13MP: Security Sector, Pillar Of National Stability And Progress
KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 (Bernama) -- The allocation of RM51 billion to the security sector under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) proves the government's commitment to making security the main pillar of the country's stability and progress, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. He said the large fund would drive various important initiatives including the modernisation of security operations and improving the welfare of frontline personnel. "With the allocation of RM51 billion to the security sector, this is a clear signal that the government recognises security as a pillar of the country's stability and progress," he said in a statement today. He also expressed appreciation for the government's serious emphasis on the welfare of security personnel, including the provision of quarters for them, involving more than 82,000 units in various phases of construction and renovation. "The provision of 1,368 new Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) quarters and 3,088 Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) quarters has been completed, plus another 8,501 units are being built and 69,141 existing quarters are being renovated, which is a meaningful step in safeguarding the well-being of personnel and their families," he said. He said the ongoing efforts in the 13MP to improve infrastructure, facilities and support for security personnel are very welcome and deserve to be praised because they pave the way for the excellent performance of the personnel. "We cannot expect our security forces to serve efficiently and dedicatedly if their basic needs such as comfortable housing, a conducive environment and social need are neglected," he said. Saifuddin Nasution said the ministry also welcomed the government's efforts to modernise the country's immigration system through the National Integrated Immigration System and the use of advanced technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) which is deemed timely in facing current security challenges. "This approach enables the national security forces to function efficiently, responsively and strategically in addressing current challenges as well as increasing the effectiveness of security control at land and maritime borders, especially in facing geopolitical tensions and regional security issues such as in the South China Sea," he said.

MP13: RM51bil allocation underscores security as pillar of stability: Saifuddin
PETALING JAYA: The RM51 billion allocation for the security sector under the 13th Malaysia Plan (MP13) reflects the government's recognition of security as a key pillar of national stability and progress, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. In a Facebook post today, he lauded the 13th Malaysia Plan (MP13) as a comprehensive and people-focused blueprint that balances economic growth with social justice, integrity and inclusivity. 'The theme, 'Redefining Development,' reflects the Madani government's commitment to ensuring that no one is left behind while strengthening national security and safeguarding the welfare of frontline personnel. 'The RM51 billion allocation for the security sector shows the government recognises security as a pillar of stability and progress,' he said, welcoming initiatives such as modernising the immigration system through the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe) and adopting advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (Ai). Saifuddin also commended the government's focus on the welfare of security personnel, citing the completion of 1,368 new police quarters and 3,088 military quarters, the construction of another 8,501 units, and the rehabilitation of 69,141 existing quarters. He stressed that improving infrastructure, facilities and living conditions is crucial to supporting the police, the Malaysian Armed Forces and other frontline agencies. 'The ministry will fully support the implementation of MP13 to strengthen domestic security, uphold the rule of law, and ensure a peaceful life for all Malaysians,' he added.

RM51bil defence, security allocation in 13MP show of recognition, says Saifuddin
KUALA LUMPUR: The RM51bil allocation for the defence and security sectors in the 13th Malaysian Plan (13MP) signals the government's recognition of security as a key pillar of national stability and growth, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. The Home Minister said strengthening the operational, logistical, and technological capacities of security forces is vital in an increasingly complex world, with rising transborder threats, smuggling, cybercrime, human trafficking, and extremism. "The modernisation of Malaysia's immigration system via the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe) and the adoption of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence is timely. "It will certainly enhance security at the nation's borders and entry points," he said in a social media post on Thursday (July 31). He also praised the government's commitment to the welfare of frontliners, particularly members of the police, the Armed Forces, and other security personnel. 'The completion of 1,368 new police quarters and 3,088 quarters for the Armed Forces, along with an additional 8,501 under construction and repairs to 69,141 existing units, shows that the government understands the importance of dignified living conditions for our security forces,' he said. Saifuddin stressed that expecting high performance from security forces is unrealistic without addressing their fundamental needs, such as comfortable housing, conducive environments, and social security. 'In today's world, a nation's strength isn't just measured by weapons or numbers; it lies in our ability to build a supportive ecosystem for our forces, from training and logistics to welfare," he added. He also reaffirmed the ministry's full support for the implementation of 13MP, vowing to ensure that all security-related initiatives are carried out efficiently. 'Our mission remains clear: to strengthen domestic security, uphold the rule of law, and protect the peaceful life of every Malaysian,' he said. He hoped that the noble goals of 13MP would yield lasting results, not just in economic figures but in real, tangible peace, harmony, and unity for the nation. Saifuddin expressed his appreciation and congratulations to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for tabling the 13MP, describing it as a comprehensive and forward-looking blueprint that aligns with the real needs of the people and the country. 'This is more than just another economic plan. The 13MP redefines growth by embedding values of humanity, social justice, and integrity in governance, along with inclusive progress. "It reflects a government that is not merely planning for growth, but also for dignity and fairness,' he said.

13MP: Malaysia boosts defence, security with AI
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia will enhance the capabilities of its defence and security assets, as well as personnel capacity, under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) through the adoption of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI). The government aims to build a future-ready, integrated and agile security force to safeguard national stability and prosperity in the face of evolving threats. 'As part of this strategy, land and maritime border control will continue to be reinforced to combat cross-border crimes and illegal activities,' Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said in Parliament. 'Special emphasis will also be placed on strengthening preparedness to respond to sovereignty and security threats in the South China Sea.' He added that immigration processes will be modernised through the rollout of a more efficient National Integrated Immigration System, aimed at improving public service delivery and national security coordination. At the domestic level, Anwar said public safety remains a core concern, with drug abuse identified as a serious societal threat and the root cause of at least 28 other crimes, including theft and violent offences. To tackle the issue, the government will implement a more holistic and integrated strategy combining enforcement, rehabilitation and prevention. This will involve close coordination between enforcement agencies, treatment institutions and civil society stakeholders. 'These reforms signal our determination to not only protect the nation's borders and sovereignty but also strengthen public order and safety at all levels of society,' he said.
