Bukit Kayu Hitam MCBA commander targeted in border shooting attack

Bukit Kayu Hitam MCBA commander targeted in border shooting attack

Post by : Shakul

The vehicle carrying SAC Mohd Nasaruddin Mohd Nasir, commander of the Malaysian Control and Border Protection Agency (MCBA) in Bukit Kayu Hitam, was fired upon early on February 25, 2026, near the Malaysia-Thailand border.

According to Datuk Adzli Abu Shah, the commander was unharmed during the incident, which occurred at about 5:40 AM, roughly one kilometre from the frontier, while he was driving to Subuh prayers at Masjid Al Muhajirin.

Two men dressed in black on a motorcycle, both wearing full-face helmets, approached the car and fired two shots, hitting the rear right door and the front passenger door. The commander pursued the suspects for about one kilometre before they escaped into a nearby industrial area.

The commander then reported the attack to the ICQS Complex police station. Authorities are investigating from all angles, including the possibility of retaliation by criminal syndicates after numerous successful seizures this year, including 100 tonnes of rice and pork.

Several smugglers and migrants in the area have also been detained, and the case is being investigated under Section 3 of the Firearms (Increased Penalties) Act 1971 for discharging a firearm with intent to cause death or injury, despite no injuries being reported.
