Uh, not exactly. From “Malaysia safe from extreme terrorist acts, says report”, The Star, 23 Aug 2011:
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia has not suffered any serious incident of terrorism in recent years, thanks to effective law enforcement efforts and close counter-terrorism cooperation with the United States and the international community, a global report on terrorism says.
Is this sort of cooperation also forthcoming from cozy Malaysian allies Saudi Arabia and Iran?
“The Royal Malaysian Police cooperated closely with the international community on counter-terrorism efforts and its officers received training in a range of counter-terrorism skills,” the report released by the US State Department said.
The report stated that the police special task force on operations and counter-terrorism had detained 15 suspected terrorists under the Internal Security Act (ISA) last year.
However, the Country Reports on Terrorism 2010 stated that Malaysia had been used as a transit and planning site for terrorists and remained vulnerable to potential terrorist activities as a result of weak border controls and gaps in maritime security.
With a foreign policy that seems downright friendly towards Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and other various thugs for Allah, it’s no wonder there are such ‘weak controls’ as well as ‘gaps in security’. And speaking of planning sites, it’s pertinent to point out that a certain attack on New York and Washington almost exactly ten years ago was planned in Malaysia’s capital of Kuala Lumpur.
Now, what kind of terrorists are we talking about here?
