PM directs embassy to assist stranded Malaysian in Milan
He said the Foreign Ministry has also been alerted to ensure appropriate action is taken to resolve the matter.
Anwar was responding to a post by Dalila on X, in which she appealed for help after losing her passport.
"Salam PMX @anwaribrahim, my name is Dalila Zaidi and I'm a Malaysian currently stranded in Milan after my passport was stolen in the afternoon yesterday, 30 June 2025 near Santa Sofia station...I truly appreciate your attention to this," she wrote.
In her post, Dalila claimed she had attempted to obtain an Emergency Travel Document from the Malaysian Embassy in Rome, but was informed that it was not possible due to the absence of an authorised officer to sign the necessary documents.
The Prime Minister will be in Italy for a three-day official visit from July 1 to 3, at the invitation of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. - BERNAMA

Zaid: Thai court has 'teeth', M'sian institutions 'shackled' by design
Former law minister Zaid Ibrahim has drawn comparisons between the suspension of Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra by the nation's court and the 'shackled' Malaysian judiciary. In an X post today, Zaid referenced the decision made by Thailand's Constitutional Court to suspend Paetongtarn from duty pending deliberation of a case involving her controversial leaked phone call with Cambodia's leader, Hun Sen.

India aims to simplify OCI applications for Malaysian Indians
KUALA LUMPUR: India is working to simplify the procedure for Malaysian Indians seeking the Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) status, acknowledging that documentation requirements remain a key challenge for applicants. In an exclusive interview with Bernama, High Commissioner of India to Malaysia B.N. Reddy said the mission recognises that many applicants face difficulties in providing proof of ancestry, particularly due to historical migration patterns and the loss of documents over time. 'Before OCI status is issued, individuals need to provide documents proving Indian origin, up to the third generation. 'The challenge is that many documents are not available because those who came here during the British era often did not retain them, and some were lost during the war period,' he said. Reddy said the High Commission has been engaging with the Indian government to allow for the use of documents issued by Malaysian authorities and former British colonial administrations to support OCI applications. 'We have tried to get our government to agree that documents issued by the Malaysian government or former Malaya authorities can be accepted. 'If a document identifies India as the country of origin, we can issue the OCI card,' he said. He said currently around 100,000 of over two million Malaysian Indians are holding OCI cards. OCI status allows foreign nationals of Indian origin to travel to India without a visa and grants certain rights, including the ability to own property under specific conditions, but does not confer citizenship.
