The Ministry
of Interior and Coordination of National Government has announced security
measures to be observed by the members of the public which will assist in
detecting and disrupting any terrorist activities.
In a statement, the Ministry says especially during this festive season, the public must be vigilant when in crowded places like “shopping malls, entertainment spots, restaurants and places of worship, buses and bus stops, airports, railway stations, ferries, drop off points and learning institutions,” which are potential soft targets for criminals.
Those in charge of managing public
places like shops, airports, railway stations and learning institutions have also
been asked to be keen all the time by conducting thorough searches within the
premises.
These includes checking emergency exits
to avoid unauthorized uses, checking all areas like washrooms regularly for
unattended items, assessing emergency preparedness, report any suspicious
activities as well breaking routines to avoid traps.
Members of the public should report
vehicles parked in unauthorized locations, unattended for a long time, newly
painted or emitting funny odour or those with missing or improper number
plates.
