Malacca Strait is a strait located in the territorial coastal State of Indonesia,
Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. Characteristics of the Strait of Malacca are a narrow
waters (1,5 miles) and shallow at some point (25 m deep). From an economic and
strategic perspective, the Strait Malacca is one of the most important shipping lanes in
the world in 21th century. The history of the strait geological relevance goes as back
as 400 years of history. For centuries the strait has been the main shipping channel
between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It has been controlled by major
regional power and also by mayor global power during historical periods. Nowadays,
international pressure has forced the littoral states in this case, coastal state such as
Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia to up their efforts on improving Straits
security, national interests and a reluctance to address the problem as a potential
terror threat continues to hinder cooperation. This paper attempts to look at how two
neighbors in the same Straits came to have such divergent policies on combating
maritime terrorism.1
