BALING, June 8 — Malaysia has not drawn flak for arresting foreign nationals involved with international terrorist activities in the country, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Instead, Malaysia has been praised for the decisive actions taken to protect the safety of its people and the world, he said.

The Royal Malaysian Police (RMP), especially the Special Branch, does not tolerate criminal activities committed by any triads or militant organisations that can be detrimental to Malaysia’s security.

“I assure you the police and the Special Branch will strictly instil the responsibility to combat crime and local violence and curb infiltration by foreign militants who have made Malaysia their base,” he told reporters during his visit to the Baling district police headquarters here, today. — Bernama
