PUTRAJAYA: The Royal Malaysian Customs Department (JKDM) recorded revenue collections of RM76.18 billion in 2025. This exceeded the initial annual projection of RM67.25 billion by RM8.93 billion.
JKDM director-general Datuk Anis Rizana Mohd Zainudin said the 2025 figure marked a 16.18% increase from the RM65.57 billion collected in 2024. The performance from 2022 to 2025 showed a consistent upward trend.
“This achievement reflects two consecutive years of revenue growth exceeding RM10 billion in 2024 and 2025,” she said. She added that it underscored the effectiveness of JKDM’s strategic approach in strengthening tax compliance, enforcement and trade facilitation.
Regarding revenue targets for 2026, Anis stated that discussions were ongoing with the Ministry of Finance. JKDM would continue to support national fiscal reforms and ensure the sustainability of federal government finances.
She also noted that 1,053 Customs officer positions had been transferred to the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency. This transition at 22 entry points was effective from October 1, 2025.
“Despite human resource transition challenges, JKDM has maintained strong revenue performance through process optimisation, operational restructuring and strategic use of technology,” she said.
