  Greetings from MalaysiaSAFE!
   Malaysia’s budget for 2018 was recently announced, with the government
laying out plans to tackle rising living costs and to contain our country’s fiscal
deficit. The proposed budget stands at RM 280.25 billion, with the bulk of it                    Executive Director
allocated for operating expenditure and development. From this, the country’s                      Mior Roslan
security forces will receive a significant funding as the government maintains its           Bin Dato Mior Mohd Jaafar
provision on national security.                                                                HP: +6017-2114492
   Besides announcing that the Armed Forces (ATM) will have an allocation                E: miorroslan@malaysiasafe.com
of RM 14 billion, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) will have nearly RM 9
billion, up from RM 8.7 billion the previous year, and the Malaysian Maritime
Enforcement Agency (MMEA) will have an allocation of RM 900 million. This,                       Editor & Director

   The national budget on improving safety at the borders and for the enhancement          E: ridzuan@malaysiasafe.com
of public order comes timely as just a month earlier, Deputy Home Minister Datuk
Nur Jazlan Mohamed called for authorities to expand the use of CCTVs in public
areas by including facial recognition softwares to boost security. At the moment,
CCTV systems are not widely used and are still recording images in a passive way.             Advertising and Sales
The Home Ministry wants CCTVs placed at all public transportation systems to                E: sales@malaysiasafe.com
have facial recognition facilities and to be linked to police control centres, after
looking at CCTV equipment modules used in Britain, China and Australia.
   However, installing facial recognition CCTVs would require a new law to                     Registered Office:
regulate its use before it can be expanded in the country. This becomes crucial           PM Security Media Sdn Bhd

        Mr. Jimmy Low, General Manager and second-generation owner of the company.
