SANDAKAN, June 27 — Cooperation between the Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM) and Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCom) can further strengthen the country’s security, especially in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESSZone), said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Special Functions) Datuk Seri Mohd Redzuan Yusof.
