PUTRAJAYA, Jan 1 — Malaysia does not take
issues of terrorism lightly and has been intensifying efforts to curb the
threat of terrorist groups even though the authorities had to face various
challenges, said Home Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
He said the success and effectiveness in
addressing such issues were evident when the intelligence of the Royal Malaysia
Police (PDRM) managed to intercept and detain terrorists before any untoward
attacks.
“This is an achievement even though it is
handled by Intelligence Malaysia, using laws such as the Security Offences
(Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma), the Prevention of Crime Act (Poca) 1959
and the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2015 (Pota).
“I think this is effective even though we
will take further steps by adding amendments and bringing it to the Parliament
soon,” he told Bernama.
Muhyiddin said Malaysia looks seriously on
terrorism elements such as Daesh or other groups found trying to use Malaysia
as a base.
“We do not take this lightly and so far,
what Intelligence Malaysia has done to stop them has been successful,” he said.
