This course featured a blend of presentations, interactive discussions, and practical exercises. The program aimed to enhance the capabilities of Malaysian law enforcement and intelligence personnel in areas such as intelligence gathering, threat assessment, and addressing CBRNe threats. The course equipped participants with insights into terrorism concepts and legal frameworks as well as enhancing understanding of terrorism-related issues and challenges in Malaysia. It also provided an opportunity for participants from various agencies to network and foster collaboration in the fight against terrorism and violent extremism in Malaysia.
The program began with an official opening ceremony, followed by sessions focusing on terrorism threats and the current situation in Malaysia.
Expert speakers from the Malaysian Defense Intelligence Organisation (MDIO) and the Special Branch (E8) of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) provided valuable insights.
