Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Masagos Zulkifli said that technological growth has resulted in more crime.
He said this at the 22nd Asian Regional Conference today.
"With technological development and integration, the connectivity that comes with it has allowed the easy facilitation of these illegal activities," Mr Masagos, who is also Second Minister for Home Affairs and Foreign Affairs, said.
"Traditional illegal activities, such as the production and trafficking of drugs, counterfeiting and human trafficking continue to remain a concern."
Mr Masagos also said that Islamic terrorists are also creating problems to the region.
"In the past, these groups were relatively weak and operated within their own countries, with a focus on domestic issues," he said.
"However, there has been an emergence of radical Islamic movements largely due to globalisation, with these groups cooperating with larger terrorist groups outside the region for funding and training. Such groups are now global threats with an international focus."
He also said that it is more difficult to identify home-grown terrorists now and this is a concern.
The conference is organised by Interpol to bring together police within the region to share experiences and tackle common crime issues.
