Malaysia’s Deputy Home Minister Shamsul Anuar said in Parliament that between 2022 and May 2026, Malaysian authorities seized more than 75,000 cryptocurrency mining machines in over 3,000 nationwide raids, and arrested 629 people. The related operations were carried out jointly by the Malaysian police, the national power utility Tenaga Nasional Berhad, and local authorities, focusing on cracking down on illegal mining carried out via unauthorized power connections, tampering with electricity meters, disrupting power supply systems, or operating without a license. Shamsul Anuar said that Malaysia allows the holding and trading of cryptocurrencies but does not recognize them as legal tender. (Decrypt)
