No security incidents during 46th Asean Summit, says Bukit Aman
Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order deputy director (operations) Deputy Comm MV Sri Kumar said the smooth security arrangements for all heads of state, delegations, and staff were made possible through the close cooperation of all parties, particularly the Foreign Ministry and other relevant agencies.
'The movement of heads of state and delegations to and from the conference venue went according to plan. Security arrangements for all parties throughout the summit were also well-executed,' he said when contacted Wednesday (May 28).
He added that the phased road closures around hotels accommodating the delegations and the conference venue were implemented smoothly, with strong cooperation from the public.
Media previously reported that nearly 6,200 PDRM officers and personnel were deployed during the summit period to ensure comprehensive security coverage.
The phased road closures, which began on May 23, involved six highways and 25 main roads across the Klang Valley to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of delegations.
The 46th Asean Summit was held under Malaysia's 2025 chairmanship, themed "Inclusion and Sustainability". - Bernama

Timor-Leste to sign Bangkok Treaty, expanding nuclear weapon-free zone
KUALA LUMPUR: Timor-Leste's participation in the Bangkok Treaty, also known as the Southeast Asian Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone (SEANWFZ) Treaty, will expand the international instrument's geographic scope of application. Foreign Ministry secretary-general Datuk Seri Amran Mohamed Zin said Timor-Leste's participation in the treaty was a positive development as the island nation is set to join Asean. "Timor-Leste will join the SEANWFZ. It will expand the geographic scope of the treaty. "This is a positive aspect from Timor-Leste's new membership in Asean," he said after the SEANWFZ executive committee meeting here today. He said the goal was to get countries with nuclear weapons to sign the treaty to protect the region from nuclear weapon harm. He said although there was progress in the past years, efforts must be heightened to get more signatories. "The main issue is to get nuclear weapon states to accede the protocols or the treaty. "There has been progress, but we need more significant progress." China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States are listed as nuclear weapon states under the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty. Previously, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hassan announced that China and Russia had agreed to sign the SEANWFZ Treaty, while the US was reviewing it. On May 25, the Asean Foreign Ministers' Meeting adopted the draft addendum to the SEANWFZ Treaty. The addendum provides the legal basis to enable Asean member states and Timor-Leste to undertake domestic procedures for accession, marking Timor-Leste's integration into Asean's political and security frameworks. The meeting in May also adopted the Guidelines to Facilitate Timor-Leste's Accession to Asean Legal Instruments and Agreements, marking continued progress towards Timor-Leste's full membership in Asean, scheduled to take place in October. The Bangkok Treaty was signed on Dec 15, 1995 by 10 Asean member states and registered with the United Nations on June 27, 1997.
