PETALING JAYA: Malaysians have to take the Islamic State (IS) terror group seriously as it has gained a foothold in the region, says Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin. "Perhaps Malaysians do not take this development seriously, but this is the number one security threat to our country," he said. "When that happens, the chances of an attack made by one individual or a 'lone wolf' in our country would be higher," he said, adding that such "lone wolf" attacks are the most difficult to detect. Meanwhile, Hishammuddin agreed that the IS threat is the top security threat in Malaysia. He also tweeted that information about “lone wolf” attacks usually come from international intelligence sources.
