He expresses disappointment over inclusion of M'sia in list of countries with kidnapping risks, calls it baseless. 

The travel advisory issued by the US, with Malaysia in the ‘K’ list of countries with risks of kidnapping and hostage-taking, should be withdrawn, said Inspector-General of Police Mohamad Fuzi Harun.“In terms of security control, Malaysia is always serious and prepared to face any possibilities.

“At the moment, we are focusing on the east coast of Sabah and the Royal Malaysia Police are working closely with other security agencies,” he told reporters after a working visit to the Kunak police headquarters in Sabah today.Mohamad Fuzi said the travel advisory issued by the US did not match the number of tourist arrivals to Malaysia, including to the Eastern Sabah Security Zone , which had increased from time to time.

“The travel advisory somehow affects public confidence, including of foreign tourists, to come to Malaysia, especially the coastal areas,” he added. Meanwhile, he said the Malaysian police were actively monitoring the encroachment of Foreign Terrorist Fighters into the country, following Daesh militants’ plan to make Sabah a transit point before going into the southern Philippines.

However, the situation is under control so far as continuous operations are being conducted, he said,“We know they want to make Sabah their transit to the southern Philippines, but we will not allow that to happen,” he added.

We are ALL very angry and indignant that Pastor Koh, Amri and one or two others are kidnapped. But for the US to declare an advisory? Just like our Malaysian gov saying it is easy to get shot by gunman on US soil.

In fact, PDRM's crimes against humanity may be the reason number one why America has issued the travel advisory on Malaysia.
