KUALA LUMPUR: An analysis by the Nordic Counter-Terrorism Network has found that several radical Islamist groups based in Europe are planning to relocate their operations to Malaysia, according to the network’s director, Andrin Raj. However, he did not identify any group.
He said foreign Islamist radicals are drawn to establishing a foothold in Malaysia because of the widespread presence of radical ideologies in the country.

“Foreign Islamist radicals are converging on Malaysia because they are aware of the country’s weak policies in countering radicalism,” he told FMT. He said the current policies fail to address the symptoms and root causes for radicalism.
