44 3R cases reported, effective inter-agency action crucial to address issues, says MPPN
PUTRAJAYA: A total of 44 cases involving 3R (religion, race, and royalty) issues were reported between January and April this year, prompting the government to call for stronger inter-agency collaboration and enforcement to address the rising concerns. The data was revealed by the police during the National Unity Advisory Council (MPPN) Meeting No. 1/2025, which also endorsed the 'Alert, Sensitive, Engagement and Control' strategy to manage sensitive unity issues nationwide. The council also discussed a study on unity issues from the security aspect, presented by the police, which revealed the 3R-related cases reported. The council agreed that integrated action and inter-agency collaboration must be effectively mobilised to address 3R issues efficiently. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, who is also the MPPN chairman, in a statement after the meeting, emphasised the importance of taking firm and effective action against provocation and racial sentiment on social media. He also called on enforcement agencies such as the police, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and others to act swiftly, while urging all government agencies to work together comprehensively to safeguard the country's harmony and unity. Meanwhile, National Unity Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang, in the same statement, said his ministry would organise the Persidangan Pembinaan Negara Bangsa Madani (Madani Nation-Building Conference) in June. He said that the conference would provide a national platform for discussing approaches, strategies, and policies aimed at strengthening a united and progressive Malaysia based on Madani values. During the same meeting, the National Service Training Department presented on the re-implementation of the National Service Training Programme (PLKN), which would involve citizens aged 17 to 35 years under a new concept based on the National Service Training Act, Security White Paper, National Unity Policy, and National Community Policy. The government had earlier decided that the basic PLKN 3.0 training at public universities, polytechnics, and teacher education institutes would commence with the intake of students for the 2026/2027 academic session. –Bernama
