Professor Rohan Gunaratna, Head of the Nanyang Tech Uni Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research, discusses the risk of Malaysia coming under attack by terrorists, how many occurrences of terrorist activities there has been, whether Malaysia is a breeding ground for global terrorists, whether Malaysia has adequate security/defence plans in place should the country come under attack, whether Malaysia has an active intelligence network to monitor terrorist activity, the cost of defending the nation against terrorist attacks and whether there any special precautions to prevent venues such as the Petronas Twin Towers from coming under attack. He also talks about how closely authorities in the region and globally work together to prevent these attacks, whether there is a lack of awareness by authorities and the general public in managing this threat in Malaysia, and whether more funds should be routed to prepare the nation for terrorist attacks.
