Crime in Malaysia manifests in various forms, including murder, drive-by shooting,[1] drug trafficking, money laundering, fraud, black marketeering, and many others.[2] Sex trafficking in Malaysia is a significant problem.[3][4][5]
The crime rate in Malaysia showed a decline of 11.9% in 2018 compared to the previous year.[6] However, the public perception of crime did not improve.
According to the Royal Malaysia Police in 2014, the cities and towns with the highest number of criminal cases (in descending order) were Petaling Jaya, Johor Bahru, Bukit Mertajam, Ipoh and Kuantan.[7]
