2 rakyat Malaysia cedera di Taiwan akibat Taufan Champi

Two Malaysian citizens are being treated in Taiwan for minor injuries sustained due to Typhoon Champi, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or Wisma Putra. The ministry announced this information is confirmed by the Malaysia Friendship and Trade Centre in Taipei, which provides consular assistance to the two victims. The centre continues to communicate closely with groups of Malaysian students and local authorities to monitor the situation and safeguard the well-being of Malaysian nationals in Taiwan.

Malaysian nationals requiring consular assistance or those who may have Malaysian citizens needing assistance in affected areas are encouraged to contact the Malaysia Friendship and Trade Centre in Taipei via phone +886 972 349 343 or email mwtaipei@kln.gov.my. Wisma Putra stated their team is closely monitoring the aftermath of the typhoon, which brought strong winds, heavy rain, and widespread disruption to transportation and public services.

Typhoon Champi caused flight cancellations and ferry disruptions, with bad weather expected to persist in several regions of Taiwan. The ministry advises residents and visitors in Taiwan to remain vigilant and avoid coastal and mountainous areas, while adhering to all safety and evacuation instructions issued by local authorities.

Malaysian nationals residing or visiting Taiwan are advised to always stay alert, avoid beach and hillside areas, and follow all safety and evacuation orders issued by local authorities. The ministry also encourages Malaysian nationals to monitor local weather advisories and refrain from unnecessary travel to affected flood, landslide, or other weather-related disaster zones.

Wisma Putra emphasized that due to ongoing transportation disruptions, Malaysian nationals with travel plans should verify flight or ferry status directly with controllers before reaching airports or terminals. The ministry urges all Malaysian citizens to register and keep their contact information up-to-date on the e-Konsular portal at https://ekonsular.kln.gov.my to facilitate consular communication and assistance as needed.
