Police capable of handling elements of extremism, says Saifuddin Nasution


PUTRAJAYA: Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has given assurances of the Royal Malaysia Police's capability to handle elements of extremism in the country.

He said that the police force can dismantle these extremist groups, no matter the situation.

He spoke to reporters briefly after attending the closing ceremony of the National Security Conference here on Monday (Sept 2).

Earlier in his speech, Saifuddin revealed that some groups in Malaysia still feel justified in fighting the government because they claim that it does not adhere to Islamic principles.

"The Inspector-General of Police provides frequent updates, almost every week, about what is happening on the ground,” he said, reminding participants not to underestimate these elements of extremism such as the Daesh terrorist group, whose members range from university lecturers to housewives and construction workers. - Bernama
