RAUB, Nov 1 — Malaysia’s 12th-place ranking among 163 countries in the 2026 Global Peace Index (GPI) reflects the country’s ongoing efforts to maintain safety and security, particularly through the work of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), said Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
He said the ranking reflected a secure environment that allowed Malaysians to go about their daily lives in peace and comfort, without undue concern over security threats.
“To maintain this achievement, the government has also established the Independent Police Conduct Commission (IPCC) to further improve the quality of police services.
Our target is to move Malaysia up from 12th to ninth place, with the aim of achieving an even better ranking in the future,” he said at the IPCC’s Santuni Madani programme in Kampung Kela here today.
