PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia's second-place ranking in global passport strength reflects international confidence in the stability, security, and integrity of the country's systems.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the achievement brings tangible benefits to Malaysians by expanding international travel access and opening up broader opportunities in education, careers, business, and investment.

"Under the Madani Economy framework, among the country's key focuses is to raise the country's growth ceiling by expanding its international reach, strengthening its diplomatic standing, and enhancing Malaysia's competitiveness on the world stage," he said in a Facebook post today.

Saifuddin Nasution said strong, credible, and trusted systems were essential to keep global opportunities wide open for Malaysians.
