Erecting security fences totalling 2,666km along the nations borders is being considered as a measure to stop smuggling and people trafficking.
The home ministry is conducting a feasibility study on the fencing which will also serve as a replacement for existing border fences that are in deplorable condition.
Each year, the government loses more than 7 billion ringgit (US$1.90 billion)to the smuggling of goods such as rice, petrol, diesel, alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, fertiliser and herbicides.
There is also the matter of firearms being smuggled into the country, stolen vehicles snuck into neighbouring countries and fake fashion brands making their way in.
But stopping the trafficking of people is also a major reason for putting up the fences.
The fencing is for our borders with Thailand, Indonesia and Brunei, and whats being studied is the type of fence, its height, total cost, how it will be guarded and if it needs to be electrified.

ST. PETERSBURG (FOX 13) -
The barricades for the 2015 St. Petersburg Grand Prix are already moving into place. In the near future, thousands of museum visitors will have to use shuttles to get to the Salvador Dali Museum, which will once again be inside the race course.
For ten years, March has included tensions between two of St. Petersburg's major attractions.
However, this year, the two contenders are starting fresh.
"The museum is obviously very important to the city, as is the race, so how can we work together and make it mutually beneficial?" Dali marketing director Kathy Greif old FOX 13 News. "We have to be good partners to this community."
Grand Prix president and co-owner Kevin Savoree said, "And we have to be good partners to our stakeholders."
Last year, the museum actually shut down race weekend, when patrons had to buy race tickets just to get to the front door.
This year, the Dali will host the Grand Prix's welcoming party Thursday night of race week.
"What other city can host something like that for all of its competitors and sponsors?" Savoree queried.
The museum will also house corporate grand prix parties during the races, and the respective websites for the Grand Prix and the Dali are cross-promoting.

Updated: Wednesday, 11 Mar 2015 18:31 | Comments Davy Russell clears the last on Rivage D'Or
Davy Russell steered Rivage D'Or to victory over the cross-country fences at Cheltenham in an incident-packed Glenfarclas Handicap Chase.
The former Irish champion jockey is no stranger to success over the banks at Prestbury Park and was content to bide his time faced with the marathon distance of almost four miles.
Rivage D'Or slowly crept into the race and avoided a nasty spill before the home turn as French challenger and favourite Toutancarmont went left and took out Quantitativeeasing, with both crashing through the rails.
Russell guided Tony Martin's charge over the final obstacle and he galloped all the way to the line to score by two and a quarter lengths.
Any Currency, narrowly denied in this race a year ago, had to make do with the runner-up spot once again.
Willie Mullins-trained pair Uncle Junior, aged 14, and Dogora, were third and fourth respectively.
Russell said: "I enjoyed that immensely. The horse was brilliant.He (Martin) is a dangerous man around here."
Martin was quick to highlight the role Russell played in the victory. He said: "Davy's a natural horseman and was the right man for the job.
"Throughout the race we were always happy, it was just a matter of being patient and waiting."

Cross-country goes way of Rivage D'Or
Lucas Jackson/Reuters Barbed wire fences surround a building on Rikers Island Correctional Facility in New York December 24, 2013. NEW YORK In the week since New York City jail officials took the rare step of locking down four of Rikers Island's largest facilities for 34 hours to stop gang violence, four inmates have been slashed and a fifth stabbed, according to jail statistics obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press.
Three slashings and a stabbing occurred in the jails that the elite Department of Correction security officers locked down on March 3 and 4 to search 2,000 inmates and their cells, according to official jail reports. A fourth slashing Wednesday occurred in a facility that houses older inmates as well as 16- and 17-year-olds.
The rash of violence comes a day after jails Commissioner Joseph Ponte told reporters the lockdown was a short-term success in slowing the increased problem of gang, as well as intra-gang, fighting in the nation's second-largest jail system. It also comes a day before Mayor Bill de Blasio is scheduled to visit the 10-facility jail complex to unveil a comprehensive 14-point plan to curb violence.
While inmate violence is down from a high of 1,552 stabbings and slashings in 1990, it has recently begun to climb, with 93 such incidents last year up from 73 the year before, jail statistics show.
Guards' use of force has also steadily increased, and the rate was up by 11 percent in January and February compared with the same months of last year, according to the data.
The 34-hour operation was initiated after gang intelligence officers noticed an uptick of violence between two specific sets of the Bloods gang, including four slashings over a recent three-day period, corrections officials have said.
There was other disorder in the jails during that span.
An inmate assaulted a female guard, attempting to sexually assault her before he was stopped by guards and inmates, according to court papers. Two correction officers also got in a fight while on duty, and an inmate in a solitary confinement dorm somehow obtained a guard's keys, opening up cell doors before he was stopped.
A jails spokesman didn't immediately return a request for comment by the AP, but Ponte told reporters Tuesday after a public meeting with the jails oversight board that the lockdown was a temporary success, but in the long term, "we need to get better at managing the jails."
"I think we use those surgically to try and identify an issue," Ponte said of the lockdowns. "The issue for me always is, 'Is it gang driven? Is it going to happen here and here and here?' So you try and really, as best you can, you try and get that information so you can make better decisions."
