Travel Advisory

GENERAL TRAVEL ADVICE
Malaysian citizens who plan to travel abroad should take extra precautionary measures. Most importantly, they must be alert and fully aware of all the items in their baggage. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been notified that there are a number of international criminal syndicates who are targeting Malaysians to be involved in their criminal activities. Those wishing to take up job offers overseas should first verify the status and the offer of the employer.
