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.

The head of the National Police Agency's Human Rights Division visited Jeju Island and apologized to the family of Jang Mi-ran, who went missing 13 years ago, for the police's mishandling of the case. On the 26th, police officials, including the head of the National Police Agency's Human Rights Division, visited the home of Jang Mi-ran's family in a village in Seogwipo, Jeju Island. During the visit, the head of the Human Rights Division offered a sincere apology to the family for the police's past mistakes in handling Jang's case. The police had initially reported that Jang Mi-ran, who was 27 years old at the time, had voluntarily returned home after going out to a singing practice session on the evening of July 29, 2009. However, Jang's family and acquaintances claimed that she had not returned home, and they filed a missing persons report with the police. An investigation by the police found that there was no evidence of a crime, and they concluded that Jang had voluntarily returned home. The case was closed in 2011, but Jang's family continued to search for her. In June of this year, the police reopened the case and began a reinvestigation. On the 25th, DNA analysis confirmed that a set of remains found in a wooded area in Udo, Jeju Island, in 2011, were Jang's. The police said they are currently investigating how the remains ended up there. The head of the Human Rights Division expressed deep regret for the police's earlier mishandling of the case and promised to do their best to find out what happened to Jang.
