Dr Mahathir Mohamad says if the nation continues to manage the seas in fragments, the overlapping of jurisdictions and conflict of interest between the sectors will never be resolved.
LANGKAWI: Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today the government recognises the need for an ocean governance regime for Malaysia.
The prime minister drove home the point that it was high time for all maritime-related agencies to collaborate and consolidate necessary work processes, and this could be achieved through greater understanding, trust and open communication. The prime minister said a well-coordinated approach was needed to overcome challenges associated with enforcement activities which, in turn, could only be effective with sound intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capability.
“Apart from the usual threats like maritime boundary disputes, our maritime security is also greatly challenged by non-traditional threats, such as illegal trafficking of both goods and humans, illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing , piracy, terrorism, threats to the marine ecosystem such as climate change and global warming, and pollution from shipping activities and land-based pollution,” he said.
