Abstract
Malaysia tackles a plethora of security threats that have the potential to pose challenges to its sovereignty and survival. Malaysia’s security and threat perception have been influenced by two broad categories, including those of the structural and the social. Structurally, the physical configuration of Malaysia, which has distinctive strategic geopolitical features – the national territories are made up of west Malaysia (the Malay Peninsula) and east Malaysia (Borneo), and its sharing of physical and maritime boundaries with nearly all its Southeast Asian neighbors – has an important bearing on its conception of security. Malaysia’s security has also been influenced by the country’s political and social variables, particularly, on the multi-racial composition of the society.
