Task Force switches role after handover

Kota Kinabalu: The special Task Force that was in charge of Sabah’s temporary detention centres will still function although the operations of all four centres have been handed over to the Immigration Department.

She said the special task force for Sabah and Labuan would now focus on matters such as overseeing issues linked to illegal immigrants.
