MDIO is headed by an army lieutenant general and consists of tri services military branch such as army intelligence, naval intelligence and air force intelligence.
History
The MDIO, formerly known as Defense Intelligence Staff Division (DISD), was established on 1 October 1981 to replace the Joint Intelligence Directorate (JID). Its main objective was to gather and produce intelligence products to counter the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) during the Second Malayan Emergency.
The Director General of MDIO is responsible for reporting to the Chief of Armed Forces, the Minister of Defence, and the National Security Division.[2]
On 23 September 2022, Chief of Defence Forces General Affendi Buang officially changed the name and logo of the Armed Forces Defence Intelligence Staff Division (DISD) to the Malaysian Defence Intelligence Organisation. [3]
Organisation
The DIO's headquarters is located in Kuala Lumpur. It is responsible for the overall management and administration of the organization.
From December 2023, Lieutenant-General Datuk Ahmad Norihan Jalal is retiring and his position has been handed over to his deputy and successor, Lieutenant-General Dato’ Mohd Razali Alias.[4] Congratulations are also extended to Lieutenant-General Dato’ Mohd Razali Alias on his appointment as the 18th Director-General of Malaysian Defence Intelligence Organisation (MDIO).
