M'sians in India, Pakistan urged to stay safe
SEREMBAN: Malaysians in India and Pakistan, especially students, are advised to contact the High Commission offices in the two countries and submit complete information to facilitate communication and assistance if needed.
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan also advised Malaysians there to be careful and not to visit risky areas following the recent cross-border attacks.
'Malaysians there, especially students, are advised to avoid visiting dangerous places, especially in Kashmir, and cancel their trips there.
'So far, no Malaysians have been affected,' he told reporters after officiating the SK Senawang 3 Parent-Teacher Association (PIBG) meeting here yesterday.
Mohamad, who is also Rembau MP, said Malaysia called on India and Pakistan to immediately de-escalate military action.
He said Wisma Putra also informed the government that it was closely following the latest developments regarding the increase in tensions between India and Pakistan, and urged both nations to remain calm.
'We are very concerned about this situation, especially the incidents of shooting using drones and rockets, which needs to be avoided.
'I hope the leaders of these two countries can think of the bigger picture rather than looking at the current situation,' he said.

He said it also reflects the shared commitment of both nations to continue high-level engagements and cooperation. "I hope this visit will further strengthen our diplomatic relations, broaden strategic collaboration across various sectors and promote Malaysia's national interest on the global stage. "Insya-Allah, may this mission bring benefits to the people and the country," he said. During the visit, Zahid is scheduled to meet with Governor-General Dame Cindy Kiro, Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour, Foreign Minister Winston Peters, Maori Development Minister Tama Potaka, as well as Agriculture, Trade and Investment Minister Todd McClay.
