A total of 24 Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) personnel were dismissed for corruption between January 2023 and October 2025, Deputy Home Minister Datuk Seri Shamsul Anuar Nasarah announced in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday.
The dismissals comprised eight officers in 2023, four in 2024, and 12 so far in 2025, reflecting the government’s commitment to a zero-tolerance policy on corruption.
Shamsul Anuar highlighted that 41 PDRM officers received “Reject Corruption” recognition certificates during PDRM Integrity Day 2025 on November 12, demonstrating that many personnel continue to uphold high standards of integrity and discipline.
He added that the government is developing a system to detect, prevent, and monitor corruption risks across all departments. Through the Corruption Risk Management (CRM) and Corruption Risk Assessment (CRA) frameworks, 43 corruption risks have been identified, with 170 control measures implemented as part of action plans under the PDRM corruption prevention system.
On border control, Shamsul Anuar noted that the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) now oversees 22 entry points, consolidating 6,218 staff from six agencies under a single administration. These agencies include the Immigration Department, Malaysian Quarantine and Inspection Services, Road Transport Department, Department of Wildlife Protection and National Parks (Perhilitan), Ministry of Health, and the Royal Malaysian Customs Department.
He also clarified that there is no need to amend the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010 or the Arms Act 1960 to permit People’s Volunteer Corps (Rela) members to use firearms. Any request for Rela involvement in operations must go through Perhilitan and PDRM, in line with existing legal provisions.
Following the debate, the Dewan Rakyat approved the Home Ministry’s estimated operating and development expenditure of RM21.18 billion for Budget 2026 by a majority voice vote.
