KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians in South Sudan have been urged to prioritise their safety and to leave the country immediately while commercial flights remain available.
In a statement, Wisma Putra said it was closely monitoring the security situation in South Sudan through the High Commission of Malaysia in Nairobi, Kenya, following recent developments that had led to increasing insecurity in the country.
“Given the heightened risks and the potential for further deterioration of the situation, the ministry strongly urges all remaining Malaysians in South Sudan to prioritise their safety and make preparations to immediately leave the country while commercial flights remain operational,” it said.
It said the high commission was in contact with Malaysians through the available channels, while coordination with United Nations authorities was ongoing to ascertain the status of the 18 police officers currently serving with the United Nations Police.
“All of them are reported to be safe,” it added.
The ministry also advised against all travel to South Sudan.
