KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 8 — The arrests of over 100 individuals suspected of being involved in Daesh militant activities, by the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) so far, proved that the Malaysian government is serious in curbing the increasingly aggressive threats of the militant group.
In fact, Deputy Home Minister Masir Kujat said the government would continue to be committed to fighting the group from spreading its ideology and propaganda in the country.
“At the same time, the people must also be prepared to face any possibilities in this world of uncertainty,” he said when opening the International Fire and Security Exhibition and Conference (IFSEC) Southeast Asia 2016 at the KL Convention Centre here today.
He said Malaysia had also collaborated with the United States through the signing of the agreement on enhancing cooperation in Preventing and Combating Serious Crime (PCSC), which provides for the reciprocal exchange of biometric and biographic data and information for law enforcement purposes.
“The PDRM, led by the Bukit Aman Special Branch Counter Terrorism Division, will also continue strengthening cooperation and sharing information to combat Daesh militants,” he said.
The IFSEC Southeast Asia 2016, which is organised by the United Business Media (UBM), began yesterday.
The event showcases the latest technologies, products and solutions in various categories, including commercial security, fire alarms and protection, data protection, IT and cyber security video surveillance and perimeter protection, from over 350 leading brands from 42 countries. — Bernama
