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.

“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)
“But the wise know that foolish legislation is a rope of sand, which perishes in the twisting; that the State must follow, and not lead the character and progress of the citizen; the strongest usurper is quickly got rid of; and they only who build on Ideas, build for eternity; and that the form of government which prevails, is the expression of what cultivation exists in the population which permits it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
