KUALA LUMPUR: Forming the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) is timely with the worrying increase in scam cases, says Universiti Teknologi Mara School of Media and Information Warfare Studies’ security and political analyst Dr Noor Nirwandy Mat Noordin.

“We hope the setting up of such a central agency and budget accorded to CyberSecurity Malaysia will lead to more awareness and more participation from the public in curbing scams and cybercrimes,” he said.The government announced in Budget 2023 the formation of the NSRC that will be operational this month.
