Bangladeshi militant group crippled
Ahmad Ramdzan presenting the award to the best academic participant at the event. KOTA KINABALU (July 5): The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) has confirmed that the Bangladeshi Radical Militant Group (GMRB) has been successfully crippled following a series of raids and operations in Peninsular Malaysia since April. Bukit Aman Special Branch I Deputy Director, Datuk Ahmad Ramdzan Daud, said all identified members of the group have been arrested. 'So far, I can say that the Bangladeshi militant group, GMRB, has been crippled. However, we believe there may still be other militant elements that have yet to be detected, and we will continue monitoring the situation closely,' he said. Ahmad Ramdzan made the statement at the Police Basic Training Programme (PULAPOL) Graduation Parade, Series 5/2025, held at the Sabah Police Contingent Headquarters (IPK) in Kepayan on Saturday. He highlighted that one of the major challenges in combating radical groups like GMRB is their use of social media to recruit members and spread extremist ideologies. 'Some members of GMRB were recruited through social media platforms, which have become powerful tools for the covert dissemination of radical views. We need to strengthen our technological and cyber-monitoring capabilities to detect these activities early,' he said. While acknowledging social media's role in public engagement, Ahmad Ramdzan warned that it is also being manipulated by foreign militant elements. 'Social media can serve as the eyes and ears of the public for law enforcement, but at the same time, it is exploited for extremism. We remain committed to our responsibilities, with a strong focus on community service,' he added. At the event, a total of 200 trainees completed their six-month police training, which comprised three core modules — Policing Transformation, Mindset Transformation and Policing Management.

Bukit Aman must up its cybersecurity game after GMRB, says Special Branch deputy director
KOTA KINABALU: Bukit Aman recognises the need to stay up to speed with the rapid technological and cybersecurity advancements to intercept the spread of radical ideologies. Bukit Aman Special Branch deputy director Comm Datuk Ahmad Ramdzan Daud said militant and extremist groups like the Bangladeshi Radical Militant Group (GMRB) were making full use of social media to recruit members and spread their ideologies. "We need to improve our technological and cyber-monitoring capabilities so that we can detect such activities early," he said. He said that while social media has become an important tool for communication, it has also become a major weapon for foreign militants. "Social media can be the eyes and ears of the community towards us, but at the same time, it is also manipulated for the purpose of extremism,' Comm Ahmad Ramdzan stressed. He said although police have crippled the GMRB, which was collecting funds to support Islamic State (IS) cells in Syria and Bangladesh, they believe there were still other militant elements yet to be detected. 'Therefore, we continue to monitor the situation,' he said, adding it was their duty to remain vigilant and do their best in any circumstances. Comm Ahmad Ramdzan said this to reporters after closing the Police Basic Training Programme (Pulapol) graduation parade, Series 5/2025 at the Sabah police headquarters in Kepayan here, Saturday (July 5). A total of 200 trainees completed their six-month training, which included three main modules, namely Policing Transformation, Mindset Transformation and Policing Management.
