SYNOPSIS
The Defence White Paper (DWP) is an open document on national defence policy that was approved in Parliament on 2 December 2019. This document plans the direction of national defence for a period of 10 years starting from 2021 until 2030, which includes the 12th Malaysia Plan (RMKe-12) and the 13th Malaysia Plan 13th (RMKe-13)
As Malaysia's first DWP, this paper explains the government's stance on national defence, presents a strategic perspective affecting national security and outlines a National Defence Framework to ensure Malaysia remains safe, sovereign and prosperous.
In line with the approach that defence is a shared responsibility, DWP has been developed using a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach. Engagement sessions were held with all ministries and Government agencies including voices from all walks of life, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Defence Industry players, MAF Veterans and academics as well as several strategic partner countries.
The DWP is proof of the government's commitment to strengthen the country's defence and resilience to protect the country's interests and defend sovereignty and territorial integrity.
