Overview
- Police have stationed General Operations Force units and state contingents at 36 hotspot stations and 55 other risk sites near land borders using shift-based patrols.
- Officers focus on the busiest periods at petrol stations, and stations that run 24 hours face continuous checks.
- The push is part of an integrated effort with the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry, whose officers are already posted at high-risk stations.
- In Kedah, police identified 12 high-risk stations near the Thai border and assigned about 30 personnel to patrol them under Ops Tiris Bersepadu 4.0.
- Station workers report fewer big top-ups before border crossings as tighter checks and a lower Budi95 quota dampen opportunistic buying, and officials are weighing audits of retailers within 50 km of the frontier.
