  Piracy in South China Sea-Sabah Coastal waters and its impact on security

  Piracy-including boarding, hijacking, detentions and robberies-remains a hidden but very real problem in many areas of the world. Estimates of the cost of piracy and maritime fraud range as high as 16 billion a year. Maritime piracy continues to proliferate worldwide. The estimated odds of attack are one in one thousand worldwide. In 1997, 229 attacks were reported. 1996 saw 228 attacks. Over 400 crewmembers were taken as hostages. Many worldwide average of reported incidents against fishing vessels accounts for only six percent of the total.
  
  Modern-day pirates using small fast craft have become more prevalent, bolder in their actions and use heavier weapons now than they did a decade ago. They are no longer just using small arms and knives and indulging in petty thefts. In some of the last documented attacks they used machine guns and grenades in hijacking vessels with their cargo. The pirates are sometimes grouping their resources and are being aided by powerful syndicates. Problems continue to be particularly significant in Southeast Asian waters. This paper will narrow down the scope to see the piracy problem in Sabah coastal and finding ways to control or curb if possible eradicate the problem.
