IFSEC in Malaysia

by Mark Rowe

The security, fire and safety exhibition and conference, IFSEC Southeast Asia (IFSEC SEA), will open its doors from September 2 to 4, 2015 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre in Malaysia.

Inspector General of Royal Malaysia Police, Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Khalid Bin Abu Bakar, will be officiating the event. He said: “While the police force has taken a number of initiatives to combat and prevent crime, success in reducing crime can only come about with the co-operation of all parties involved. I urge all Malaysians to stand together with our police force to prevent loss of lives and properties. I also call upon the security personnel to adopt technology that will improve effectiveness and productivity. International exhibitions and conferences such as IFSEC Southeast Asia play an important role in the introduction of new technologies and promoting business networking and, more importantly, act as a platform to develop regional co-operation in tackling issues in security.”

Over 350 participants, including national pavilions from the United Kingdom, Taiwan, China and Singapore, will showcase their latest technological advancements, solutions and services. Industry players include Panasonic, Sony, Samsung Techwin, Dahua, Fingertec and Bricomp and more.

IFSEC SEA is supported by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA), Ministry of Urban Well-being, Housing and Local Government of Malaysia (KPKT), the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP), CyberSecurity Malaysia, the British Security Industry Association (BSIA), American Society of Industrial Security (ASIS) and the Asian Professional Security Association (APSA) Malaysia Chapter. APSA will organise its own conference, themed “Strategising Public and Community Security in a Developing Nation”, with a gala dinner which will host YAB Dato’ Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, as the guest of honour with IFSEC SEA.

IFSEC SEA is introducing a new event called Safe Cities. Safe Cities is an approach to urban security, featuring the ability to efficiently and effectively react, respond to and monitor incidents related to crime, terrorism, accidents or natural disasters. The four main focus areas within Safe Cities at IFSEC Southeast Asia are: Critical National Infrastructure, Public Order, Cyber Security and Counter-Terrorism. Co-located with Safe Cities is Rail Business Asia 2015. This third edition is themed “Evolving Rail Industry in Asia: Sustainability, Connectivity and Safety”, and is co-hosted by the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) and the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Malaysia, and supported by the Institute of Railway Signal Engineers (IRSE).

Visitors can hear a free-to-attend seminar, the IFSEC Global Security Technology Showcase. Speakers include YBhg. Datin Paduka Dr. Dahlia Rosly, Director-General of Federal Department of Town and Country Planning, Malaysia; Gaku Hikada, Manager of Panasonic System Solutions Asia Pacific; Brian Lee, Regional Business Development Manager of MicroEngine Technology; Rocco Vitali, Product Manager Electronic Security Products of ISEA Serrature S.p.A Italy; and Philip Saint-Pere, Managing Director of Stratel (M) Sdn Bhd.
