BANTING, April 17 — The National Security Council in collaboration with Universiti Teknologi Mara is developing the National Security Index — a comprehensive benchmark for the effectiveness of policies, strategies and the implementation of security management in the country.
MKN director-general Datuk Rodzi Md Saad said the council aimed to introduce the index by the end of the year. He said the IKK would be a guide and benchmark for foreign countries to decide on investing or holding any programmes in the country. “In Malaysia, we are always unable to answer specifically , what we have is the ‘Global Peace Index’. It is prepared by another country. Sometimes we disagree with the rating they give us. We also don’t know what variables they use.
“So when the United States releases an index, and our index is low, it causes some countries to impose travel restrictions . This is detrimental to us,” he told Bernama after the groundbreaking ceremony for the As-Solihin Orphanage and Asnaf Hostel in Kanchong Darat, here, today.Meanwhile, Rodzi said the council would be introducing the ‘MKN Volunteers’ in June to make the community-based security management concept a success.
