KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 3 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim told the Dewan Rakyat today that Malaysia could be among countries vulnerable to sophisticated cyber attacks, pointing to recent high-profile breaches that have shaken Western nations.
Addressing the House this morning, the Tambun MP said the National Security Council (MKN) and security agencies have been closely monitoring severe digital disruptions abroad, such as portal shutdowns in Europe, critical registry breaches in Denmark, and systemic disruptions in the United States and Japan.
"Do not assume these threats are far removed from us," Anwar said during Prime Minister’s Question Time.
"We are informing the public, which is why the MKN advised yesterday that I make a statement today to remind the Honorable Members and the general public that we must not think this threat is far from us, because what is happening in Europe, America, and Japan has indeed shocked their respective nations."
