  "summary": "Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has warned Malaysia could be among countries vulnerable to sophisticated cyber attacks, as the National Security Council and security agencies have been closely monitoring severe digital disruptions abroad. In a statement during Prime Minister’s Question Time, Anwar emphasized that Malaysia must not think this threat is far from them, citing recent high-profile breaches in Europe, Denmark, the United States, and Japan. To address this concern, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar will chair a meeting with all relevant departments tonight, while Bank Negara Malaysia will hold a special session with all financial institutions in the country. The government is also preparing for a closed-door national security briefing led by the MKN director-general for all MPs in the coming days.",
