  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3 — As technology continues to advance rapidly, the nature of crime is transforming, highlighting the necessity to enhance laws, enforcement mechanisms, and strategic collaboration to maintain public safety in both the physical and digital realms, stated Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. In a Facebook post, the Home Minister emphasized that tackling these complex challenges necessitates a comprehensive strategy involving multiple stakeholders. The Home Ministry must bolster its laws, enforcement capacities, and cooperation to ensure the continual protection of the public, whether in the physical or digital domains. The minister stressed that the government and enforcement agencies cannot confront the growing threats alone; instead, they must utilize the strengths of diverse sectors through a Whole-of-Government and Whole-of-Nation approach. This approach would involve collaboration among the government, law enforcement agencies, academia, industry, technology providers, and international partners. Saifuddin Nasution underscored the crucial role of the academic community and researchers in translating security-related research findings into actionable policies that benefit the public. He cautioned that research should not conclude with publications or conference discussions; instead, knowledge and findings must be converted into policies, reinforced enforcement capabilities, and solutions to address the real security concerns faced by citizens. The Home Minister commended the organizers and participants of the Sixth International Cyber Resilience Conference (CRC2026) for their crucial role in linking research, policymaking, enforcement, and national security requirements. The minister urged academics and researchers to ensure that their findings do not remain confined to conference discussions but are translated into policies, actions, and protective measures that have a tangible impact on people. The three-day CRC2026 conference, which commenced on Tuesday in Bangi, convenes experts and perspectives on cyber resilience in the face of evolving digital security threats.",
