Kuala lumpur: The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) have successfully arrested 11,864 individuals allegedly linked to 31,949 fraud cases resulting in losses amounting to RM1.5 billion this year.

He also reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to modernising police infrastructure, expanding capacity, and facilitating cross-sector support.

During the dialogue forum, discussions centered on national security challenges, extending beyond physical borders to include data protection, digital sovereignty, and collective cyber awareness. The need for robust inter-agency cooperation to tackle complex cybercrime was emphasized, alongside the JSJK’s pivotal role in fighting commercial crime, which bolsters public confidence.
