00:07The Global Anti-Scam Alliance estimates that scammers steal more than 1 trillion U.S. dollars from people every year.
00:16And that is nearly 2 million U.S. dollars stolen every minute, every hour, every day.
00:22In the United States, the FBI's latest Internet Crime Report records more than 16 billion U.S. dollars in losses
00:33in a single year.
00:35And that is about 70 billion U.S. dollars in Malaysia.
00:38And it counts only the victims who came forward.
00:42Investment scams were the largest single category.
00:46UNODC reports that scam operations in Southeast Asia alone bring in tens of billions of dollars a year.
00:55And some estimates put the total global cost of cybercrime above 10 trillion U.S. dollars a year.
01:03Bigger than the economies of Japan and Germany combined.
01:07In 2025, Malaysia recorded 66,204 cybercrime cases.
01:15With losses of 2.97 billion U.S. dollars.
01:20In 2024, it was 35,368 cases and 1.5 billion U.S. dollars.
01:30Cases and losses have nearly doubled in one year.
01:34Our children are at risk.
01:36An estimated 100,000 children face online sexual exploitation or abuse every year.
01:43CSAM cases rose from 68 in 2024 to 152 in 2025.
01:51Another 100 cases were recorded by mid-2026.
01:56Criminals also exploited people across borders.
02:01As of 28 August 2026, 746 Malaysians have fallen victim to fake overseas job offers.
02:09Through OkPintas Haas, PDRM or Royal Malaysian Police rescued 138 victims of forced labor in 77 raids nationwide.
02:20Behind every one of these numbers is a person.
02:23A citizen who has lost her savings.
02:26A family deceived by a scam.
02:29A worker trapped by a syndicate.
02:31A child whose dignity was stolen.
02:35Cybercrime is not just a technology issue.
02:37It is a security issue.
02:39It is a law enforcement issue.
02:41And for KDN, it is our duty to protect the people.
02:45At the National Scam Response Centre, Royal Malaysian Police works with partners to freeze and return stolen money.
02:53Between January and July 2026, 5.16 million was returned to victims.
02:5965% of the 7.94 million cease.
03:04Returning money to victims is justice they can feel.
03:08Our laws must also keep pace.
03:10In July 2026, Parliament passed the Cybercrime Bill.
03:15It replaces the Computer Crimes Act 1997.
03:19A law written nearly 30 years ago.
03:23The new law is technology neutral.
03:26It targets the crime, not the device.
03:29So when criminals find new tools, our law stays strong.
03:41The new law is very waterproof for our technologyspeaker Bill.
03:46We have an application in this process through statements that we need to take over.
03:46We need to use into honest resources allowed to take over.
