The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) managed to foiled six plots since last December by terrorists attempting to create chaos in the country.

Bukit Aman Special Branch Counter-Terrorism Division principal assistant director Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said the police uncovered the plots in a series of operations conducted to hunt down the terrorists in the country.

Following the arrests of various individuals since last December, it was found that several terrorists in the country had begun collecting chemical substances which could be made into bombs, he told reporters after attending the International Conference on Deradicalisation and Countering Violent Extremism, in Kuala Lumpur today.
