazlan in his 20s were taken at about 12.40am from the fish cage farm owned by Davel Bay.
Sabah CID chief ACP Omar Mamah confirmed the incident when contacted.
It is the third abduction case in the east coast of Sabah this year. As the boat was speeding off, Mazlan jumped into the sea and swam ashore to make a police report.
The most recent case was reported on May 6 when five gunmen abducted a fish farm manager in Pulau Baik off Lahad Datu. A month earlier, on April 2, seven armed men abducted a Chinese tourist from Shanghai and a Filipino resort worker from Singamata Adventures and Reef Resort. They were later freed.
Following this spate of kidnappings, the government established the Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESSZone) and dispatched additional security personnel to strengthen security in the eastern part of the state.
