MACC detains six cops over RM12,000 bribery in Pahang
KUANTAN: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Pahang has detained six police officers for seven days over allegations of soliciting and accepting bribes worth RM12,000. The bribes were reportedly taken to avoid legal action in a ketum juice possession case. Magistrate Khamisah Ismail approved the remand order until August 6 after the MACC filed its application at the Temerloh Magistrate's Court. Sources revealed that the suspects, aged between 30 and 50, were arrested at around 9 pm yesterday after appearing at the MACC's Temerloh branch to provide statements. 'The case originated when the officers arrested five individuals in Temerloh in May for suspected ketum juice possession. One of the suspects allegedly received the bribe in cash through a middleman,' a source said. Pahang MACC director Mohd Shukor Mahmud confirmed the arrests, stating that the case is being probed under Section 17(a) of the MACC Act 2009. - Bernama

13MP: Malaysia Targets Ninth Spot On Global Peace Index By 2030
To achieve this goal, the document outlines four key strategies: enhancing public security and order, safeguarding national sovereignty, improving the well-being of security personnel, and strengthening the management and rehabilitation of criminal offenders. According to the 13MP (2026–2030) document released by the Ministry of Economy today, Malaysia had already reached 13th place on the GPI in 2025, up from 19th place in 2023, positioning the country among the safest in the region. KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 (Bernama) -- The government has set a target to place Malaysia in the ninth position on the Global Peace Index (GPI) by 2030, as outlined in the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP). 'The role of the National Scam Response Centre as a one-stop centre will be enhanced to address online financial scams more effectively. Crisis management will also be improved through updated policies, enhanced standard operating procedures, and capacity-building via joint training by security agencies and better asset management,' the document states. Under the strategy to enhance public security and order, efforts include strengthening strategic collaboration among various enforcement agencies, implementing education programmes, advocacy initiatives, and public awareness campaigns on crime risks, as well as improving cybercrime protection measures. Under the strategy of safeguarding national sovereignty, border control will be intensified by strengthening security posts in the northern Peninsular region, Sabah and Sarawak and by ensuring the full operation of the Border Control and Protection Agency at the country's entry points. 'Immigration processes will be improved through the use of artificial intelligence (AI), while the roles of all enforcement agencies will be streamlined to enhance effectiveness in combating smuggling, human trafficking and maritime security threats,' the document states. It also notes that the defence industry ecosystem will continue to be developed, driven by the National Defence Industry Policy, to promote the creation of ''Made by Malaysia" defence products and enhance the country's competitiveness and self-reliance in the sector. Illegal immigrant control will also be strengthened, including through increased enforcement operations, deportations, and widespread use of monitoring technologies, while the existing integrated immigration system will continue to be enhanced. Under the strategy to improve the well-being of security personnel, the government will provide better housing, healthcare and social support for both serving and retired personnel. -- MORE 13MP-SECURITY 3 KUALA LUMPUR According to the document, the guidelines for government quarters will be reviewed to reduce the cost per unit without compromising quality or quantity. Vacant quarters from other public services will also be offered to security personnel to optimise resources. 'In addition, the One Member One House programme will be expanded to increase homeownership opportunities, including allocating 15 per cent of the housing quota to retired military personnel. Social support programmes will also be improved to ensure the welfare of veterans and their families, including skills training under TVET, entrepreneurship and modern agriculture.' In terms of criminal offender management and rehabilitation, initiatives will focus on instilling spiritual values, human development aspects and giving inmates a second chance to reintegrate into society. To support this, the government will upgrade basic infrastructure by building new prisons and modernising existing facilities. It will also expand the use of alternative sentencing, such as community service and community-based rehabilitation programmes, supported by modern technology like electronic monitoring devices. 'Immigration detention depots will be upgraded to reduce overcrowding. Deportation programmes for undocumented migrants will be intensified to cut operating costs. Drug and substance abuse issues will be addressed through improved prevention, treatment and rehabilitation programmes, as well as enforcement. -- MORE 13MP-SECURITY 4 (LAST) KUALA LUMPUR 'The rehabilitation support system for addicts will also be strengthened to provide a meaningful chance for full recovery, enabling them to return and contribute positively to society,' the document adds. Meanwhile, under the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), efforts to bolster national security and defence focused on strengthening legislation, modernising assets, and enhancing preparedness and welfare of security personnel. 'The Malaysia Border Control and Protection Agency Act 2024 has been passed to establish the agency as the sole enforcement body at national entry points. 'To enhance border security, RM1.2 billion has been allocated to various agencies to implement programmes and projects in border areas. This includes the procurement of strategic assets such as Light Combat Aircraft, Unmanned Aerial Systems, Maritime Patrol Aircraft and Littoral Mission Ships, which have been or are being implemented,' the document states. -- BERNAMA TAGS: 13MP, security, defence, border, GPI, crime index MFMS NAM BYY BERNAMA provides up-to-date authentic and comprehensive news and information which are disseminated via BERNAMA Wires; BERNAMA TV on Astro 502, unifi TV 631 and MYTV 121 channels and BERNAMA Radio on FM93.9 (Klang Valley), FM107.5 (Johor Bahru), FM107.9 (Kota Kinabalu) and FM100.9 (Kuching) frequencies.
