PUTRAJAYA: The Home Ministry constantly updates heads of foreign missions on the security situation in the country so as to negate any perception that the government is withholding information, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He said information on any incident and that regarded as vital would be automatically conveyed to these diplomats.
“This will negate any perception that we are withholding information and not telling the truth. They have the responsibility to inform their countries and their foreign ministries of the actual security situation and other issues in Malaysia,” he said.
Speaking to the media after opening a briefing for heads of foreign missions on the security situation in Malaysia, the Home Minister said the ministry and the police were bent on addressing terrorism and other crime.
He also said that not many questions were raised at the session for the 86 heads of foreign missions and seven international organisations because they understood the security situation in the country. – Bernama
