00:00The escalating Israel-Iran conflict adds another layer of complexity.
00:05It has heightened regional instability with ripple effects that could embolden transnational terrorist networks
00:12and deepen sectarian divides far beyond Western Asia.
00:18In an interconnected world, terrorism knows no borders.
00:22Today, we face a new wave of threats from digital radicalization and the weaponization of artificial intelligence
00:32to the use of cryptocurrency for terror financing.
00:36These are not distant possibilities. They are emerging realities.
00:41The digital age has reshaped how we live, communicate and engage.
00:46Yet, with this transformation comes increased vulnerability.
00:51Terrorist groups have adapted swiftly, exploiting the digital terrain to manipulate narratives,
00:59incite violence and recruit with precision.
01:04Extremist content now spreads rapidly online through live stream attacks,
01:10AI-generated propaganda, deepfakes, disinformation and infiltration into gaming communities.
01:18The front line has moved from physical battlegrounds to screens and servers.
01:26As Dr. Audrey Kert-Kronin aptly noted,
01:29today's terrorists are innovators.
01:32They exploit new technologies faster than governments can regulate them.
01:37This calls for more than just reaction.
01:40It demands anticipation, policies that are adaptive, governance that is digital savvy and strategies that are one step ahead.
01:50Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, the threat has also changed in form.
01:55Traditional networks are giving way to lone actors.
01:59Individuals radicalized in isolation, often within their own homes and emboldened by online echo chambers that glorify violence.
02:09The tragic attack in Ulutiram Johor in May 2024, where a radicalized 21-year-old killed two policemen,
02:19reminds us that radicalization can grow silently within households.
02:25The perpetrators' father and family were also found to be deeply indoctrinated,
02:31revealing how extremism today is often hyper-local, digitally driven and sometimes family-embedded.
02:40Such incidents reaffirm that the threat is not only transnational, it is also deeply personal and community-rooted.
02:48Extremism can brew unnoticed, beyond the reach of traditional security mechanisms.
02:55In response, Malaysia is investing in digital literacy, early warning systems and grassroots awareness.
03:04Preventing radicalization must begin not at the edges of society, but at its heart, in our schools, homes and neighborhoods.
03:13While enforcement remains essential, it cannot stand alone.
03:18Equally critical are early intervention, targeted support for at-risk individuals and the cultivation of resilient communities.
03:28Siasat's work, spanning training, research, strategic communication and grassroots outreach,
03:35reflects Malaysia's firm commitment to a people-centered, prevention-first approach.
03:44Through strong inter-agency coordination and multi-stakeholder partnerships,
03:50Malaysia is committed to tackling extremism, not just at its surface, but at its source.
03:57On the regional front, as Chair of ASEAN 2025,
04:01Malaysia leads under the banner of inclusivity and sustainability.
04:05In this complex threat environment, ASEAN must respond not only with one voice,
04:14but with collective urgency and mutual trust.
04:18Radicalization today thrives in digital shadows,
04:22embedded in algorithms, amplified in eco-chambers and hidden behind anonymity.
04:28The real question is not whether these threats exist, but whether we are prepared and united to confront them.
04:37Our strategies must be human-centered, technology-aware and responsive to local realities.
04:46Regional responses must marry empathy with innovation and policy with practical action.
04:52Malaysia is proud to spearhead the ASEAN plan of action to prevent and counter the rise of radicalization
05:00and violent extremism and violent extremism 2023-2032,
05:05a strategy focused on intelligence sharing, capacity building and strategic communication supported by our ASEAN dialogue partners.
05:16On the global stage, Malaysia remains committed to the United Nations' global counter-terrorism strategy,
05:24upholding international law, human rights and humanitarian principles.
05:29We continue to advocate for counter-terrorism responses that are proportionate, inclusive and non-discriminatory.
05:37Let us be clear, terrorism has no religion, no race and no legitimacy.
05:45Any attempt to associate Islam with terrorism is not only factually wrong, it is morally unjustifiable.
05:54Malaysia stands firmly against such misrepresentations.
