ASEAN SOMTC focuses on combating 10 cross-border crimes
KUALA LUMPUR: The 25th ASEAN Senior Officials Meeting on Transnational Crime (SOMTC) concluded in Putrajaya after five days of intensive discussions aimed at combating 10 major cross-border crimes affecting the region. The meeting, hosted by Malaysia as the ASEAN Chair, focused on terrorism, cybercrime, human trafficking, drug smuggling, wildlife and timber trafficking, and money laundering. Mohamad Azlan Razali, secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN) International Division, highlighted Malaysia's key role in shaping short-term and long-term action plans to strengthen regional crime-fighting efforts. 'The SOMTC platform allows us to move collectively and coordinate actions at regional and domestic levels,' Mohamad Azlan said during an appearance on Bernama TV's 'ASEAN: From Kuala Lumpur to the World' programme. He emphasised the importance of partnerships with dialogue countries like the US and China in knowledge and technology transfer. The meeting, which began on June 23, included senior officials from all ASEAN member states, observer country Timor-Leste, and representatives from 10 dialogue partners, including the US, China, the UK, and Australia. One key challenge discussed was the differing legal frameworks among ASEAN nations, particularly in handling crimes like drug trafficking. To address this, a long-term initiative involves publishing a legal handbook to serve as a common reference for member countries. 'Through this handbook, each member country can review their legislation to better combat cross-border crimes,' Mohamad Azlan explained. The SOMTC also facilitates strategic information sharing among ASEAN nations to dismantle transnational crime syndicates more effectively. For instance, close cooperation between Malaysian police and neighbouring countries has helped rescue citizens trapped in scam call centres abroad.

Anwar: Only positive reforms can safeguard nation's future
Anwar says the leaders and institutions need to commit to meaningful change to reverse societal decline and instil values rooted in justice and integrity. – Bernama photo KUALA LUMPUR (June 26): Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today reiterated that only positive reforms can ensure the nation's social stability, economic resilience and good governance. Delivering the keynote address at the Asean Symposium 2025 here today, Anwar said the leaders and institutions need to commit to meaningful change to reverse societal decline and instil values rooted in justice and integrity. 'For the growth, we use it for the benefit of our society and mankind. We are grounded with idealism, therefore strong values and ethics. But one, two, three generations passed, and then we find this degradation of ethical values and principles. 'We have lost that idealism. Those in power, we want to emerge well. Those elites, for whatever reasons, either support one side or are obsessed with a particular value or interest, disregarding the totality and the complexity of the economy,' he said. The one-day symposium themed 'Anchoring Asean's Future in Shared Wisdom: Empowering Communities for an Inclusive and Sustainable Civilisation' gathered policymakers, civil society leaders, academics and youth representatives from across the Asean region to deliberate on building a shared, inclusive future for the region. Also present were Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar and Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia (IKIM) deputy chairman Prof Emeritus Datuk Dr Mohd Yusof Othman. Anwar said that positive reforms must begin with moral clarity and political will, particularly in tackling corruption and strengthening institutions. He said that while Malaysia remains a multiracial and multireligious society, with Islam as the religion of the Federation and Muslims forming around 60 per cent of the population, a shared understanding and mutual respect among all communities is critical. Prime Minister also emphasised that economic empowerment remains fundamental, and all necessary efforts must be taken to drive growth and development, including attracting domestic and foreign direct investments. However, he said, while economic growth and attracting investments are important, they do not represent the whole picture. 'Economic empowerment is for a cause. That is why we talk about cultural empowerment,' he said. – Bernama
