To ensure faster and more efficient handling of financial fraud cases, the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) will now be led directly by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
The prime minister added that the NSRC has been allocated RM12 million.
Meanwhile, a further RM20 million has been allocated to empower PDRM's D11 division, which tackles online child sexual exploitation
The allocation will be used to modernise digital forensic systems and expertise, as well as to establish a new Behavioural Science Unit to analyse criminal behaviour.
