The Malaysian Border Security Agency Act 2017, formulated to streamline control and action against illegal activities at the country’s land borders, will come into force on December 29. The Home Ministry, in a statement today, said that the date of enforcement was set by Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi, in accordance with subsection 1(2) of the Malaysian Border Security Agency Act 2017. Also known as Act 799, it provides for the setting up of a special agency known as the Malaysian Border Security Agency, AKSEM, which is responsible for curbing smuggling or other illegal activities along the country’s land borders. The act expanded the functions of AKSEM to implement control at the land borders, including in Sabah and Sarawak. These functions also enable AKSEM to carry out operations to stamp out illegal activities up to the country’s land boundary line.
