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)
“Strictly speaking, one cannot legislate love, but what one can do is legislate fairness and justice. If legislation does not prohibit our living side by side, sooner or later your child will fall on the pavement and I’ll be the one to pick her up. Or one of my children will not be able to get into the house and you’ll have to say, “Stop here until your mom comes here.” Legislation affords us the chance to see if we might love each other.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
