Malaysia's new security chief to tackle illegal immigration

Malaysia has appointed a new head of security, Datuk Salleh Mat Rasid, who fills the newly created role of General Operations Force deputy director Deputy Commissioner of Police. His primary objectives are to control the influx of illegal immigrants and breach of airport security.

His job is to liaise with other enforcement agencies, the army, Immigration Department, the navy, Marine Police and Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency to combat the influx of illegal immigrants.

Enforcement agencies have arrested 2,000 foreigners trying to enter Malaysia illegally in the first three months of this year.

Salleh, who was previously Penang deputy police chief, will set up security guidelines for airports and lead his men in case of terrorist or biological threats to the airports.
