Malaysia's Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, Shamsul Anuar, stated in Parliament that between 2022 and May 2026, Malaysian authorities seized over 75,000 cryptocurrency mining machines in more than 3,000 nationwide raids and arrested 629 individuals. These operations were jointly conducted by the Malaysian police, the national electricity company Tenaga Nasional Berhad, and local authorities, focusing on cracking down on illegal mining activities involving unauthorized power connections, meter tampering, disrupting power systems, or unlicensed operations. Shamsul Anuar mentioned that while Malaysia allows the possession and trading of cryptocurrencies, it does not recognize them as legal tender.
