Ketua Polis Kelantan Yusoff Mamat meminta orang ramai supaya menangguhkan dulu perjalanan ke Thailand bagi mengelakkan perkara tidak diingini berlaku.

Tiada rakyat Malaysia terbabit insiden keganasan 3 wilayah selatan Thailand

In recent events in southern Thailand, there have been no Malaysian citizens involved in a series of violent incidents that included bombings and acts of terrorism in three regions, according to Kelantan Police Chief Yusoff Mamat. The police chief urged Malaysians, especially those from Kelantan, to delay their journeys to Thailand to avoid any unfortunate consequences.

The region has been experiencing over 50 incidents of unrest and tension in recent days, but the incidents reported last night were particularly severe. The police do not wish to alarm the Malaysian public as there is currently no reported loss of life from Malaysia. The police have advised Malaysians to delay their travels to Thailand for now, but they are not preventing anyone from entering the country, only urging caution.

Previously, media reported that Narathiwat region had been placed under curfew following the incidents. More than 50 incidents, including bombings, burning of government offices and burning of tires, were reported in Narathiwat, Yala and Pattani.
