The plan will be launched next month to bolster current patrols by Malaysian security forces, Shahidan was quoted as saying by the national news agency, Bernama, and the New Straits Times newspaper on its website.

In August, 131 Thai Muslims illegally crossed the border into a northeastern Malaysian state, Kelantan, claiming they felt threatened by the Thai military's crackdown on Islamic insurgents.
