Sun’s comments came in response to questions regarding knife-related crimes and measures to protect the public, following an attack in November where a priest was stabbed during mass.
The 2024 figure is in line with the average of 133 such cases annually between 2021 and 2023, Sun said.
The ministry had previously reported around 150 knife-related crimes per year between 2017 and 2021.
