Summary
Saifuddin Nasution Ismail stated that Malaysia must develop a more predictive, adaptive, and future-ready immigration system to respond to increasingly complex global migration challenges. He warned that immigration threats now include organized cross-border crime such as document forgery, migrant smuggling, exploitation of foreign workers, and abuse of visa systems, making purely reactive enforcement insufficient.

He also noted that geopolitical conflicts, economic instability, and uneven global development are driving unpredictable migration flows. According to him, migrant smuggling networks now use sophisticated methods such as forged passports, identity manipulation, and visa abuse, creating constantly evolving irregular migration systems across the Asia-Pacific region.
