The Pasukan Gerakan Khas (Abbreviation: PGK; Police Special Operations Command; SOCOM) is an elite high-profile counter-terrorism and special operations tactical unit of the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP). The PGK has two distinct subdivisions; VAT 69 (Very Able Trooper-69; Komando 69) and the Special Actions Unit (Malay: Unit Tindakan Khas; UTK).

The PGK is capable of dealing with a wide range of special operations from counter-terrorism operations to rescue operations. The actual size and organisation of the Directorate is classified. Tasked with enforcing Malaysian law through sea, air and land operations, the PGK is a vital component of the RMP.
