Steps That Have Been Taken by Malaysia
To Combat Terrorism
Since the tragedy of September 11 occurs in 2001, the world has view terrorism as the biggest threat that must be seriously tackled. Every grouping in this world has been discussing about this matter. Malaysia as a single country also views the threat of terrorism as very grave. Therefore, there are several steps that have been taken by Malaysia to combat terrorism in the country.
Starting in the year of 2001, Malaysia has presenting a new version of its identification card. It was officially launched on 5 September 2001. It incorporates microchip which contains several items of data. It also has the same dimension as a credit card. Therefore, it is highly safe for the use of its citizen. The card is difficult to been duplicated by other people. The Government of Malaysia can always keep track of its citizen because the terrorist cannot duplicate the card.
The other step that has been taken is the registration of prepaid mobile SIM cards. It is often reported in the media that the terrorist always use handphone as the remote control for the suicide bombings. The usage of prepaid mobile phones make it harder to detect the activist because prepaid customer do not have to register to the respective provider, like the postpaid customer. Hence, the government has make it a rule for all the prepaid customers to register their account with their respective service provider.
Malaysian government also has launches the usage of biometric passport since 1998. A biometric passport is a combined paper and electronic identity document that uses biometrics to authenticate the citizenship of travelers. The passport's critical information is stored on a tiny RFID computer chip, much like information stored on smartcards. Like some smartcards, the passport book design calls for an embedded contactless chip that is able to hold digital signature data to ensure the integrity of the passport and the biometric data. So, the terrorism can be controlled within the Malaysian citizen.
Terrorism is such a big issue that has to be tackle today so it will not cause any major catastrophe similar to that of September 11 tragedy. Although we can take many approaches, however we must also stress the importance to identify the root of terrorism. Last but not least, combating terrorism before it gain its momentum is more effective than combating it after it is already a virus in the community, as people’s saying: cure is better that treat.
