Cybersecurity is a National Priority, Says PM

PM Anwar Cyber Threats Require a Unified Approach

PETALING JAYA: Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, and Malaysia must work together—across the public and private sectors—to build a safer digital environment, says PM Anwar Anwar Ibrahim. According to his senior press secretary, Tunku Nashrul Abaidah, Anwar chaired the first National Cybersecurity Meeting on Tuesday (March 11), focusing on strengthening the nation’s cyber resilience.

“As cyber risks escalate with greater interconnectivity, Malaysia needs a well-coordinated cybersecurity strategy. The government, businesses, and individuals must all contribute to securing our digital space,” he noted in a Facebook post summarizing the meeting.

Key Developments in Cybersecurity Strategy

During the meeting, officials reviewed Malaysia’s cybersecurity situation, highlighting a reduction in cyber incidents from 2023 to 2024. The Cyber Security Act 2024 (Act 854) remains a key focus, with plans to enhance enforcement through the appointment of a national critical information infrastructure (NCII) chief and cybersecurity professionals. In addition, the government announced a “Cyber Games” competition and an ASEAN cybercrime summit scheduled for May 2025, in collaboration with Nacsa, the Council of Europe, and Interpol.

Strengthening Collaboration and Religious Ties

Tunku Nashrul emphasized the importance of working with local cybersecurity experts to enhance national security measures. On another front, Anwar welcomed a group of religious scholars from Kelantan to the PMO, where discussions focused on strengthening Islamic policies, particularly in education, and fostering unity in addressing religious differences.
