Abstract

The exact process of radicalisation and a framework that could provide a proper grasp of radicalisation process unique to the culture and societal values are still yet to be established especially an input from psychological perspectives. There is a lack of psychological understanding to the process that provides a comprehensive framework of radicalisation process based on Malaysian culture. This paper hopes to introduce a new framework with a focused understanding of radicalisation process for a unique country such as Malaysia. This is a commentary paper presenting a novel viewpoint on how radicalisation process should be understood from psychological perspective in the modern digital world and currently affecting a civilised society with majority Muslim community in Malaysia. Additionally, the paper proposes that the psychological process of radicalisation must be assessed via push and pull risk factors of radicalisation leading to a radical outcome which further varies from both violent and non-violent manifestation.
