KOTA BARU: The strict discipline of the Senoi Praaq will be an asset when they are deployed to help man the Kelantan-Thai border beginning Dec 1.
About 100 members are part of the northern battalion of the General Operations Force.
State police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said two battalions are based in Bidor and Pangkalan Hulu, both in Perak.
He added that the battalions will help GOF personnel to patrol the border, including illegal jetties.
He said the inspector-general of police had approved their deployment, and they are expected to report for duty on Dec 1.
He added that the available forces are insufficient to monitor the 96km-long border.
