The bombing of the New York Financial Trade Center by the Al-Qaeda group on November 9, 2001 (known as the 9/11 tragedy) has had a big implication on the global political scenario as the event leading the United States to launch a Global War on the Terrorist (GWT) to combat terrorism. At the same time in Southeast Asia an organization named Jemaah Islamiyyah (JI) showed direct contact with Al-Qaeda, an allegedly terrorist organization, making the Southeast Asian region the second priority in the list of fight against terrorism by the great powerhouse after the middle east. Sources suggest that JI has made Malaysia the mask of the movable operation to launch several attacks in the Southeast Asian region and had indirectly led Malaysia to deal seriously in countering terrorism. Hence, it is Malaysia's role to address this phenomenon which can be approached in two angles, first is to convince the international community that Malaysia is not the centre of violence and secondly to prevent these attacks occurring in Malaysia itself. This article attempts to highlight the threats of terrorism by JI and reveal efforts conducted by the Malaysian government and its allies from ASEAN countries to counter terrorism.
Abstrak

Pada masa yang sama di Asia Tenggara terdapat kumpulan Jemaah Islamiyyah (JI) yang mempunyai hubungan secara langsung dengan Al-Qaeda, oleh itu rantau Asia Tenggara telah di letakkan ‘second front’ dalam senarai keutamaan memerangi keganasan oleh negara kuasa besar tersebut selepas Asia Barat. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan wujudnya Justeru itu, peranan Malaysia dalam menangani keganasan ini boleh dilihat dari dua sudut, pertama untuk meyakinkan masyarakat antabangsa bahawa Malaysia bukan pusat keganasan dan kedua tidak mahu negara ini menjadi mangsa pengeboman oleh JI. Metodologi kajian adalah menggunakan kontekstual analisis di mana rujukan semasa seperti penulisan berita, kajian akademik, dan juga jurnal sains sosial bertemakan keselamatan global. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk menghuraikan bahayanya keganasan oleh JI dan usaha-usaha yang dilakukan kerajaan Malaysia, juga cadangan dan penambahbaikan untuk turut sama menangani keganasan dalam kerangka kerjasama negara-negara ASEAN.
