PETALING JAYA: The defence ministry is reviewing procedures for handling sensitive tactical information and monitoring the use of communication systems and technology within the Malaysian Armed Forces following recent media reports alleging the sale of tactical information by military officers.
In a written parliamentary reply, defence minister Khaled Nordin also said his ministry is strengthening bilateral and regional intelligence and military cooperation to assure Asean, especially Thailand and Cambodia, that the reliability and integrity of the country’s armed forces remain intact.
Khaled said his ministry is conducting diplomatic and military engagement sessions with Asean counterparts to “clarify the actual situation” and reaffirm Malaysia’s commitment to safeguarding information security.
