Kuala Lumpur:The Home Ministry is set to enhance its assets, technology, and enforcement capabilities while prioritizing the welfare of security personnel through allocations in the 2027 Budget, which will be tabled tomorrow.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail emphasized that this commitment builds on the measures from the 2026 Budget and actions undertaken during the year. The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency's air capabilities have been improved with new helicopters, and its maritime fleet has been enhanced through the KM Bendahara and the development of the Multi-Purpose Mission Ship.

For the Royal Malaysia Police, the use of Body-Worn Cameras has been expanded to thousands of frontline personnel to enhance professionalism and enforcement integrity, providing protection for officers and the public. Additionally, drone technology and artificial intelligence are being used alongside body cameras to strengthen national border control.

Addressing the welfare of security personnel, Saifuddin Nasution mentioned that construction, repair, and upgrading of police quarters and workplace facilities have been carried out. New operational facilities are being planned with personnel well-being in focus, such as the new Marine Police Force headquarters, which will include operational infrastructure and welfare facilities.

He also noted that the review of allowance rates for People's Volunteer Corps members is being considered to adjust them to more reasonable levels, recognizing their service and efforts. The ministry anticipates further initiatives under the MADANI Government in the 2027 Budget to sustain efforts in strengthening national security amidst evolving challenges.
