Three espionage-linked arrests made since 2022, Dewan Rakyat told
KUALA LUMPUR: Three arrests related to espionage activities have been recorded in Malaysia since 2022, involving two Chinese nationals and one Malaysian, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail (pic). The Home Minister told the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (Aug 21) that the Malaysian, private investigator Nidarahayu Zainal, was arrested in October 2022 for allegedly working as an informant for Israel's Mossad. She was accused of being paid RM100,000 to abduct two Palestinian men, Omar Albelbaisy and Mohamed Alhadad, in Kuala Lumpur on Sept 28 that year. 'She was charged under Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (Amla) 2001 and Section 3 of the Kidnapping Act 1961. 'She was released on bail of RM50,000 in November, and her trial at the Kuala Lumpur High Court is still ongoing,' Saifuddin added. He said the two Chinese nationals, Li Luorong and Chen Junhao, were arrested on Aug 6 this year after flying drones over restricted areas covering the Defence Ministry (Mindef) and the Police Training Centre (Pulapol). According to Saifuddin, the pair had mapped 14.27sq km and captured more than 6,000 images. 'They were charged under Sections 3(a) and 4(1) of the Official Secrets Act (OSA) 1972 for collecting and possessing official information without authorisation. 'Both are being held at Sungai Buloh Prison, with the case set for mention on Sept 11,' he said. Saifuddin noted that espionage activities in Malaysia were 'not new,' recalling the 1981 arrest of a political secretary to the then deputy prime minister for being a Soviet KGB agent. He said police investigations showed that foreign intelligence agencies often recruited locals to monitor targets and provide logistical support, while others disguised themselves as tourists to justify photographing restricted areas. 'The police, particularly the Special Branch, continue to take proactive measures to counter foreign espionage. 'These include public awareness campaigns, cyber intelligence enhancement, closer monitoring with the Immigration Department, and information-sharing with international partners such as Interpol and Aseanapol,' he said. He added that suspects could face prosecution under multiple laws, including the Official Secrets Act, the Penal Code, the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (Sosma) 2012, Amla, the Immigration Act 1959/63, and the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. 'Malaysia will not compromise when it comes to threats against our sovereignty. Any attempt at espionage will be met with firm legal action,' he stressed.

Spy threat real as Malaysia stands firm on Gaza
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has strong intelligence capabilities to detect espionage activities, which may have emerged due to the country's vocal stance on international issues, including Palestine. "Espionage has its own modus operandi, such as identifying targets, collecting profiling data, studying organisational structures, recruiting insiders, or entering the country under the guise of tourists," Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said. In some cases, insiders are enticed with rewards, recruited through threats, or influenced by ideology, he said. Saifuddin said Malaysia adopts three key measures to counter such threats: prevention, detection, and enforcement. "In terms of enforcement, there was the case of Nidarahayu Zainal, a woman in her 30s with three children, who was recruited by Israeli intelligence to kidnap two Palestinian men on 28 September 2022. "She was apprehended, the men were rescued, and Nidarahayu is now on trial. This case illustrates the modus operandi used by Mossad operatives. "Our intelligence capability is strong and effective in detecting such activities," he said. Saifuddin said Malaysia acts against espionage activities under various laws, including the Official Secrets Act (OSA), the Penal Code, and the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma). He said the threat of espionage should be taken seriously, particularly in light of the current geopolitical climate. Saifuddin said it could be linked to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's firm stance on Gaza, his vocal criticism, and the active presence of numerous NGOs in Malaysia supporting the Palestinian cause. "For this reason, we could easily become a target of Israel," he said. Mossad, Israel's spy agency, was previously linked to the 2018 assassination of Palestinian academic Fadi al-Batsh, 35, who was gunned down on his way to morning prayers in Kuala Lumpur.

Home Ministry: Three high-profile arrests linked to espionage threats against national security since 2020
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 — Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said a total of three high-profile arrests were made between 2020 and 2025, amid concerns over foreign espionage and interference that may threaten national security. He said the arrests of two Chinese nationals and one Malaysian citizen were related to cases of kidnapping and unauthorised surveillance that posed a potential threat to national security. 'The ministry, through the police, will continue to implement strategic preventive measures to address espionage threats,' he told the Dewan Rakyat during the Ministerial Question Time session here. '[This includes] monitoring, inter-agency cooperation, and international intelligence sharing, to ensure the country's sovereignty and interests are always protected, while appropriate legal action will be taken against any intelligence agents found guilty.' Saifuddin said the first arrest involved Malaysian private investigator Nidarahayu Zainal, who was allegedly hired by Israel's Mossad intelligence agency for RM100,000 to kidnap two Palestinian men. Her trial is currently ongoing at the Kuala Lumpur High Court under Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2001 and Section 3 of the Kidnapping Act 1961. He then said the other two arrests involved Chinese nationals Li Luorong and Chen Junhao, who were detained on August 6, 2025 after operating drones in a restricted area near the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) on Jalan Padang Tembak, Kuala Lumpur. He explained that authorities alleged that the pair mapped an area of 14.27 square kilometres and captured 6,161 images covering sensitive locations including Bukit Dinding, Mindef, and the Police Training Centre (Pulapol). 'They were charged under Section 3(a) of the Official Secrets Act 1972 for obtaining and collecting official information in a prohibited area, and Section 4(1) for possessing such information without authorisation. 'Both individuals are currently held at Sungai Buloh Prison, and the case will return to court on September 11, 2025 for submission of documents,' he added. He was responding to a question from Lubok Antu MP Roy Angau Gingkoi who asked about the preventive and intervention measures taken by the ministry to address elements of espionage that occur and could threaten national security. Saifuddin said the police, especially the Special Branch, are taking steps such as monitoring, cyber intelligence, investment screening, and public awareness to counter foreign threats, while stressing the government's commitment to bolstering surveillance and working with local and international partners to secure sensitive areas.
