A TOTAL of 14 teachings that were declared as deviant were detected to be still active in the country, with eight of them under the supervision of the authorities.

Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, said that a total of 154 teachings were declared as deviant since 1950 until now.

He said that of the total, 114 teachings were identified and given attention by the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) Special Branch.

“Deviant teachings are among the threats to national security, in addition to the issue of corruption involving civil servants.

“A total of 14 such teachings were detected to be still active, while eight are under the supervision of the authorities.

"Among them are Perjalanan Mimpi Yang Terakhir, Dewan Perkasa Ekonomi Islam, Millah Abraham, Nur Mutiara Mutmainnah, The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light," he said as reported by Buletin TV3.

Ayob Khan also said that the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) will take strict action against corruption issues within the force to restore public trust.

He said that the corruption issue is a serious threat to the value of integrity, especially among civil servants.

"PDRM will take strict action against corruption issues among its own because integrity is the main key to regaining the public's full trust in the security forces," he said.

He also advised the public to take advantage of modern technology through the Volunteer Smartphone Patrol (VSP) system as a channel for rapid information dissemination.

“The community and the PDRM need to have a strong symbiotic bond to ensure that Malaysia remains a peaceful and harmonious country,” he said. – January 1, 2026
