PETALING JAYA: The foreign ministry is undertaking efforts to evacuate Malaysians who are stranded in the Middle East or who wish to return to Malaysia, following the suspension of flights and closure of airspace in parts of the region.
Wisma Putra said Malaysians in the affected countries are “strongly urged to immediately register and update their contact details with the nearest Malaysian mission or via e-Konsular to facilitate the coordination of evacuation arrangements”.
“The ministry expresses serious concern over the heightened escalation of the conflict in the Middle East and advises Malaysians to defer travel to countries affected by the conflict until further notice, including those intending to perform umrah.
