KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Border Security Agency (Aksem), which was established on December 29, 2017, is now placed under the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.
Hamzah said the tasks were entrusted to the Internal Security and Public Order Department of the General Operations Force.
“On March 12, the cabinet had agreed with the proposed rationalisation of Aksem through a restructuring exercise for it to be placed under PDRM. The Aksem Act 2017 (Act 799) will be repealed after the restructuring process is implemented.
“The restructuring of Aksem into PDRM will be implemented in phases from today until September 30 this year,” he said during a press conference at the handover ceremony of Aksem duties to PDRM in Bukit Aman here today.
He said the restructuring exercise involved aspects of its roles, handover of assets, realignment of staffing and human resources, as well as financial and procurement management. – Bernama, June 30, 2021
