"One of them is from Kedah and the other one is from Perak. Let the police handle it for now," he told reporters on the sidelines of the International Conference on Deradicalisation and Violent Extremism here today.
When asked is he worried with the recent militants arrest and threats, Khalid said,"Of course I am worried but you can't just be worried and you have to take the necessary measures to stop it from happening."
On the implementation of Regional Digital Counter-Messaging Communication Centre which was also suggested by the Prime

"We will look into certain aspects of the communication centre, God willing, we will kick off with it soon," he said.

He said the militants were attempting to instil fear in the public.
