Shamsul Anuar: Malaysia committed to tackling transnational crime with new Asean action plan
KUALA LUMPUR, May 30 — Malaysia is actively participating in efforts to combat transnational crime, with Deputy Home Minister Datuk Seri Shamsul Anuar Nasarah highlighting the nation's role in developing a new Plan of Action to Combat Transnational Crime (2026–2035) and a Senior Officials Meeting on Transnational Crimes (SOMTC) Work Programme (2026–2028). Shamsul Anuar said the new plan and work programme would guide Asean's response to crime over the next decade. 'Our goal is to make these plans practical and ready for future threats, including cybercrime, human trafficking, migrant smuggling, and terrorism. We want to work closely with partners like Russia and welcome their support and contributions. 'On regional security, Malaysia believes peace depends on strong arms control and following international rules. We support dialogue and trust-building to keep the region safe,' he said at the Asean-Russia Consultations of High Representatives for Security Issues - 13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Matters (13th HROSM) held in Moscow, Russia. The meeting was chaired by the Russian Federation's Minister of Foreign Affairs, S.V. Lavrov. According to Shamsul Anuar, Malaysia is proud of the progress on the Comprehensive Plan of Action for the Asean-Russia Strategic Partnership (2026–2030), which he believes would help both sides work more closely in important areas. 'We support the SOMTC + Russia Work Plan (2025–2028) to fight transnational crimes such as human trafficking, migrant smuggling, and cybercrime. We hope this plan can be finalised soon and officially agreed upon,' he said. He added that Malaysia also stressed the need for better coordination and information sharing between Asean and its partners to handle new security threats, including terrorism, cyber threats, and other transnational crimes. 'The 25th Asean SOMTC will be held in Malaysia from June 23 to 27, 2025. We look forward to welcoming all members and partners, including Russia, to Putrajaya. We are also hosting the 17th SOMTC + Russia Consultation on June 25, 2025, to strengthen our joint efforts against transnational crime. 'Malaysia remains fully committed to working closely with Asean and the Russian Federation to ensure our cooperation stays strong, relevant, and beneficial for all,' he said. — Bernama

Sultan Nazrin opens Larut Matang, Selama NRD office
TAIPING: The Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah, today officially opened the new Larut Matang and Selama District National Registration Department (NRD) office here. Also present were the Raja Permaisuri of Perak, Tuanku Zara Salim, the Raja Muda of Perak, Raja Jaafar Raja Muda Musa, and the Raja Di Hilir of Perak, Raja Iskandar Dzurkarnain Sultan Idris Shah. Their Royal Highnesses were welcomed on arrival at the district office by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad and Deputy Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah. Sultan Nazrin and Tuanku Zara also visited an exhibition on the evolution of the NRD, attended a luncheon, and toured the office building. In his speech, Shamsul Anuar said that the Larut Matang and Selama NRD is one of 20 offices operating in Perak. He said the office is a consolidation of the original office that operated in Wisma Persekutuan Taiping since 1986 and the Kamunting NRD branch office that had been in operation since 2004, with both offices undergoing a rationalisation process before being merged. According to Shamsul Anuar, the new office building, featuring attractive architecture and a corporate image, was built on a 40,468-square metre site to provide better facilities for the public. The RM10.5 million project was funded under the Fourth Rolling Plan of the 11th Malaysia Plan. 'According to a report by the Department of Statistics Malaysia in 2024, the population of the Larut Matang and Selama District has increased by 14 per cent to 313,400 compared to 269,600 in 2020. 'The construction project of the Larut Matang and Selama NRD office began on Sept 2, 2021, and was fully completed on April 22, 2024,' he said. Shamsul Anuar said the Perak Public Works Department handed over the office building to the NRD on May 21 last year, and the office began operations on June 4, 2024. He added that the location is highly strategic due to its proximity to the North-South Expressway and the West Coast Expressway (WCE). 'In 2024, the Larut Matang and Selama District NRD received 69,740 applications compared to only 41,804 in the previous year. 'This 40 per cent increase proves that the NRD's efforts to improve facilities for public convenience are a timely and accurate move in delivering efficient and effective services,' he said. Among the facilities provided at the district office are 93 car parking bays, 25 motorcycle parking bays, disabled-friendly toilets, a surau, a spacious waiting area with 132 seats, and a marriage solemnisation room.
