The Malaysian Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 is clear in terms of enforcement, reporting institutions and entities, detecting of red flags, sanctions, seizures, etc.
However, there is a possibility of overlapping of duties between several agencies, leaving the general public unclear about "who can do what." This includes Bank Negara Malaysia, Security Commission, Company Commission of Malaysia, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency, Royal Military Police, and Special Forces. It's important to sort out these duties to ensure transparency and clarity in the system.
Other potential shortcomings include different reporting periods, accessing databases, listing and global sharing of information. I hope to see improvements in the near future.
