KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians in Yemen have been advised to make immediate preparations to leave voluntarily while commercial flights remain available, amid escalating armed conflict across several areas.
The Malaysian Embassy in Muscat, Oman has urged Malaysians living in Yemen to make immediate arrangements to leave the country voluntarily due to the escalating armed conflict in the region. In a Facebook notice, the embassy stressed the importance of personal safety and advised citizens to prioritize it over all else. Malaysians were directed to plan their departure carefully, ensuring safe travel routes, available transport, and all necessary travel documents were in order.
The embassy also recommended checking the status of flights and remaining vigilant, avoiding conflict zones, staying informed of developments, and following instructions from local authorities.
The embassy further advised Malaysians to postpone all travel to Yemen until conditions stabilise. Those still in Yemen who have not yet registered with the embassy were urged to do so through the e-Konsular portal at https://ekonsular.kln.gov.my and download the MyWorldAlert application for updates and critical information. The embassy maintained that updates and essential information would continue to be shared via its official channels.
