LAHAD DATU, May 6 (Bernama) -- The Sabah government will continue to intensify security levels in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESS Zone) through the use of advanced technology, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), to ensure the state's stability and economic growth.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said that these intensification measures also involve the modernisation of existing assets, as well as the utilisation of drone and radar technology to ensure more effective surveillance of air and maritime spaces.
"The integration of Big Data analysis will also be expanded to enable security agencies to conduct comprehensive monitoring and provide faster responses to any form of threat," he said in a statement today.
He added that this initiative is in line with the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) 2.0 Roadmap, which emphasises on strengthening security systems not only from a physical perspective but also encompassing aspects of digital defence.
According to the Chief Minister, guaranteed security is a primary prerequisite for building investor confidence, which will directly have a positive impact on the well-being of the people and local economic activities.
Meanwhile, he stated that development within the ESS Zone will be implemented holistically. The government aims to balance defense requirements with social and economic empowerment to ensure the area continues to flourish and grow.
