ADJ: Admiral can you brief us on the establishment and development of the Malaysian Coast Guard so far?rnDG: The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) was the end result of a study undertaken by the Malaysian government in April 1999. The study revealed that enforcement was not effective because too many agencies were involved that resulted in overlapping functions, overlapping jurisdiction, and uneconomical use of resources. The MMEA began with the creation of a Nucleus team, tasked with making the necessary efforts in the establishment of the agency.
