This typhoon has resulted in at least one death and hundreds more injuries, prompting the centre to provide consular assistance to the affected individuals. Wisma Putra, the centre's representative, stated that they are continuously monitoring the situation and supporting Malaysian students and residents in Taiwan.\n\nThe foreign ministry has advised Malaysians residing or visiting Taiwan to exercise caution due to the typhoon's intensity, which is expected to cause power outages and bring down trees. Around 1,000 flights were canceled yesterday, and 242 flights were disrupted today as a result of the typhoon. In addition to the injuries in Taiwan, one man on Liuqiu Island passed away after being swept away by waves during the storm.",
