Effectiveness of Anti-Terrorism Legislation in Malaysia
Malaysia has been largely spared from any major terrorism incidence since the signing of peace accord with the Malayan Communist Party. However, after the terrorist attack on World Trade Centre and Pentagon in the United States on September 11, 2001, Malaysia is facing growing threats from regional terrorist groups, the most notable is Jemaah Islamiah (JI). The effectiveness of anti-terrorism efforts in Malaysia is dependent on cross-agencies cooperation as well as international cooperation in terms of intelligence sharing and training in handling the threats of terrorism.

Famous quotes containing the words effectiveness of and/or legislation:
“The effectiveness of our memory banks is determined not by the total number of facts we take in, but the number we wish to reject.”
—Jon Wynne-Tyson (b. 1924)
“No legislation can suppress nature; all life rushes to reproduction; our procreative faculties are matured early, while passion is strong, and judgment and self-restraint weak. We cannot alter this, but we can alter what is conventional. We can refuse to brand an act of nature as a crime, and to impute to vice what is due to ignorance.”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
