Abstract

Since 2013 to 2018, many successes have been achieved through the implementation of FDDM by the DNA Databank Division (D13) Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) and the Department of Chemistry Malaysia (KIMIA). Amongst those successes was the increase in the number of DNA samples analyzed by 31,095 for the year 2018; as compared to 2017 which was only 11,359; and now the total number of DNA samples that have been successfully analyzed by (D13) was 96,037. With the full commitment and cooperation given by both RMP and KIMIA, the DNA profiles in the FDDM System have touched the remarkable number of 100,000 in 2018. This is a great success for both agencies. The matching cases also showed an increase in number and by year 2018, there were 33 cases and it is expected to undergo continual increment from year to year. The MS ISO/ IEC 17025:2005 Accreditation for RMP DNA Laboratory is currently gearing up for a new version of MS ISO/ IEC 17025:2017 Accreditation, which is scheduled to be implemented. Spanning the 21st century, RMP and KIMIA are always positive in ensuring that the direction of FDDM constantly evolves from time to time in line with the rapid development of DNA Technology.
