Saifuddin Nasution: Tech advances require modern laws to combat crime

In light of rapid technological advancement reshaping the crime landscape, Malaysia's Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail emphasized the need to enhance laws, enforcement capabilities, and strategic cooperation across sectors to ensure public security in both physical and digital realms.

He highlighted the importance of adopting a comprehensive "Whole-of-Government and Whole-of-Nation" approach, engaging government, academia, industry, and international partners.

He also urged the academic community to translate research into actionable policies and solutions.

The Sixth International Cyber Resilience Conference (CRC2026) was recognized for facilitating the intersection of research, policy, and national security needs.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3 — Rapid technological advances have reshaped the crime landscape, underscoring the need to strengthen laws, enforcement capabilities and strategic cooperation to safeguard public security in both the physical and digital worlds.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the increasingly complex challenges required the government and enforcement agencies to adopt a comprehensive approach involving multiple stakeholders.

“For the Home Ministry, these challenges require us to strengthen our laws, enforcement capabilities and strategic cooperation to ensure that the safety of the people continues to be safeguarded, whether in the physical or digital world,” he said in a Facebook post today.

He said the government and enforcement agencies could not face increasingly complex threats alone, but must instead harness the strengths of various sectors through a Whole-of-Government and Whole-of-Nation approach.

“Increasingly complex threats require a Whole-of-Government and Whole-of-Nation approach, bringing together the strengths of the government, enforcement agencies, academia, industry, technology providers and international partners,” he said.

Saifuddin Nasution said the academic community and researchers had an important role in ensuring that security-related research findings were translated into action that benefited the public.

“Research should not end as publications or discussions at conferences. Knowledge and research findings must be translated into policies, strengthen enforcement capabilities and produce solutions to the real security challenges faced by the people,” he said.

Meanwhile, he congratulated the organisers and participants of the Sixth International Cyber Resilience Conference (CRC2026), which he said played an important role in bridging research, policymaking, enforcement and national security needs.

“CRC2026 must therefore serve as a bridge between research and policy, knowledge and enforcement, as well as expertise and the needs of the nation,” he said.

Saifuddin Nasution also challenged academics and researchers to ensure that their findings did not stop at conference discussions, but were translated into policies, action and protective measures that had a tangible impact on the people.
